Our vettes are actually "bottom feeders" and get airflow from the holes underneath the grills. If your cooling system is in good working condition you should be able to completely block off the grills in front of the headlights to help prevent lift at higher speeds, and not have any cooling problems.
The ducts are actually for brake cooling. The rest of that setup is here:

Thanks!
I know the look isnt for everyone. It does give it a much more aggressive look, which might be too much for some.
I plan on leaving it black though. There are a bunch of other black things on the car that it goes with... mirrors, side gills, hood vents, gas tank emblem, interior, and dark window tint.
As far as doing it to a chrome bumper car, it wasnt anything special to begin with, and I dont plan on selling it ever. Some of you would cringe at some of the things Ive cut up and modified on this car. I dont want it to be just another red chrome bumper car

Looks pretty damn cool....if you want to take it off for a couple of weeks I can skin it in real carbon fiber for you...or make a mould and I can see about recreating in CF.
