MD -

I only taped it (the upper grille) up last week. Still rolling with that for now and probably for another week or so. I'm taking a longer highway round trip to the airport in about an hour and will be monitoring my temps during that. I'll be surprised if the engine warms up more than that 192* that I mentioned earlier.

When I do go with something more permanent, I'm pretty sure it will be a coroplast shield like most on here use.

I was looking at the lower openings just yesterday and there is really a lot of open area down there for air to get sucked in. I have to believe that I can block off at least the upper of the two lower openings...and then probably the outer sides of the remaining one.

I'm still relatively new here myself, so I'm attacking this stuff slowly but surely.

John
