Whoa. I actually don't like either of those. They are cool in a way, but I'd go for a more plain look. If I had to choose, it would be #2.
I was wondering if there are any grilles that don't let air pass though, like the stock one? |

I'm not a fan at all of most of the grilles on eBay, they never ever fit the curvature of the top of the front bumper and since they are open they dirty up your engine bay unless you fab up some kind of shield.
Go for the Open Deck if you like it, OEM quality and the fit is perfect.
Here mine on my BOP xB as an example
I also run a JP Vizage Type A every now and then, I need to fab up a shield for it though to save my engine bay from the dust.

Go here for the open deck grill, now just $179

Grillcraft also makes billet and mesh grills and are probably the best fitting of those styles. They also include a solid metal back plate behind them to block all the dirt from coming in the engine bay. Grillcraft also has them for the two lower grills.

| An extra $120 for a LED emblem is not worth it, just go with the OD and make your own center emblem. The LEDs aren't that bright in it. |
