Default Over-heating a concern?

So, I bought my grill inserts to help keep a little more heat in the engine area - so I can get into EV a little sooner (or stay longer).

I'm actually thinking that it will make a bigger difference after I've parked for a bit and then start up again. I have a feeling that right now the engine cools off a bit too much and then needs to "reheat" when I get going again.

... anyways, my question is this: do you think I need to be concerned about over heating the FEH if I leave the grill inserts in all summer?

The ones I bought are these sharp looking ones from Cloud Rider.



I'm thinking that I may leave one out (maybe the middle) for summer but does anyone think I should leave another one out?
