Leave it in until you decide whether to put in a grill cover. You'll need the OEM grill in place so you can attach the cover to it. I installed the Grillcraft Cover and really like the looks ( http://www.grillcraft.com ).

That's not true. Mine has been on the car for 2-3 years and no rust at all. Looks awesome IMO.

I think it would look good w/ the grill removed. I dont really like any of the alternatives Ive seen. The mesh grills dont do it for me.

I'm very pleased with the grill (double layer powder coat) but I've only had it on 10 months and I live in Texas. Are you speaking from personal experience? Maybe you live in the "rustbelt" and exposed your car to winter road salt?
