I would not worry about the inlet temp sensor, it is a couple inches at the inlet where the air temp is being read. These screens would cut down the total airflow over the two radiators a small amount but nothing that would be detrimental to performance. With the Nav 5 you can pull up all the pertinent information along with air inlet temp and if you were worried you could monitor it directly yourself. Already I have three spots where small rocks have dinged off the upper radiator, I will be getting one of the Power Bronze as soon as they are available.
