You probably won't see much of a difference on an EG, the rad support is pretty solid and sealed to the radiator. If you look at the nose of a 240 or some other cars you'll see huge openings, especially around the hood latch that will allow a lot of air to escape out of and go around the radiator instead of through it.

I know because its basic physics and aerodynamics
All the plate does is act as a guide for air. A peice of wood will do the same thing

The way the radiator sits on an EG chassis is efficient enough...whereas the EK has a vent and gaps in the front grille. It does help on the EG chassis, but not as much as it would on the EK chassis.

I would figure if you wanted to cover the messed up radiator support, it wouldnt sit right. Those things dont have room for adjustability when things aren't lined up correctly.

i was kinda thinking that, i also have a Fluidyne GSR rad in there so it prob would not fit anyway, i was just hoping i could modify it alot easier than trying to make my own. i guess i may be better of trying to make one for my self.

thats exactly my first and final thought about a diffuser for an EG. i'd consider that piece eye candy if anything else for a street car. now if your car is on the track on a regular basis the benefits will be larger, though im talking about a road course and not a drag strip
