Behind the Aero Grill.

What have you guys done behind the aero grill? Have you dremmeled out the bumper cover to allow air through it? Or have you just painted it black?

Dremeled it, then painted the metalwork behind it black. It's a little bit more work but looks great.

I dremmeled it, and need to find the black spraypaint now. It looks like it will get alot more air over the radiator this way. Or I could route some plumbing to the bumper and have it feed brake cooling... More to come!

Since my car is JB/JB, I didn't have to paint the louver - it was already black. I didn't cut it out since I wanted to be able to put the stock chrome grill back on (even though I doubt I ever will).
