this plate goes right below the air dam cutouts on the bumper. it is just dead space above this plate that I am covering.it's more for looks but it will prevent me from geting hung up on some rocks. And yes I made and installed it myself I am a sheetmetal worker so......

probably enough air getting in where the ARB air intakes are as long as you don't cover them up. not sure you need air intake that low on the vehicle, but i could be wrong.

I put the holes on my ARB skid plate to help with airflow after I put the Warn winch in.
