I think it would look very cheap, but it all depends on the job you do and what type of mesh you use!

Not necessarily a bad idea if done correctly. For example, a black plastic mesh type like on the GT3 would look pretty good I think. I'd be open to the idea of putting a mesh grille in the front openings. It would certainly help with keeping debris out of there!

Thanks guys. I was 50 50 with the idea. I thought if done right it would look a little different and maybe good... Like the bentley gt grill looks sharp it would look cheap if it was big black palstic...
