Ok, so my 330 has an oil cooler on it. Well I just ordered an AC mudscreen front bumper (well actually its an off brand but it looks the same). And I am worried that the bumper will cut off air flow to my oil cooler and cause an engine failure. It looks exactly like an AC front bumper with a mudscreen (the one that kinda looks like an upside down triangle). Let me know if you think it will hurt anything???

no you should be just fine man cause a 300ex is not that hot...and even with your mods...the cooler should take the extra heat no prob

yeah thats what i did and they work great, to make it easier i would take off your plastics and make a card board template out of a ceral box first, btw aluminum is best but my local home depot didnt have a big enough sheet of it so i made mine out of zinc so it wont rust, here are some pics

My 300 is set up very close to yours.

I wouldn't worry about the mud screen.. it will actually keep it cooler because there will be less mud in your cooler fins. ;)
