Default Keeping it warm.

Anyone give any thought to engine block heaters, or closing the front grill? Just taking a look at the front today, doesn't look easy to make something that won't show. Thoughts?

I used styrofoam craft board. It is thin styrofoam (about 3/16" I think) with waxed cardboard on both sides.

Cut it to fit on the inside of the grille. I then used zip ties to hold it to the grille. Worked very well last winter.

Its getting to be time for me to put mine back on!

Prius owners use foam pipe insulation. It squeezes flat and fits between the slats on the grille. It does not look bad at all.

I don't know what the Altima grille looks like. I couldn't find good pics on Nissans web site. One or the other method should work.
