Default No Grille?

Anyone drive around with no grille?

I've seen a few around here and I kind of like it
somehow. But I think not having a grille only looks best
on BSP since it would blend in.

I'd mod my grille, but chicken wire from Lowes or buying
the OEM lower grille and cutting it is too much of a hassle
for me right now.

Anyone got pics or opinions?

my opinion? it looks like crap. you'll see all the wiring and your horns and... um.. don't do it.

it'll look like your car's been trashed and broken into. or obviously.. someone stole your grille. (which i wouldn't be surprised has already happened before)

ya, i'm with squall on this one. I have a DIY mesh grill right now, and i don't like the fact that you can still see the crap behind it. No grille would look retarded IMO.

Yea, the grille is instrumental in hiding the uglyness behind it (horns, wiring, etc.) That is one of the many reasons I don't like the RS2 tC. The grille is just a small mesh and you can see the stuff hanging behind it easily. The RS1 has much thicker grilles and is really good at hiding the horns and wiring.

Wow. That looks great!

You have to look at it for a second before you realize it's two bottom grilles! :p
