Nick - the simple answer is "no" - that's been the main problem with the TTA front mount. You don't get that nice big grill opening like on a GN.

People have done some things from what I've heard/seen, like try and mount an electic fan(s) in front of the unit (limited space).
I'm going to try that approach.

Also - we talked one time about potentially redirecting the air from the hood vents to that area.

I think Uffe posted a picture of a TTA with the newer type TA bulbous hood. That would open up some possibilities, although is is definitely a non-stock look.

I'm sure someone could make a scoop that fits under that front valance and brings up air, but it would have to be thin and would be very close to the ground.

There was at least 1 TTA person who had one of those IC's that were cooled by the air conditioning unit. They remain semi-controversial.

This is one reason why many think the liquid IC is the way to go, but that opens many debates.

This is certainly one area that is looking for an innovative solution!

Here's some pics of Tony working on the very first Turbo Trans Am front mount on my buddy Scott Mitchell's car.

Yep, should be a long aluminum "spoiler" that bolts to the bottom of the IC.
