Sorry for the insanely long delay in response...I haven't been eco modding for the past 6 months and as such I haven't logged onto this site. Now that I am in an aerodynamics class I think it would be fun to apply some of the in class knowledge to the real world!

Anyways in answer to your question, I blocked the lower grill with a piece of foam so that it was flush (just over sized it slightly and pressed it into place.) It worked quite well in conjunction with the upper grill in temps less than 30F after that the lower block needed removal and after 40F I removed both (temps were hitting 212F after 15-18miles of expressway, at lower ambient temp it stayed steady at 203F)

Have you done any other mods? I'm thinking about making a front air dam and possibly a removable boat tail...thoughts?
