"active" aero grille slats on 06 civic concept

06 civic sedan modified by aftermarket japanese company - note increasingly common camera side mirror trick. more interesting from an aerodynamic perspective (and arguably more effective) is the lower grille area closed by plastic slats.

these are likely "active" slats and only open to permit airflow through the engine compartment when necessary, reducing overall drag significantly.
