Anyone driving without the black plastic front bumper grills?

Is it harmful, does the car look better?

No, I meant in the front of the car. It seems like if I took off the black plastic grills off, it would look more Techart.

No kidding. After the amount of stuff that has hit (and gotten stuck in) the front plastic grill on my current car (S2000), I would never take them off completely.

Dude, No offense, but you've posted this same question 3 times this week. Everyone is going to tell you (has told you) that you run an increased risk of putting something (a rock, animal, etc.) through your radiator, and dumping your coolant.
If that's a risk you're willing to take, go for it. If not, take a pass.

Agree, bad for radiators. Save them, each are about $400, left and right side.

Do all the aftermarket front bumpers have protection? That is what I wanted to know, because the photos of Techart and it's copies have these huge openings, I guess they all must come with protective inserts that I do not see in the photos. I was hoping that some of the installers would give me some insight (hence the 3 times).
