To me "grille block on a budget" involves duct tape and garbage bags.

I should have known better when I saw whose thread this was! Very nice work.

Have you done one of the post-'98 bumpers as well? I'd be interested in seeing that.

FYI: our driving is of course different, but I find that a 4x6 inch opening on the bottom directly in front of the radiator works fine in my '98 Firefly 1.0L, and my fan rarely comes on. Upper slot is completely blocked also.
