Looking good so far.

On my car, the coolant temperature hovers around 184F-188F while cruising on the highway and gets up to 204F in heavy traffic. The electric cooling fan turns on at 204F. Took me several trial and error grille blocks to prevent as much as possible the fan from turning on.

I personally don't like when the coolant temp is above 210F. It is too high IMO. Besides, Summer is around the corner and must be taken into consideration when installing a grille block.
