Vent holes & grill in rear

My '85 has been dissassembled for a while now to fix rust repairs and repaint. When I took the rear reflecter off the car I discovered that it had been attached with glue

I am reluctrant to put it back on and am thinking of replacing it with a simple grill/mesh, something along the lines of the images below.







The problem is that I do not want a grill with no purpose or function so was thinking of opening up the rear panel with an additional couple of holes:



And then drilling a series of vent holes through the rear crossmember. Maybe something like:





I have seen similar done to 964s such as the DP Motosport one below:



Drilling through the crossmember itself doesn't look especially easy as it isn't an entirely flat surface/box section but and I would focus the holes fairly centrally near the fan.

Just wondering - Has anyone done this? I'd love to see some photos of what drilling and cutting you have done if so.
