Yeah, I know, but sometimes this is all we have to work with. In addition to texanidiot25's suggestion, it seems that this would be fairly easy to test. You don't even have to mount it in the grill per se. You can make a pseudo-grill that you stick out the window and measure with some kind of air-pressure sensor. If it works, the air pressure should decrease as you reach freeway speeds. Does that make sense?

PS - I found the old Ford Fiesta solid-state grill from the 1970's :



This is from this book. Ha ha, even in the book you can see that they are specumalatin'
