Default S4 radiator support in an A4?

I'm preparing to install RS4 ICs into my '99.5 A4 and have noticed from photos that the S4 radiator support has more open area on each end, with less material overlapping the ICs and (presumably) reducing airflow.

While I could trim the A4 radiator support similarly, I'm tempted to replace it with an S4 support, if only so it looks neater. Has anyone already done this and if not, is there any reason why it won't work?

Default i did an RS4 IC install on an S4 and you had to trim that support

just trim the A4 one. AKA there is No reason whatsoever to buy an S4 support. The support is very easy to cut.

you'll still need to trim an s4 support.
