(open for traffic/low speeds, closed for highway stretches, or anywhere in between)
I used a lever controlled cable (McMaster part# 2461K21) mounted on the side of the center tunnel to adjust my grill block, but a gear selector control cable from an old 10 speed bike would work just as well.

Closed for the first 10 or so miles following a cold start, closed for most winter driving, open for most summer driving after the engine has warmed up, amount of opening depending on outside air temps, engine load, and airspeed.
