Default front grill question

hey whats up? sorry for the noob question but im gettin an 03 silverstone z on friday and unfortunately the previous owner cut the front grill out. i really like the stock grill so i was thinking about gettin a used bumper off craigslist and tryin to cut it out and attach to my bumper. i was just wondering if this would be plausible or not.

if not does this grill look ok? so far its the only one ive found that i liked.

any suggestions would be awesome. i only want a black one and im not a big fan of the style of the grillcraft grills

thanx.

Instead of trying to cut the bumper out, just pick up a used bumper and have it painted to match. Done! Or you could pick up an Amuse, Nismo, or anything other aftermarket bumper and have a different look.

When you get your Z look at it carefully. The bumper and grill are integrated. It is one piece.

It looks like that aftermarket grill might use the L-brackets to attach to the original grill. Will you be able to attach it securely?

Other than that, it doesn't look bad at all.

Used bumpers are $75, just buy the correct color after you purchase the Z.
