Okay, and what I am saying is, don't listen to me and put that 92-94 grille on your car and we'll see how easier it starts.

And by the way ASSHOLE, I am a Ford fanboy. It is possible to be one and drive a Chevy.

@Spencer, the fact you think that having a closed-off grill is for ignition purposes shows your ignorance on this entire matter.

 1. Guys at TTCCNA said yeah, the third generation grills will reduce airflow into the engine a little bit.
2. I can't imagine cardboard is going to stop much more air then a solid grill.
3. I know a guy who made a custom grill for his Ford just to seal off all major gaps.
4. EVERY little bit counts. You guys wouldn't know that.
5. I am more inclined to believe experts and fellow Tempo owners then two Chevy fan boys.
6. I think a new grill would look better then the lid to a storage bin being nailed on. I know, you, Eric of all people wouldn't duct tape, nail, or staple cardboard and bin tops to the grill of your Impala. 
I would cut a piece of cardboard, put holes in it, and use zipties to loosely hold it to the grille. or zipties to hold it to the radiator frame behind the bumpershell
trust me.. i know automotive cooling systems. that grille may prevent a little bit less but it will be un noticable in the end and waste of time and cash unless youre going for cosmetics.

I believe you, but like I said, every little bit helps. Your idea sounds good but I mean, at that point, I might as well just grab a '93 grill from a junk yard car and slap it on mine. Will look better at any rate. I'm not doing it just for functionality, so its sort of killing two birds with one stone. So yeah I'm doing it for cosmetics mainly, with the hope of keeping a little cold wind out. No matter how little. Who knows, I might end up still having to put fillers in between the slot in the grill anyway. I'd rather not contribute to the growing amount of ratty ass Fords and trucks with the cardboard and what not.
