I actually painted on the balcony with that blue plastic cover that you see. I didn't make a mess so she didn't mind. So what do you guys recommend me do to hold the coroplast on the grill fins? I was thinking about using zip ties first, because I have a lot of coroplast and I can always remake if something goes wrong.

Black zip ties. Or black twist-ties.

Nice job.

I'm on my way to test drive with the grill block on. I actually have to get more zip ties. It's coming out better than I thought. I'll post some pics when it's complete. Thanks for the help everyone.

I took the van for a test drive and I liked my results. I drove 50mph and averaged 32.1mpg. I didn't take more pics of when I reached 32, because I didn't want to wreck. I didn't use the AC and I had the windows up. I know this isn't that much especially for the highway, but I haven't been able to achieve over 26mpg at 50mph, so I feel pretty good.

I know the red color for the block may not have been the best choice, but I like it.

I want to do the bottom corners also, any suggestions? I don't think I'll block the bottom intake because I'm afraid to overheat in this Hot Mississippi weather.
