Default Who CUT OUT there GRILL???????????????

I really hate how you can see the stock front fasica behind the billet grills


Why arent people painting them flat black like GMMG does? It looks so much cleaner from the front angle!

LOOK AT THE DICK HERRAL Car it has the front peice cut out

You can see this on the blue on at the bottom and the red one of the top of the page.

y'know being as my car is black anyhow i just put it on and rolled with it but you bringing it up and i too have been pondering cutting out the grill behind my billet grill ever since i snooped out the Dh car in Tennasee awhile back......im almost tempted to do it .........though i also might go with a polished grill instead of my black one i have now. though if i do cut it out i have to figure out how they mounted those bars in so you can mount the grill correctly....... decisions ....decisions..

Well I would say cut around the mounting tabes, and just leave those on will cutting out the rest of the grill...

Or painting behind the grill Flat balck, if you dont want to cut up your bumper..

yea but that would make it flimsy leaving just the tabs (also a would be thief might be able to make off with it easier in that case) if you look inthe pic they seem to have 2 bars going down where the tabs once were......i dont know im going to check it out and figure out something and yea if all else fails flat black is your friend lol
