You can do it i guess, everythings attached though, and if you take off the Honda sign in the grill (Black stuff) then there is no way to attach it to the car. What I did was I cut out everything but what attaches to the car, and then I was going to put grill in it but I left it open.

I used a drummel tool, took like 2 mins, came out nice. You'll know what to cut when you take the grill off the car, just dont cut the part that attaches to the car.

put a grill. Otherwise random stuff from the road will dirty up your engine bay.

Its pretty hard plastic, you can try it though, it dosn't hurt. Worse case scenario you'll need to go buy a drummel Trust me you'll love the tool and find use for it all the time.

its not hard just buy some gutter guard from home depot and use a dremel to cut out everything but the spots for the plugs to go in.
then cut the mesh to the shape, and screw it in

I dont know, I dont think so, I checked out the frame and its ok but then again who am i to judge. Insurance guy is coming tommorrow. If its not totaled which i doubt it is, img onna get a full 99-00 front end conversion along a 99-00 rear bumper and paint the car a grey/metallic color. I'm ok but more important the stupid *** deer is dead.
