Ok that's cool, I just wondered because his car does have the bellypan.

I have already blocked the upper grille, that was my first mod. The engine temp changed little to none. There are just some openings in the lower valence, I covered most of them once and didn't notice a difference in temp either. So I think the full nose should work fine that way. If I have to I could put some small openings in the bottom similar to what's in the valence now.

My Celeb doesn't have that black airdam. But I know what you're talking about because my 6000 wagon has it. My 2nd Celeb mod was an airdam out of scrap aluminum siding. By now it's getting rather beat up. On my 6000 wagon I put an airdam out of lawn edging, that has taken a beating and still looks like new, and I thought about putting lawn edging on the Celeb. Maybe around the bottom of the nose I could put lawn edging so it keeps more air out from under the car.
