Don't be upset by Frank. He's a nice fellow, but often dry and witty humor can come off harshly. He's also pretty wise and a good opinion to help if your question is specific.

I will share my experience; my air dam resulted in overheating of my car, even with a massive hole in it. The solution? Belly pan, especially between the bottom of the air dam and the bottom/sides of the radiator. I think my air intake was dumping straight down instead of going through the radiator. So I recommend doing both if your airdam is very extreme. If it's just a small block of part of your grill (your cars are nicer than mine), you can surely do one or the other.
