Looks great (some closeups would be nice). Does it help with cooling?

No idea. Don't have logging tools and coolant never leaves 7th dot. Oil we'll see, I have to get on a track.

Off the top of my head, new vet, evos, subis, aston's etc don't have issues and all engines are protected water sealed plugs. Also I'm not the first on a Z so no, it will be fine.

I still think I'd want a scoop covering that mesh. Wondering if a combination of scoop/mesh might be something I could get a really good body shop to pull off.

Not any more then the millions of OEM and aftermarket Evo hood guys that drive year round. Engines get dirty anywho and your plugs and harnesses are pretty water tight.
