Default No grill?

I still have the stock grill on my 02 Z and I was thinking of just taking it off all together. Ive tried searching but theres not alot on what the front looks like grill-less, just info about how to take it off. So anyone have pics of a front end without a grill? Ive seen a few but the few ive seen are at weird angles im lookin for some close ups or just a better view. Thanks

It looks so unfinished without filling the holes or putting an aftermarket grill in, I'm not sure why anyone does it.

Well im gonna take it out soon, but I want to wait till I get the front re-painted. That way I can get those holes filled at the same time. Maybe put some screen where the 2 vents are?

I like it better as a front breather. It's much easier to do it on 98-02 Camaros

What would you fill the holes in with? I have had several people say they cant fill in because the will simply fall out. (Sorry)

if its done right you can do it with bondo or bondo/glass. if you are unsure id leave it up to the body shop to do.

BTW i really dont like the looks of whats behind the factory grill. IMO is also ugly to have a billet grill and still show anythinf behind it. Im leaving the factory grill and will only replace with an SLP one if i have extra money ever laying around.

Yeah I agree behind the grill is pretty ugly but with a little help im sure it can look good. The body shop I use said they fill the holes with fiberglass and when its done it looks like its supposed to come that way. And I was thinking about putting some black screen where you can see the exposed grey foam. Im not totally sold on the idea yet but im leaning that way.
