Why not copy what AndrewJ did with his Civic, but have it operated by a servo from an R/C plane ?
The signal to open or close the mechanism could be temperature controlled to trigger at a certain temperature .

It seems as though an easy way to do this would be to just wire into the power source for the electric fan. As the engine temperature rises and kicks on the fan, this would also send the signal that opens the shutters .
