overheating from rk bumper?

ok guys Im gona purchase the rkpsort urethane kit from bodykits.com for my 4 door sunfire. Ive been researching that the front bumper causes the car to overheat due to blocking the radiator. is this so? and how are u guys doing to cope with it thanks.

it's been known to cause a few cars to overheat in long term stop and go traffic... i havn't had a single problem with my car even getting warmer than normal with the streetfire front bumper... so it does depend on how you drive and what kind of conditions you drive in.

I drive my car hard even in stop/go traffic, and have yet to run into even the slightest overheating prob...I really havent even noticed a shift in temp at all...I guess it all depends on the year more than anything, from the probs I have heard about...the 02- have more of a prob than the 03+. Dunno where the dif comes from, but as far as I know, that is where the big prob comes in.
