Ive thought about doing this because i would like a little more front downforce (already have GTS).
If you properly do the switch over yes, air is diverted through the front duct into the center radiator and then out the vent on the top.

To do it correctly you will also need to get a new impact bar, and AC lines, as none of those parts is compatible. The impact bar toe hook threads don't line up, and the AC lines are routed up high on non-GT4 models.

Another member already documented this including parts so this should help:

I did it myself after measuring, it's a slight downward curve. I don't have the exact numbers.

If you can find the right person, there are templates for this to position the letters exactly. The dealership sometimes has them, and often paint shops as well, because they'll have to rebadge the car after they paint it.

I plan to redo mine when I have less important things to do on the car as the P is slightly misaligned (though probably no one notices except me)

Here's a template example (I don't believe this is the correct one for what I did) https://www.suncoastparts.com/produc...MP981BGTS.html
