Looks like Shark gills to me, not a fan of it. Never liked it on the Camaro either and I love the new Camaros. I've read Chevy isn't going to have them on the 2016 model.
As for air flow, hard to tell if the fins are angled out to force air in.
Going through all that trouble I would have figured out how the get 987 vents on it.
