Any opinion if i should block the top grille or bottom? using lexan or coroplast?

or block neither?

i am really stuck on this.

i'm thinking that if i block the bottom, more air will get caught in it's pocket, then flow up a bit and right into the top grille with more air getting under the car.

BUT if i block the top one, more air will flow over the car, and less under since it will enter the lower grille and scoop up into the radiator.

does this sound right?
