I finally mostly finished my radiator ducting and reinstalled the bumper cover. What I did is I cut sheets of plastic out of an old storage bin I had and cut them to fit tightly between the radiator support, bumper bar, and bumper cover, which was actually a huge pain since it needed to be cut pretty precisely to fit tightly enough to stay in place without being so tight it bends or breaks, but I got it done. I still need to use some Gorilla tape to seal the little gaps and some expanding foam to fill in the ends of the hollow bumper support bar so air can’t escape through there. I also need to get a piece of foam to seal the top of the upper grill to the top of the radiator so air doesn’t go over the radiator. This solution certainly isn’t sophisticated, but it should be effective. I feel pretty confident that I now have a more effective cooling system that creates less drag than it otherwise would have. I’m also moving my trans cooler to the back so it isn’t blocking and preheating the airflow to the condenser and the radiator.
