Agreed. Start with the top grille. Summer is coming. You'll want your AC in Arkansas I'll bet and you won't want any surprises in engine heat. For what it is worth, I overinflated my tires to 54psi (rated 44) and have driven several thousand miles on them since. No problems. Good gains from lower rolling resistance. Get a scan gauge or ultra gauge. They are worth the money. My significant aero mods are limited to full upper grille block, 80% lower grille block (with ducting), tires spats, and mirror deletes. I regularly got 39/40mpg in the freeway before the mods and now get 51/52 on the freeway. No wheels skirts yet, no ride reduction, no belly pans (yet). Hope that helps. Nice photoshop image too, btw.
