I'm not sure the extra surface area is going to solve all your problems. I would start by making sure that all of the air coming in the front cant go anywhere but through the radiator by blocking areas where airflow can go around the IC and radiator. Then maybe vent the hood if you still have cooling issues.
Also your headlight intake probably isn't helping in the cooling department. By letting that air into the engine bay it's increasing the overall air pressure resulting in less air thru the front of the car.

So I would say uncut. Because if you are overheating, I don't think that will fix it.
