There are 2 lower vents I haven't touched yet. And the part left open is where the top hose comes in. So airflow hits the hottest coolant first, then hits it again right before it flows out the bottom hose.

To make the block, all I did was buy 2 12"x6" sheets of polycarbonate and 12 spring-loaded fasteners, then made a template, taped it to the poly sheets, and started Dremeling. Then came test-fitting the grille and finally drilling holes for the fasteners in the grille block.
