Grille Block

Post by ab2cmiller »

I finally got around to doing a full grille block on my 2010 Vibe. Used a foam exercise mat. It took awhile to cut out all those stupid hexagons. I only have about a 4 mile commute so I'm not worried about overheating during the summer and winter will be here soon.

Hmmm... interesting (and time consuming with all that cutting)!Plan on doing on on the outside and making it flush with the bumper for better aerodynamics?

Only the diehards up on the slopes on those days, no annoying tourists to get in the way!!!I love me some winter also and I HAVE skiied in -30F with windchills of -80F on top of Moose Mountain at Lutsen in northern MN in 1996. Funny, there was hardly anyone out that day. No lines onthe chair lifts. It was great!!Quote, originally posted by keithvibe »they are only no fun if you're scared of snow... lol I love me some snow.... You got that right!!! I love the 12"+ snow storms.
