I removed your duplicate post - not sure why it went in the moderation queue. Have other posts you've made been moderated?

Do you know what the username is? I'm a regular reader of both and have missed his posts.

If you don't have grill shutters (I don't remember if the Mirage does or not), block as much of the grill as you can without affecting coolant temperatures.

It does not. However Mitsu tuned the functional size based on transmission -- manual cars have a smaller opening than CVT-equipped cars.
I played around a bit with a 2014 Mirage. Very similar to the 2017, aerodynamically, with the exception of a revised angle to the drag-reducing hatchback spoiler, and the 2017 lost the hard chine on the corners of the rear bumper cover, which were there to promote clean flow separation on the 2014-15 cars.
