First mods for 96 Prizm

Alright, so some of you may remember my thread asking what car to get. I ended up with an automatic 96 prizm. I'm pretty satisfied considering I only had about a one week time frame. Automatic sucks, but I got it from an old guy who moved like molasses, so I doubt it was driven too hard.

Anyway, I got 29-30 on the first 3 tanks, bitter cold and lots of snow.


Working on the nut behind the wheel

Just got the tires pumped up

Thinking about instrumentation (see other thread)

Would like to do wheel covers cause mine are rusty and look bad anyway. Best way to do this?

Want to put in a grill block. The car heats up really fast and engine temp gets really close to the middle line even in the bitter cold, so I don't know how much I can block and have it safe for summer. My grill looks like this

Would you recommend blocking the top, bottom or both? Which would make the most difference?

Other suggestions always welcome. Thanks!
