Color matched duct tape for the win!
 
Just spruced up my grill block with some color matching duct tape. I love it!

Correct. It is a shade lighter than the paint, but is pretty close. Just a temporary soltution until I make this out of a couple left over bumpers that I have laying around.

is your lower grill block opening in the center because you have a/c too? if you don't have a/c you would be better off having the oppening all the way on the passenger side since the rad is only on that side

Correct. It is centered becasue I still use AC every now and then. Although it is not an issue for me, my wife requires me to use the AC when she or my son are in the car.

Do you have the chin area blocked off, so all the air goes through the radiator? If so, you might even see an *improvement* by blocking off the upper grill -- or do you have it blocked off already?

Yep, upper grill has been blocked off with clear plastic. Will look into steamlining below though.
