Default Cooling Plates

Is anyone aware of anything like this for the G35/350z?



Takes the air and forces it up to the rad from the bottom? Or do the available "cooling plates" for the G35/350z essential accomplish this but from the top down?

Uhhh, but we have a lower engine cover.

To answer your second question, yes.

With the lower engine cover helping to ensure air coming in from the front grille area is not escaping downward and a radiator cooling plate helping to ensure that same air is not escaping upwards its accomplishing basically what that scoop is doing in that picture you posted.

Ya I realize it now, so a cooling plate coupled with the underpan will essentuially have the same effect as that duct I posted above. I just want to make sure there is airflow for an upgraded radiator, otherwise there is no point...

Thanks for the input.

It just adds drag and slows your car down.
