I decided that the oil cooler may benefit from some better airflow and chopped things up a bit. It turned out well and didn't take too long either.
I just removed some clips and screws (yellow), made some cuts with the Dremel and drilled some existing rivets (red):

You'll see the air cooler exposed as well as a brace. I used the brace to sandwich the wire mesh and added a few extra rivets of my own. It's really not noticeable unless you're looking for it (paint it black if you want to go stealthy):

I had the wheel off the driver's side anyways, so I went ahead and did it as well (although I doubt the I/C reservoir will benefit much ;)):
