Thanks TRK! On the 986 I did have to move the radiator. I flipped the bracket, tilting the radiator forward. I also closed off the stock exits under the car. Not sure if the nose vents are all of it, but my car is glued down at speed. As for cooling, it improved dramatically when the car is over 25mph.
FWIW, I believe the code for a brunette or blonde in the front trunk is M069. A redhead is M071(George Carlin reference).

Excellent, thanks everyone! J.Fro, did you reroute the side radiators flow to the wheel wells also?
Also, what bumper is that?

the bumper is a fiberglass 04 GT3 replica to fit the 986/early 996. I did reroute the side fans to exit into the wheel wells.
