Anyone had successful results opening up the front bumper some more to increase airflow ? (While keeping decent practicality for daily use/esthetics) ?

Rivets and silicon for a glue.

Better than nothing! The other thing I’m considering is moving to redline 50WT for the summer…
This is really good to know. I winter daily this car and the knee-high snow storms are going to keep me up all night if I had vented my hood.
