If you do cover with cardboard I'd suggest leaving about 30-50% uncovered.
If you want a clean look paint the cardboard black and put it behind your grille, it only takes a minute to take it off.

Just poking on the 'net and found this (not as tacky as a cardboard cover but the cardboard is cheaper):
