? for those that made a c5 a front breather
How and what did you do to the radiator shroud after you cut away the bottom of the bumper. Pics?

My air filter is like a Vortex. Cut into the radiator shroud. and sealed. Mostly black duct tape
So the radiator shroud is still there.
with out splitter
under the splitter is a home made front diffuser. Made it with 3/8" Lexon.
Bolted to the splitter and the radiator rails. seal up faily well.
the normal rubber radiator air deflector, I cut to about 1/2 of its normal height, and bolted it back into in its normal place.
All the air goes into the radiators and CAI. then back down and out under the engine as normal.

you'll cut the top of the shroud away from the side, and fold it up above the new opening. Then basically you need to make taller "sides" for your shroud.....aluminum works well. A local HVAC can help cut/bend a few pieces for you most likely, if you don't have a brake.
