Not a fan personally. Only grill change i'd ever do is put SS/TC upper/lower grills on.

here's a quick pic of what my custom front grill looks like. sorry i couldn't find my other ones of just the grill so this will have to do. and yes on certain angles it does look like there is nothing there.

funny enough i got mine from canadian tire. its gutter gaurd. everything else i found was too big of mesh and wouldn't work or look any good at all. so i got 5 1 meter by w/e it was for like $15. i have pics of my hole procedure that i did.

all the painting was done by my hook up in the body shop at the dealer i work at. and the mesh is held on by a 2 part hardening epoxy. it's not going no where. i had the car up to just under 200km/h and it held fine.

This is what i did with mine.
They stupid guys at my body shop messed it up they cut it all wrong!!
But that's the concept.
I used gutter guard mesh as well which i bought from Home depot for $1.50 each piece.

I know , the thing is I was driving an old ass honda while my car was in the shop, and this SS/SC driven by a lady passed me and I felt embarrased. So i went directly to the shop took my car and looked for that lady That was why it was not completely done

It is realy hard to separate from my baby. He was lonely in the shop I couldn't take it any more!!!
