Every car I've seen has an upper and lower grill opening. I fully blocked both the top and bottom grill on my Prius in the winter. In the summer I'd open half the upper grill, but leave everything else blocked.

I had Torque monitoring coolant temperature to make sure I didn't run so hot that the fans came on. Only once had the fans turn on while climbing a mountain.
