Grille block in Phoneix AZ summers

Has anyone had any experience with using a grille in the phoenix area? I drive a lot for work in stop and go on the freeway and on surface streets. I am concerned about overheating in the summer. I drive a Scion xB and there is no temp gauge so I cannot monitor the engine temps. I will probably need to install a temp gauge if I do this. I am thinking of blocking the upper grille and partially blocking the lower one.

Has anyone done this to a xB and if so were there any gains?

Thanks
Alan
