Tire cooling due to deformed bumper?
Installed a new lip this weekend and its fitment was more than sub-par. I am sick of dealing with bumper lips and even managed to bind or strip one of the screws that is behind the small plates you pop out in the middle of the bumper. Not sure exactly how I'm going to get the bumper if I need to again...
My question is, do you think this is going to be an issue cooling the tires off and end up losing grip due to colder tires. Primarily concerned with lapping days and to a lesser degree autoX, more from a safety aspect than a lap time aspect.
The other side of the car does not have this problem. It is just on the drivers side.

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
Unless your AX/Track is all straight the tire will not be exposed to air as much as you think. You will be in various turn in/out angles as you do the course. In which, the tire is exposed on and off to air.

So I assume that is a round about way of saying "don't worry about it"???
