Abstract
A winterfront of the present invention is adapted to fit over the radiator grill of a vehicle in order to restrict the flow of cold air through the radiator during cold weather. The winterfront is comprised of a molded ABS plastic cover which fits over the grill of the vehicle. In one embodiment, the winterfront includes a plurality of transverse ribs with apertures formed therebetween for providing the appearance of a radiator grill. In another embodiment, the winterfront has one large aperture formed in the middle portion of the winterfront. The winterfront is adapted to clip onto the radiator grill so that no drilling into the grill or vehicle is required.
