Default Danger of overheating with this grill?

Hello Scionlife and members! Brand spanking new owner and first time posting.

I'm hoping someone might shed some insight into this question. I purchased and installed a "hive" grill (sort of an overlay onto the existing grill) and as the hole pattern on the stock 08 Xb grill is irregular, there is some overlap. How concerned should I be? There is certainly plenty of air getting through, but is it still sufficient to cool the engine compartment?

yeah, I know...kind of cheap to buy this kind...I honestly thought it was a direct replacement with top tabs. ..silly me.

Although this isn't the same Seller, this is an identical item:

Thoughts?

Thanks, all...

He's got a 2nd gen, and no, you won't have any problem with it.
