it's all up to you. Personally I wouldn't due to high theft rate. I wouldn't want all those cali thugs to see my FMIC and wanna steal my car. Even though I do like the looks of them, like big ol shiny teeth

I'm inclined to agree. Even though I think it'd be nice to cut the grill to show off the intercooler (that's what I did on my EJ8), the OEM grill hides the intercooler a little.

I'd say cut it, because I think it looks better. Then just buy an alarm.
