Decided to remove my dual coolers from the rear and locate new big cooler up front.
Production car rules will not allow cutting up front sheetmetal for GT style cooling. Think we could fit a big cooler in this spoiler "without" cutting metal behind? Also worried about getting enought flow thru the cooler without ducted exit from cooler. And if anyone know, is this spoiler legal in production class? Attached image(s)

yes, it will work and in fact it works surprisingly well as long as there's some place behind the cooler for the air to go, like towards the bottom. might need to cut some of the FG ... dunno if this spoiler is legal, but usually anything that doesn't extend passed the stock front of the car is OK. that's why some guys run the '74 bumper-tits on their cars, to gain some more useble space in the front as it allows you to extend stuff (spoiler lips etc.) further out ... like on scotts car, a '70 original /6, see pic below ...
