Default Who ripped off stock grille and didn't put another on?

Hey guys I took off the stock plastic grille about two weeks ago and love the look... I think im gonna fill in the holes and make it look clean but I was wondering if you guys know of some sort of mesh I could put in the holes to make it look better? Post pics as well.

Yup, I've done it too and love the look. I've also looked into putting some mesh screen behind the holes, but just haven't done it yet due to being lazy. There's lots of different stuff (you could even go to Home Depot if you wanted ) I dont know whats involved with taking the front bumper piece off to get behind those holes and properly do that. Whatever you find out, be sure to share.

I did it too and I love the way it looks. Haha, I haven't gotten around to making some grilles either. I just can't believe how much better it looks than the dull plastic stock grille. So much cleaner and smoother.

I would use a billet grille in its place. I think the mesh would look kind or ricey...

Technically I'm supposed to have one, but I'm trying to see how long I can pull this off.

i am running that look right now. but i think i am tired f it, and want a more finished appearance. i am going to go with a SLP SS grille, or black billet with SS emblem. but filling the holes looks great too, i am just ready for a change.

I did what silverghost did...remove stock grille, fill in those 6 or 8 holes and bam, youre done. Sure would look real nice if someone could get two turbos sitting in those holes!
