Default Grill Question

To achieve the affect of the open mouth'd grill, is it possible to remove the plastic slatted section and finish with a mesh insert? I have never removed this section and am unsure if the edges of the bumper have mounting holes or fasteners. Is it necessary to purchase an aftermarket grill to achieve the desired results?

Default Yes you need an after-market grill.

I have gotten a little used to it, I wish I could post a movie with sound! The exhaust guy is moving his shop and we should be able to tame the beast soon ;-)

Default You have to take the front of the car off, that grill is held in by clips...

the new grill gets screwed into place with self tapping screws.
