Default Grill cut out or left alone..opinions wanted

What do you guys think looks better...my car as it is(kinda sleeperish) with the grill in tact or without the grill as the other black sol is in the other thread.

Leave it in or paint the intercooler black and take out the grill.

I think either would look good. I presonally would leave it, since you didnt have to cut it to put the intercooler on

I think it looks good cut out, but this hides the fmic a little bit and its stock height and exterior wise, completely stock so i may just leave it

sorry to those that think i should, but I am not painting the FMIC black. From what I hear it cuts down on the cooling and you can still see it either way. One thing i may do, however, is get a pair of black stockings and put them over top. I hear that is supposed to give it that sleeper effect, but not effect cooling properties

I wouldn't cut it since you don't have to. I had to cut mine and I would rather have my intercooler a little more stealth
