Default has anyone else done this for cooling? pics included

I was tired of having the flap on the bumper cover flappiong around so i cut it off. No joke, between the vfn SS hood and this mod made my car run 20deg. cooler. Hopefully you can make it out but its the curved piece right in the middle. And i dont have my air dam anymore and it still runs 20deg cooler.

I was getting ready to do that to mine. I was worried that is would cause it to run hotter, but I'm not now.

I took it off. Someone mentioned about not having foglights that theres no need for it since the foglight holes are a direct through air flow to it. I have no overheating issues at all and stays at 180-210 cruising at 65mph.

I ditched the splash guards years ago. And yes you get a nice shot of air through those fog light holes. I believe its the reason I don't have to run a fan on my tranny cooler. The transmission cooler is sitting right in front of one of those fog light holes.
