Good Idea about the Screen but will It affect your airflow.

Looks like a great idea! Only problem I could foresee is cutting the diamond plate.
That stuff is nearly impossible to cut. .Needless to say a Jigsaw ain't gonna do it.

The Photoshop job doesn't look to bad I can see what your trying to do.
