Default Poll: $30 grille, yay or nay?

Just picked this thing up on ebay for $30....it came chrome so I sanded and painted it black. Currently it's just tie-wrapped on because the original mounting parts wouldn't work due to bumper modifications. The original owner cut out the factory grill area. At times I like the no grille, but I thought this might add something to the car. Let me know what you think:

Looks good. I think unless you have an intercooler keep it on for the most part. Although I do always like to change my look up a bit...

I think the grille looks good, but I would paint the blue tabs and remove the eyelids.

Smile A word to the wise

Estrogen will destroy this sort of thing in a NY minute. Don't ever let your girlfriend drive your car with it on. It needs a zipper or velco or something you can quickly detach it when she takes the wheel.

I may take the 'i h8 speedbumps' decal off...like I said, I've been trying to do little things here and there to change the look of the car. The other sticker is actually covering a quite large spiderweb in the paint that I'm too cheap to get resprayed

I don't think it looks that bad at all, but I like your no grille setup better.

Loving the wheels BTW, nice job on the color choice

Im pretty sure the sticker is more noticable than the spider cracks in paint. lol
Never understood why people did that. Should i put smiley face stickers on all my rock chips then?

I normaly hate grills but given your situation i'd rock it.

Grille = stay. Headlight eyebrows & stickers = remove.

I always liked black mesh. I actually get a lot of negative comments b/c I cut out my 06 grille to put mesh in.
