I recently bought the black ice fine mesh grill from carID and i was also thinking about customizing the bottom grill by removing the grill and the plastic inserts on both sides of the bottom grill and filling the whole area with mesh.. what do you guys think ? is this a good or bad idea ?... would be ok to do this ?

Be very careful if you have autopark and/or ACC... main sensors are behind the plastic panels at the ends of the lower bumper opening... lateral to the OEM lower grill

@BPD1151 is the guy to talk to. I would look up some of his threads / mods and the different things he's tried.

BM is correct..... if you're discussing the removal of the solid plastic pieces on the lower grille openings, simply for cosmetics reason(s), you may want to reconsider.

Particularly if your veh's equipped with the ACC option. But then again, depending on where you live, it might not even be a real, true concern.

What needs to be kept in mind, is premature over exposure of the ACC sensor, to the elements of Mother Nature.

Of course, where there's a will, there's always a way.

Perhaps if you, or someone you know, possesses mad PS skills, have someone fab up a couple of images of what you'd like to do, then proceed from there. :ok:

Good luck!
