The only problems with removing the grill is that you will have to support the middle of the bumper. As you can probaly see I have zip ties coming down from the big bar and holding up the middle part, also it isnt very easy to attach this stuff.
And yes I did remove the foam, if someone wants they could paint it black but I think its better looking just to remove it and paint the metal bar black considering it will be your car color.

I am really thinking about doing this... what is the grill made of and how did you make it black? Is it powder coated? I tried painting the aluminum vent covers on my hood black and the paint is already starting to chip after 2 months...

Sorry to bring back a old thread. In was wondering what people have used for this mesh grill or any other type of new grill. If you have pics of what you have done please post them.
