Center Radiator Question for X-51 or Tip owners

I just installed the Center radiator in my 06 C2S.

I have a question for X-51 and Tip owners.

Does your bumper cover have holes or vents underneath the Radiator for the HOT air to go directly out the bottom?

It sure seems obvious to me but I am not an engineer that there should be some way for this hot air to vent. In the parts book on line I noticed several different part numbers for front covers with no specifics.

Mine has nothing and is solid. So I am thinking I should be cutting a hole but the TSB for the x -51 does not address this issue though it talks about installing the Center Radiator.

Thanks to the members of this board and Loren taking the Bumper cover off and mounting the Center radiator was very straight forward.

One additional tip I have; To limit the loss of anti-freeze I clamped off the lines in the wheel wells with wood-wood clamps- 2 each side. Worked well. Filled the system back up got her up to 175 degrees and no problems.

There are holes 4 to be exact. Took a ride to the Dealers and checked out a 911 w/Tip.
