Default FRC Foglight Area Mod Question

On my 99 FRC, I have installed one of our supporting vendors Z06 screens. I know this question has been asked, and while I have searched, I have not found an answer to my question. So,,,

Should I do any modification to the stock foglight area to get airflow to the engine bay? I have a CAI, but I don't expect free horsepower here, just wondering if doing someting to that area will increase underhood airflow, create any problems, or help in any way? Thanks in advance. The simple answer would be to take out the plugs that cover where the foglights went stock, but if cutting out or removing the bezels would benefit me, I want to do it. Thanks Again

There are going to be differing opinions on this one I'm sure. FWIW, I cut out my fog bezels and run screens to get more air in the compartment (partly because I'm running LT's and think this will aide in keeping underhood temp down). I run a CAI as well and did the zip tie mod to the shroud.
