Re: plastic panel in front of radiator
All the plastic panels surrounding the radiator are there to funnel air where it needs to go (through the radiator). The stock fans work very well. Why change them?

Re: plastic panel in front of radiator
Without the big plastic baffle, running from the front edge of the under-bumper opening, to the top of the radiator, the air flow isn't going to be directed through the raditor. The air will enter the under-bumper opening, and can bypass around the sides of the fenders and over the radiator, reducing air flow, reducing cooling performance. There are better ways to save weight.
