Your work looks good!

It is also the mirror image of what I did to my truck. I blocked the two side openings and left both the upper and lower center openings open. I also stuffed pipe insulation between the grill and bumper to fill that gap. I also covered the openings for the lower fog lamps, since I don't have fog lamps. But my temp rises to 212 degrees pretty fast most of the year and the electric fan kicks on more than I'd like.

But, then again, I live in Florida and it is obviously a bit warmer here.

The radiator doesn't even appear behind the two side openings. It is just body sheet metal behind these openings, at least on my truck, a 2.3 L. I don't see that these openings help cool things much and feel they are probably just there for looks.
