Yup. I think the ideal would be an opening smack in the center of the front panel. I think the opening should be narrow at the top and wider at the base. That is to allow lots of air at top of panel to skip over the hood.
I did mine with a diagonal slash because it's a Volvo so I wanted to mimic the Volvo radiator grill slash logo thing. I'm planning to build a new panel in spring with a larger opening for summer use, it might have an opening that's a semi-circle with curved top and flat part at base. I'll have to deal with the structural issues of a big hole in panel though. Rear stiffeners, laminated up to build strength alongside the cutout.
