Sean,

You should probably block off the opening in the "chin" area, between the spoiler and the base of the radiator. Then, all of the air that enters the (partially blocked) grill will go through the radiator. This will helps the temps stay below the 204F when the fan comes on, and you can get by with a small opening - mine is about 4.5" x 15" in the lower opening only. The entire upper grill is blocked, and my temps are fine.
