Grill guards on the radiators?

Do having grill guards installed help keep radiators from getting dirty and at a lower temp.

I'm not specifically sure which product you're referring to, but yes, putting some type of guard in front of the radiators can't hurt unless the guards themselves get clogged and block airflow to the radiator. They will also probably increase the resistance of airflow to the radiators, but that shouldn't make a noticeable difference in my opinion.

I installed a set that I got from Automotive Atlanta on my '99 Boxster and other than doing a good job of keeping debris from the radiators have not changed anything else. I choose them because the install on the front so I didn't have to take anything apart to install them. I coated them with matt black truck bed coating before installing and they are barely noticeable on the car and cover up the faded plastic grills.
