Sorry for all the questions!

Also the pictures on the post didn't show - showed some kind of "third party sharing disabled" thing had to go to your car's profile page to see it.
Basically you need to calculate the return on investment (ROI) on your mods and decide on materials... obviously sheet metal and the like will cost more than coroplast or tape... I usually gather coroplast after big elections and use that for basically free, and it’s plenty strong enough for most aero mods...

My grille blocks stay on year round but I monitor engine temp with an UltraGauge...
