full splitter and cooling issues...what i did
I've gotten a ton of pms about how I'm keeping the fluids cool after I did the splitter and undertray. As most see I did not cut the bumper like most do with the acp set up. So here's what I did.
Since my car does see a lot of street use still and cooler days, I couldn't have just one system to keep it cool, like cutting the bumper. So I cut out the front plate area and added some screen. I then used thin lightweight plastic panels and boxed in the rad area. The pic can't show it but I have panels cut to fit just right down the sides of the frame to the bottom of the bumper and meets with the rad. I think used a piece on top to enclose the whole area the rad and oil cooler are. When its not 100 degrees or beating it on the track, I just put the front plate cover on and I'm good. I've yet to see oil hit 250 even on the hottest day.

Until I find the need for it, stock has worked just fine. Add enough cooling the proper way and 1000$ radiators are not needed for cars that run 20-30 min at a time

right behind the license plate cover you run into the radiator shroud right? did you cut through that so the air gets to the rad? i can see it in the pic so you didnt remove it altogether.

Took it out and Junked it. Imagine just a big tunnel going right to the rad now
