Does anyone modify their radiator support? I haven't taken mine off yet to verify its OK, but to me it seems like you could get better air flowing through the engine compartment if you made a few mods. This would decrease front drag and slightly improve engine compartment cooling. Are there aftermarket radiator supports?

Do folks put those side fins back on? (The ones that extend into the fenders)

The 'side fins' you are refering to were installed on A/C equipped cars only to better funnel airflow through the evap/rad.

Anyone, anyone??? I was thinking the same thing. My front clip/sub-frame is completely dis-assembled and I still need to buy a new rad support (I pitched the old one, it was junk). I have no idea what radiator I will be going with, but if I went a little larger, I would want to open up the rad support opening.

That would only move the air into the engine compartment seems to me. The trick would be to get the air that stacks in front of the core support to vent out the hood.
