Opinions needed please.....

Regarding the grill block, last year I used cardboard and blocked half the grill. I had small plexi covers over the headlamps only.



This year I centered the air intake [which is more suited to the radiator's central position] and made them both out of plexiglass. I haven't taped them in yet.




My only concern is the forward leaning angle of the block plates and grill itself. My question is, would it be worthwhile to pull the bottom of the grill blocks out from behind the bumper and mount them in front of the bumper so they lean back a bit?

Opinions needed please.....
