I ended up keeping that diverter flap part because I couldn't find any definitive information online as to what specifically it does and how it might impact air flowing through radiators and intercoolers. I did find lots of opinions though.

That said, just inward from that little diverter flap (looking from the inside of the fenderwell), there is a channel that slopes up. I am unsure what airflow this channel manages but it is oriented in the direction of the brakes. Would love to find some definitive guidance on the aerodynamics of those two features to know for sure.
