From the research I did, the OEM oil filter housing for the cars with a factory oil cooler do have a thermostat. It is the unit that bolts onto the oil filter housing which the heat exchanger cooling lines connect to. Part 9 in the drawing. Thermostat housing with thermostat P/N 11427573212. I'd bet there is a OEM fender liner with vents available or you could cut vents into the one on the car.
