Default tiger shark frent fascia

thinking about a new front for my C5 "03" and the tiger shark front end look really nice. my big question is "air flow". does anyone know anything about the air flow through the front with a tiger shark front end. it looks as if the tigershark front end may allow straight flow through v.s. the bottom pick up on stock C5 front ends. any help/leads wil be appreciated.

I had one on my '02. Good kit and it fit well. The under fascia spoiler lasted about a week before shattering on a low parking lot limiter. Ultimately it had a C5R with 427 cubes, 8-10 lbs boost, and 785 RWT & 704 RWHP, a dual core radiator to handle the cooling, but there were no cooling problems with the radiator of the two intercoolers for the Scr, plus plenty of cold air for the SCr intake, so it didn't hurt flow. You can prowl around the Gallery and find pictures of it if you'd like: I posted them sometime back.

thanks for taking time to answer. does the intake air flow go through the front of the fascia or is the air still routed through the under side like the stock fascia? It looks cool, but if the air flow has the same pattern as the stock I will have to think a lot harder about repalcing the stock fascia.
