Upper grill block stealth behind the grill for sure, been using the SG to see my highest normal temp first, 83c most of the time hwy, 84 sometimes and 85-86 city, max temp out was 28.

At the dealer I was checking out the Rio, It's got the same new KIA signature upper grill (tiger nose I think they call it) and a lot of it is blocked off, the whole centre and at the sides single bits of the honeycomb spread out are open. Mine is 90% open, just a few blocked at the side. I want to check out an optima hybrid see if that's fully open or partially blocked, it may be an easy swap since they didn't make the exterior different like hyundai did with the sonata hybrid. Since the optima hybrid gets the same economy and the sonata got a partial grill block I would guess the optima would need one too.
