Default Keeping junk off the radiator

The solution I came up with;

This should at least keep the big chunks out, leaves,grass etc.
I extended the air dam which scoops more air but also scoops everything in the air with it. This was only 3 months accumulation during the summer. Fall is much worse. It is invisible once the car is down on the ground.

No, bubba would have used little strips of duck tape and super glue.
