it would cost less, be more effective, and unique if you build your own custom radiator shroud and hood louvers that work together as one cooling system. this way the air that the fan brings-in won't touch the motor.. the air passing through the radiator will have pressure pulling it in 1 direction = efficient cooling. this will also benefit downforce character because now you have the entering-air being pulled upward and out INSTEAD of going underneath the chassis and through the wheel wells working against the df and causing turbulence.

shroud and compartment:


louvers:
