Been wondering if this would help improve aero vs. just adding a grill block, undertray, and redirecting radiator air out through the wheel wells. The Vette's front end is pretty much closed off (minus brake ducts), and it has a deflector underneath the front of the radiator directing airflow up towards it. The outlet directed back under the car. Would creating a setup like this be worth it? I've got an MR2, and the front end is very similar (minus the radiator inlet), and the radiator itself is set up at the same angle stock.

Pics of the Vette's setup:
