PaleMelanesian found that the belly pan acts as a grille block (that's where the air coming in through the grille leaves the engine bay), so they're probably an either/or.
Interrupting the ignition coil fuse seems simplest to me. I got Daox's 3D printed shifter switch but am still trying to power the relay properly. It'll happen.
And welcome!

I'll have to see how it goes. It doesn't really melt at 150, more like a hard putty. It might lose some shape though.
Makes sense with the belly pan, air cant come in if it doesn't have anywhere to go. I would think it'd be easier to seal the grill vs the post engine air path though.
Are you using a normally open or closed relay? I would think you'd only want to power the relay when shutting off the car. I also had a thought of putting a short timer with the kill switch so any amount of depressing the kill switch button will keep the engine off for the proper amount of time so that it doesn't come back to life. Could be done with a 555 timer or small micro controller.
