I have seen some cars with license plate screens that look like the front Z06 side screens. I thought these was the steel bumper there. Are there ways to get more radiator airflow by doing something funny with these screens or is this an appearance item only? I have never worked behind the bumper cover sorry if I am ignorant.

They are called Halltech Tunnel Plates, and were made by Halltech.

They stopped making them, but I recently saw a thread and it seemed like halltech made a limited number (I think 10) a few months ago.

I have one on my car. They are very good looking and provide a cool blast of air to the engine.

You might be able to find one in the C5 parts for sale section. You could always post a looking to buy.

or there is a cheaper, more creative alternative...

They are for intake air not cooling air. There is plenty of cooling air available as long as the air dams are in place, the center air dam is taped into position so air pressure doesn't blow it back on its springs, the foam gaskets between the shroud and the A/C condenser are in place, and no debris has piled up at the top of the A/C condenser. In other words pretty much the way GM made it other than taping the center air dam.

If you are road racing your car in hot weather then more air becomes an issue, race radiator as well.

One of the manfs here is working on an oil cooler kit using that opening, I have seen the prototype on their race car and will be running one as well.

LG still sells their version, see LG Motorsports in the vendor listings to the left.
