Alright So I need your help on which direction I should go with my front end.
I have no grill insert because I caught a bird in it at about 80mph and it put a whole through it.

First off this what it is now

Option 1
Buy new insert

Option 2
Delete Mesh and mesh supports

Option 3

Replace OEM with Aftermarket shizzle like this.

i HIGHLY vote option 1.

option 2 might look funny... as if something were missing. which of course something would be.


option 3.... im sorry but i dont exactly count home depot/lowes jobs as mods. i know many people do put that mesh on their cars but it makes me unhappy in pants.


but just my opinion!
 
Back in the day when I had that bumper I added gutter guard mesh to my lower grill and it looked pretty clean, but one day I hit a tire tread that was thrown up by a truck while I was going about 80 and somehow the mesh caught the rubber and ripped the whole grill right and under my car, and now I have a new bumper after going grill-less for a few months. The best way to fill your lower grill, in my opinon... would be to install a turbo and put a FMIC down there;)
