Thats actually what I was thinking. . . If the heat retention gets too high during the summer it will crucify your engine(V8? I think the 98 came in V6 as well. . .not sure off the top of my head.)
Some form of fine mesh might actually be a good compromise. Take mesh and put it over a candle put your hand there and then remove the mesh. Should allow enough airflow during the summer to keep you from overheating but on the same note(as long as you can park nose protected from headwinds) retain heat. Kind of a maximazation problem? Too much doesn't work for the summer too little kills you in the winter. I went with very fine mesh to cover the grill on my nose, seems to work alright with my tiny 1.5 inline.
