Some pics from a little further away would really show it off.
As its a bit close in to really get comfy with it.
Would you possibly paint it black to check it out before/if you ditch it (only if you dont dig it though)
I would imagine since its so perforated that the rad still gets tons of needed air right? I kinda dont like the idea of it getting
just enough.

I dont know how much it matters though, I have never seen anything like that measured.
I do notice it contrasting quite a bit with the upper grill though. I dont know if its bad, just that it stands out.
