Any benefit from air straighteners?

This is a little thinking outside the square so feel free to chime in with what ever comments you think might apply.

Vehicles are subject to turbulent air , both from natural winds and other vehicles, as they drive along and with grill blocks the volume of air flowing through the radiator is diminished anyway.

So my question is this:
Is there any benefit from fitting an air straightening device to the car to minimise the turbulence factor of the air flowing through the radiator?

Clearly this is not a priority for car makers but for an Ecomodder it may be worthwhile.

As I said above...any comments welcome.

Peter.
