Would removing the front valance increase air flow to the oil cooler? Mine is this style.

Also be aware that the really low spoilers will greatly reduce airflow (cooling) to your front brakes. I just learned that the hard way last weekend at Laguna Seca. I haven't finished my cooling ducts yet and lost brakes after ~20-25 minutes on track. In the last session I switched to a less deep spoiler and went 30 minutes with no fade at all.
