Possibly the first to do this mod

It would be interesting to see if there is any noticable effect, which I would doubt, given the number of aftermarket grilles out there with more openings.
The change does look very nice!

Yes I cut it from the back.
I did hand paint using a bottle of the touch up paint and the supplied brush.
I don't mind if anybody copies it, heck, that's what these forums are all about! Getting ideas and passing around help to one another
My initial reasoning behind getting an all open grill was to force more air into here...
Little did I know it was going to turn out so nice!!!!!

I love the attitude it gave the car. I was actualy supised how well everything flows with eachother...the chin spoiler, the grill, the wheels, the mirrors, the rear spoiler and being lowered. Now I'm just waiting to receive the SHR lower grill inserts(paint to match), the hood pins, and the SHR quarter window louvers.

I would definitely guess so
after ditching my fogs when I switched to the CDC black billet grill, my coolant temp gauge runs at least 3 to 6 degrees cooler on the highway depending on the weather

Kooldawg6 - that looks fantastic and you just had to come on here and start my mind spinning with ideas Don't mean to hijack your thread, but you definitely started something here! You inspired me to do something similar to the left and right portions of the lower grille. It took me well over 2 hrs just for one side, and it still needs sanding. It's far from perfect, but since it's an area of the car that doesn't get much up close scrutiny I'm satisfied so far. I'll tackle the other side next weekend - this wore me out and my back is killing me!

OK, I recognize this is an old thread now, but I had started a different thread asking if anyone had painted their stock grille.....and someone kindly posted a link to this thread. So, kooldawg6, if you're still subscribed to this, curious if you have any tips on getting the paint to adhere and also how it's held up two years later?
