One thing I would suggest about a "stealth" block, is that you be careful about the placement. Keep in mind that the idea is to force the airflow up and over the car. It's not to keep air from getting to the radiator, although that is generally what is going to happen to some extent. So keep the block as close to the grill as possible, and away from the front of the radiator as much as possible, so that even though you are blocking off the airflow, at least some air will be able to get to the front of the radiator.
