Removing the front grill?

owi1kenobi · 06-21-2012, 10:04 AM

Will it look cool if i remove the front grill using a dremel and leave it with a big mouth with the radiator exposed? Its much easier to clean my cold air filter but will it look good?

I'd like to see more people who've done this. Looks good on Triples.

it actually looks cleaner than with grills , i wonder if i need to paint the fang.

The tow hook would be the biggest problem.

The black tow hook covered it nicely on Triple's.

I would either paint it black or cover it somehow.

Cutting out the grill and having a big sliver chunk of metal hanging out wouldn't look good at all IMO.

However, if covered up, I like the look.

Quite a few people have done this, some to more extremes than others. I think I will be doing this soon to show a little more of the intercooler.

Yeah I don't think I like it with the top removed... Anyone got a picture with it done like Triples and a FMIC?
