You might want to be careful about this. A week or so ago, but local car wash’s air blowers took the hood off my ‘08. I was fiddling with my phone and didn’t notice. Having experienced this before, I had attached a second retaining strap so the good didn’t drag on the ground, but the loss in air flow across the radiator caused my smart to get very close to overheating. I have an UltraGuage that gave me an alert. Since the smart doesn’t have a native temperature gauge, I would not attempt putting a mask on your car unless you have an aftermarket temp gauge installed.
Thank you!! I worked with a local sign shop to make the "mask" out of a breathable mesh material which still allows some airflow. It has grommets which i used white clothesline to "secure" it, although the true securing comes from some cleverly hidden black paracord to the grill and push bar.
That sounds scary! Fortunately the material is made from a breathable mesh, so airflow isn't entirely inhibited. I am running an OBD readout keeping an eye on temps as well. So far it's been handling well.
Thank you! 🚗
