here is my new baby:
Here is the lower grill before
during
and after grill block. I used some scrap fiberglass material i had laying around from remodeling my bathroom. Then i painted them with some black plastikote paint i also had laying around. I love doing things for free or cheap. Those are by far the best mods!
You cannot see it in the photos, but i also blocked most of the upper grill, except the the corner where the turbo intake is. Gotta make sure to keep an eye on engine coolant temps. You will also notice i did not block the lowest grill. I read somewhere that leaving that one open is enough to keep the car cool.
I will consider adding rear wheel skirts if the benefits outweigh the uglyness!
