If not, you could do a partial or even full lower grille block, depending on cooling location/requirements of the electronics.
No active shutters that I know of. Just a fake upper grill. I'm not sure how much I could block of the lower grill but I doubt the 13 kw I normally require on a flat road builds much heat. I use maybe 50kw of the 110 kw available so I could probably block the entire lower after summer cools off next month. Maybe I'll try it soon just to see what happens when it gets too hot. Then I would know what to look for when modding
