Default how do 4th gens cool? should be an easy answer

I've never actually looked at the radiator on one, but there is no grille on 4th gens that I'm aware of, so how do the radiators get air? is it all fans or what?

They are bottom breathers...the air hits the air dam (the plastic piece that you scrape everywhere), and goes up and through the radiator (and some of it into the intake).

I always thought that the air dam created more of a vacume and sucked the hot air out. But then the FRA mod wouldn't actually work huh...
