Personally, I don't like it. Just having a large hole on the lower front of the grill doesn't look right to me.

Once you cut the two pieces that were holding it in, how do you put it back on?

Yep, I think it looks better without the honeycomb inserts.

Good Job Bucky.

I was thinking that the lower honycomb grills would be the perfet mounting place for an extra set of circular fog/driving lights - the small ones you see out today.....just drill dead center and mount them.

Ummm, put the parts back on IMO. Otherwise you will be out of control and doing the whole 70's-80's thing where you compeletely removed the hood just to see some plastic.....ughhhhh

It's hard to get a good look at the lower grill delete on your car. It would be nice if someone, who has done the same could post some pic's.

I wonder how it would like on Redfire or Torch Red?

I think the car facia looks a bit cheaper and more flimsey(sp?) without the insert. I also don't like to see the rad hoses. Last, that piece is functional according to Thai-Tang.

havent' found the function yet? Been out for over a week.
It's just one of those things that we agree to disagree on.

Both the upper and lower honeycomb panels are there for aerodynamic reasons. If you remove them, you will decrease the ability of the car to deflect air around the car. Not a big deal for everyday driving, but I'm sure you would see a decrease in mileage. Not too sure how much it would affect 1/4 mile times, however.
