Default Front Dams

Removing the plastic "grill" piece, I have the styrophone behind the two holes. Have people cut this stuff out and if so does it go straight through to the radiator? Wanna know before I cut.

I believe theres a big sheet of plastic behind the styrofoam
its the thing that funnels air from the airdam to the radiators and lid

A lot of people just paint the foam flat black so its less noticable instead of actually cutting it out. Some also put some wire mesh in the openings

Here is a pic of Ratio411's car:

It does look really sharp with the mesh there. I was hopeing to increase the air flow to the lid via running a set-up that would pull the air in through the dams. Something like this corvette on the right @ http://www.vararam.com/
What do you think?
