I've been wanting an upper grill block for the Prius for quite some time now. Especially now with the PHEV kit and a short commute my engine doesn't even get up to temperature on the way to work and its not even winter yet! After seeing
CigaR007's wonderful looking grill block I had to have one for myself. However, There was no way I was going to remove my entire front bumper cover just to make a grill block. Instead, I had recently picked up a great stuff gun for doing some home improvement work. I decided to give it a try for shooting a foamed in place grill block.
I started it last night. I did as CigaR007 did and put down a layer of aluminum foil to act as a backing for the foam. I then just shot the foam in with my gun. The whole process went pretty fast. I was done taping/foiling and shooting the foam within about 45 minutes.
I'll get more pictures later on, but here is what I have so far.
