awesome!

what did you do to your wheels? I can't tell what's different between the photos. [oh, nevermind... I see you got different rims. I was looking for some sort of blockage haha!]

I got the holes in my valance blocked off. I cut up a plastic plant container and reinforced it with PVC. haven't expanded the grille block yet. I'm surprised with how little it seems to cause any thermal problems. A/C is still nice and cold and the temp gauge hasn't budged. next time I'm at the hardware store I'll be getting black zip ties to replace the white ones, and at that time I'll redo my grille.
