Insted of raising the hood in the back, can you just pull the cowl out? I had my cowl off for a few days while I was replacing the foam surround and a hole that somehow formed and noticed that it ran much cooler because with the cowl out.
You could make a cheapo cover for the fan opening out of cardboard and fiberglass and just glue some mesh in place of the cowl to keep pine needles and leaves out. I'm not sure if the Crx's cowl seals at the back of the hood like the Civic though.
Or do like they did on the Simpson's and make "speed holes" in the hood.

The cowl on the CRX is not open like most cars, I was looking at it and there is a seal at the rear of the hood and the cowl is pretty much sealed up.. there are two small holes where it looks there would be no air getting to under the hood .. I think they pull the air in from some other location on the CRX? the cowl isn't like most cars.. nothing can enter around the wiper area.. I think raising the rear of the hood will fix my small heating issue and push air over the wipers too.. also i noticed i should block the opening on the side of the radiator as any air being pushed into the front of the car isnt forced to hit the radiator at this point.. the radiator only takes up half the space between the head lights and there is a big hole going into the engine compartment that if sealed should direct more air by the radiator..
