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.
