A replacement panel with an actual vent opening in it would be nice. The front inner fenders are cut away near the firewall so a vent there would actually help under-hood heat and pressure to escape.

it might also disturbed the aerodynamic flow if it was a real vent.

IMO unless the existing radiator is insufficient at heat rejection, i see no practical needs to increase cooling.

Actually under the panel it's solid fender with only small holes for the panel piece to snap on.
