Default Front bumper grill? Or no grill?

I have the forcewerkz asm style front bumper and was wondering what you guys thought of adding a grill? Not the best pics but should I worry about debris hitting radiator? Not to mention the look of it as well.

i never had a problem not running a grille. I had a CR bumper and lip without the grille. My car was low. Never had any problem with debris.

Ya.. I don't like the look of a grill, but if it protects the radiator from all the crap that gets in there, that would be better.. But I also don't like the look of the radiator since the opening on the bumper is so big..wish I was turbod for the intercooler..

I'll probably end up leaving it as is but wanted to get opinions.

You could try a black powder coat mesh like customcargrilles.com sells. Shouldn't be too expensive either.

Your call to make. Losing one condenser to a rock was enough for me to always run with a grille.

I like them with a grill. But before that I'd fix the driver side headlight/fender fitment.

He needs to fix figment everywhere with that bumper. Little finesse and time could do the trick

yeah i agree.. the bumper fitment could be little better.. i had my front bumper re-wrapped and the people that put it on i guess were being very careful not to damage vinyl.. the pieces that stick up where the bumper meets headlights kind of by hood kinda bugs me..


the driver side fender/headlight fitment was due to a light accident that pushed my fender up a bit.. i should've repaired that before wrapping my car.. maybe its not too late, but im worried bodyshop wont be able to repair it without damaging vinyl.. who knows?
