So I still need to figure out a way to get some air to the radiator, i just want to control when and how much 
what are NACA openings?

I have gotten use to people looking at my car from the boat tail, this just adds spice to it |
NACA was the National Advisory Council for Aeronautics,precursor to today's NASA.
They developed the' NACA submerged inlet' which offers a way to harvest air from outside a body and bring it in with very low drag.
If you'll GOOGLE for it in the 'IMAGES' you should see a number of examples.
I found the forward portion of some AUDI engine cover laying in the street in Denton.It has three NACA submerged inlets in it.
