I wasn't really recommending for or against the mod. Just pointing out that if not being black was your only concern you might want to take another look at the after pic.

I like the look, but my DD runs pretty hot in the Summer and I don't have a big problem with trash in the radiator (just the occasional leaf or bug). I'd hate to introduce even the slightest restriction just for looks.

I don't have that problem with stuff in my bumper but if I did I would take the bumper off and fasten it from the back to keep it recessed.

I understand that it is a necessity for some ppl and, if I were going to install one, I'd give this particular grille consideration (probably with Baer's recessed mod). I'm not trying to discourage anyone from installing a grille, it's just not for me.
