Nope. If all the mesh was punched out, they'd look ok. But as it's only a square section on each side, they don't do it for me.
I can't back it up scientifically without doing some work on it, but having worked with CFD in the past, I'd imagine this causes added turbulence and drag at the front of the car, particularly if they are used as a purely cosmetic mod and the air isn't routed any where. Think about trying to move a cup through water open-end first and the resistance you feel. With these open grills that are closed from behind, it's a similar effect
