Starting ideas for a permanent grille block

When and if winter finally gets to Michigan, that means it won't be too long until the ice is gone and I will be putting my "nice" bumper back on.

I'm trying to think of a good grille block solution that is:

1. Cheap/Inexpensive
2. Easily removable OR invisible
3. Will NOT harm the paint at all

So far my ideas are either put a coroplast block behind the upper grille? Although not sure this will help at all... the upper grille is inset pretty far:



Or build an air dam for the front and put foam weatherstripping on the back so it won't damage the paint... although not sure how I would attach it. The fronts of the sidemarkers have screws in them, and I already have extra-long screws in there to hold on my current air-dam, so that would be one option but idk how I would attach it across the front.

Any ideas?
