Default More Air

So the other day, i was looking at the front of my car (86) and noticed how long the signal lights/driving lights are.
wondering if i put shorter lights in it that i just opened up 16 inches of “ram air” if i put screen where the light was?
currently looking for a shorter light to fit in that spot.

There's an expensive air intake system (forgot name) that utilizes the front license plate cover area to pull air into the intake. Search for this.

There is no evidence that stock C4 suffers from lack of intake air. What problem are you trying to solve?

Probably won't help and may actually generate nose lift at speed depending on how it's flowing... I'm curious, what are you trying to solve. If anything the better solution is simply to open up the louvers on the side. The intake opening under the front bumper is actually quite large and those rather small as far as a path to evacuate air from...
