Not a stupid idea. Upper grille blocks from my following of others experiences along with my own seem to be more effective. If your in a cooler climate it's a great idea. It will reduce warm up time immensely. Also really depends on your vehicles. Time of year may also dictate whether u can use it as well if your in warmer climate. Always make it easily removable and have a way of watching your temps other than the dummy guage on the dash. Right now where I live temps are in the 70s by 10 am typically. Been in the 90s and I have had no issues with my grill block. That in itself is due to the fact I only did a partial block. Will do more in winter months. Anyways vehicles are developed to be able to keep themselves cool in the worst case scenario. Like driving up a 20° grade in death valley pulling a trailer. Maybe a bit excessive but you get the idea. If your driving ecomodder style you should be able to get away with at least a partial in any climate.
