Air control

I was wondering what everyone is using to control the air coming in the vents in the bumper. It's cold as hell up here and I need to plug up the openings to keep the air from coming in. I know it sounds odd but it's either freezing my clutch fluid or shrinking the clutch down around the input shaft cuz after a few min of driving my clutch pedal gets way stiff. I just don't want to do the ghetto cardboard trick cuz well it looks ghetto and I know I've seen the cover for the brake duct vents but I was wondering if there was anything for the main holes in the center. Thanks ahead for the input.

You may have water in the fluid which is freezing. Flush with fresh fluid 5.1 or better.

Yeah I have some ate type 200 and a motive bleeder coming in in the next couple days, I'm just not 100% that is it cuz I've flushed the fluid 3 times in the last month but I used some cheap napa brake fluid so it might just be the cheap crap. But even so when it's neg 40 f out plus windchill of driving the car doesn't like it so much so I will still need some kind of cover. May just have to fab my own.

-20f here this morning and many days of the winter. No issues with clutch at all but oh man those brakes squeal (scream) loud enough to keep the pedestrians out of my way!

Yeah I had to put ceramic pads on cuz the ones I had were squeeling too loud in the cold. And idk about the clutch just flushed with the ate type 200 today we will see if that got rid of the issue. But I def wish they hadn't outlawed super blue woulda made life easier since the old fluid was only couple weeks old. Hard to tell if I got it all out
