I do it with my Insight.

What I use is called "Colorplast". It is essentially plastic cardboard and can be found at sign supply/sign stores, it's prety much free as most will gladly give you left overs. I also poked a hole in the top and took a zip strip (plastic fastener) made into a loop so I could pull out the radiator block easily.

.

'00 Insight "Wazabi" -75,000+ miles
'03 Toyota Matrix - 81,000+ miles
'03 HCH-CVT-OSBM-41,000+ miles (retired 04-10-06)
"I'm very secure with my little Insight, no Prius envy here."
