Something else you could do that I also want to do is use expanding foam to fill the lower grille. Since you'll be taking it off to paint it, you might try this mod. Would be useful to me to hear your results. Someone on this forum--I forget who right now--did this with their civic. He left an opening on the passenger side of the lower grille for ducting straight to the radiator. Painted and sanded, it looked factory in the photos, though he said it looked a little more DIY in the presence.
Here you go.
