My two cents

I read all five pages and found lots of interesting stuff. Here's my thoughts. I'm assuming this mod is for the boat tailed vehicle pictured, therefore venting out the back into low pressure area ain't happening.

Given the time and talent I would close off my fan shroud and vent that air only. Leave the gills underneath because there will still be an air exchange w/ the engine compartment but vent all that you can capture from the radiator flow only.

This captured hot air should be ducted to the wheel well, but more specifically right behind the tire close to the level of the vehicle floor. There is a low pressure area there that some fill with other types of aero mods. This would be a hot air aero mod.
