Airflow/Temps question

Hello everyone! Random

I have a question about airflow for Vortech peeps.
I have a poly Kuruma front bumper but I'm thinking about maybe going a different route. For the guys who are running fronts like the Nismo or Inven, or even stock, is there any drawback to not having the large opening in front for airflow? I don't want to run into any overheating issues or airflow problems.

Any input is appreciated!

Thanks for the input!

Did some more research and decided I should just use the kuruma I have, even though the fitment kinda annoys me

Perfectly though? The problem I'm having with mine is where the fender meets the bumper just above where the side markers go in, The front mounting hole isn't in the right place, but the rear mounting hole is, so the bumper is sunken in at that point and not flush

Where did you get yours? My local body shop installed so not certain if they modified to correct anything but it fits perfectly. Only ConceptZ has the proper mold.

I was in your situation for awhile. Finally bought a Kuruma Z.
Before the Kuruma i noticed a big lag before boost would kick in and the car would jerk.
After I put it on both those problems subsided.
