Yeah, I may go back to my version 1.0 grill block, which is smaller :



As you can see, the version 1.0 is not as wide. Because it doesn't have the side "wings", it is also less prone to flapping on the sides because it has better structural support. I was thinking that I could even have some holes in it to "modulate" how much I am blocking.

Like I was saying to ai_vin, I want to tweak the springs for now and see where it takes me.
