Looks good, with respect to grill blockers and cooling; the smaller the opening for air too the radiator the more important proper ducting of the air is. With that in mind you should put ducting between the grill opening and the radiator so that the air gets to the radiator with minimal turbulance. the opening in the grill should be about 1/4 the area of the radiator cooling surface. When I did this with my Yaris the temp stayed much more consistant, even though I never had over heating without the ducting.
