Keep the grill??

I'm going to be putting on my turbo kit shortly, and I'm trying to debate when I put the FMIC on, if i want to keep the bumper grill, or cut it out.

Lets see some pics of cars with FMICs that have the grill in and out...

No grill is better airflow, but it's not going to affect it too much...

I just want to see some pics of "stealth" and "blam!".....

If ya'll could, please post up your intercooler demensions, from end tank to endtank.

I'm want to use the size of a Drag unit, and I'm keeping my grill(92 civic hatch).

Looking good so far.
