The grill block at the moment, isn't permanent and most likely will not be. Grand Cherokees run at a pretty high temperature, so I definitely do not want it to overheat considering i'll be driving a long distance. After I get the Jeep running again, i'll do some testing to test which configuration works the best. Overheating probably will not occur in the very cold weather that the winter will bring, and in that case I'll try all grill blocks in to see if it alters my mpg. Most likely the center one will not be in while driving to add some airflow to the engine. Also, everything will be painted black to be less conspicuous.

I picked up some screws today that were left over at work, so I'll begin screwing the front of the belly pan on. It'd be great if i could find enough materials to make this 100% recycled.
