if you did cut the front license plate area out... i have a hard time seeing a way you could set it up to look good... its not like an intercooler is sitting there... it would be sheetmetal..

I've seen it done on C5 Vettes and they use a fiberglass insert in place of the front plate cover that turns the opening into a big air scoop. Looked pretty cool to me.
