The potential problem is that, assuming the rest of the bay/hood is stock, there might be so much air pressure from the backside of the radiator that any vent you cut down there ends up flowing outwards and screwing that up. I really have no idea, all you could do is guess/test. If you had a hood vented to exhaust the pressure from the backside of the rad fans upwards (as is being discussed endlessly in other threads currently) the pressure would be a non-issue, but then you'd probably have plenty of airflow in/around there without cutting any new slits anyways.
Either way, I don't think it would be a good idea in any scenario to cut any slits/holes in the front chin spoiler.

Oh sorry -- I wasn't clear at all on that.
I meant, "to cut slits in the under panel", not the chin spoiler, but the rest of your explanation is pretty much what I figured: either a crap shoot without testing or will do no additional cooling.
