Ahead of you on the grill. I'm thinkin that the upper grill alone should be adequate to cool the engine compartment. So, I've cut a 1/16" aluminum insert for the lower grill and am halfway to covering it with black vinyl to spruce it up. It's gonna look a little rougher than I anticipated because the grill curves from left to right but also top to bottom making it difficult to get a good fit w/o the appropriate tools. It should work though and if I like what it does to my MPG I may redo it to look better. I should have a picture of it online by Monday.

Oh and good to hear about the Scangage (that it will work with keyoff).
