You could do a test of wheel covers using tape, and if it works, then buy/make yourself some smooth wheel covers. You're starting with a pretty clean looking car, with a good overall shape.
The lower outside grills are closed. From the factory. The upper grill block actually dosen't cover right to both edges, and leaves a bit of room open on the right side.

The space between the grill and radiators is wide open, Like. Nothing there at all.

For the wheel covers i was looking at getting moonies from HubcapMike, but he wants around $150 for them, shipped to Canada, which seems a lot for hubcaps. I can almost buy new steel wheels for that. I'm trying to see if anyone around here sells them locally.
