I searched but still on the fence about this one... Once it's cut, there is no going back! I really dont want rocks denting up my brand new radiator/trans cooler.

I've also been thinking of doing this, then I saw it in the "Diesel Camaro" thread. I've got the same concerns as you. But I am thinking of cutting it, then putting a stull grille in for the larger rocks.
Tabs of some sort would have to be made to attatch it to a grille that has been cutout, nothing difficult though. Or if you don't like the grille idea try cutting out just the middle between the foglights and make some sort of mesh like the ls1 front end, of course that would be more difficult because you'd have to get it right or else it'd look horrible.

yeah im unsure if i want to dont want a rock taking something out that would really suck i was thinking about puting mesh way back infront of the rad and trans cooler so you cant see it but its there to protect it i dont like the look of mesh at all but it would do the job if its set back far enough
