In addition to the grill block, there are a few other things people on this site have done (and you can look up using the search function): an undertray (or bellypan) which would keep cold air out of the engine bay during the winter as well as help aerodynamics), engine bay insulation, and duct the remaining opening in your grill to feed forced air directly to your radiator. Oh, and an oilpan warmer!

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
