Are your tires inflated to max sidewall? If not thats a good place to start. Also, a scangauge is a great tool to have.

I wouldn't discount grill blocks yet. I think two other Civic owners are running FULL blocks minus about a 4"x4" opening. It wouldn't take much more even with higher temps. As it is stock you probably have a lot of area you can still cover up.
