I see what you are getting at, but I think it would be beneficial to maybe use some of the openings where the fog lights would go.
If you have a stock kouki bumper with no foglights then I would definitely take some measurements and piece together a kit to your needs unless they have a kit for it already that is the size you need.

Someone mentioned something about engine wear occuring before starting the engine since the system isnt pressurized yet, look into Accusump.
this thread is pretty good too

If you are really into cooling and shit then look into ducting with fiberglass.
I've always toyed with the idea of having a front mount, decent radiator, AC, oil cooler, and ducting for fresh air to my front rotor/caliper.

Edit-
to give you my opinion on that grill, I wouldn't do it just because I know that the air exiting your grill cooler is going to be warm/hot air that is going into your radiator/front mount/ ac condenser.
