That's the hard way

The grille block is a good first mod.
The grille lets far too much air into the engine compartment, which leads to drag.
Closing the better part of that intake is an easy job, and can be done from the inside so it's not even visible. Watch your coolant temperatures on the trials.

Car manufacturers do the very same thing these days.
Huge grilles (see Audi, Mazda, Peugeot, but a lot of it is blanked off on the inside.
