Top portion of grille block installed! I used black zip ties, almost invisible and very secure.
Going to get myself some kind of instrumentation for Xmas so will be able to see actual temperatures hopefully.
In other news, as warned here in the forum, mythe bends on my airdam have started to break, so had to remove it. Plan b coming up!
Next mod will be a warm air intake. Looks like the easiest way will be to attach a "collector " to the manifold heat shield and run an insulated pipe or tube over to the intake which is just behind the passenger headlight.
Stay tuned!
