Let Me See Your Grillz(EP3ers)

Ok sorry for the cheesie title. This really is mainly for EP3ers, but any newer Honda (2002 +) will do for input. I am thinking about putting in behind my grill or maybe fabing up some detachable inserts that would be flush with the grill. My questions are how has your Honda responded to this? Does it over heat? Does your fan cut on constantly? Have you seen results? What are your temps (outside) when you start blocking? Is it conterproductive if your fan cuts on a lot? EP3ers I think an easy plastic piece could be made to fit in the upper part where the Si is, any thoughts?
I am thinking of taking my bumper off and making something that would block off air from behide the grill, just for atheistics. I wonder to if I was to leave say a few inches by a few inchs open if I could see results with say a 90% blocked.?!?!
If you have any pics of mods I would love to see them. Or any comments. Hopefully I will come across some more as I search. Thanks again all
