I have had some interesting conversations on here regarding leg room. I am 6'2" and have driven very few cars comfortably, while there have been many stories of men much taller than me loving small cars.

Many people on here have done grill blocks. I always think that I need to wait to try one until I am less busy with school and then get distracted.

Oh, right. I am supposed to stay away from this forum!

Some people have done very nice-looking grill blocks and while one behind the grill would be less effective, it is also less noticeable. Additionally, you could do a partial one.

I think that you have a point about your engine getting enough air, but that should be easy to check. Guys, what would be the best way to do that?

The usual concern with grill blocks is engines overheating. Here http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tml#post349862 is a thread about finding out when your radiator fan turns on.

Good luck!
