Default grill or no grill

I just got my bumper and TTE front lip and wanted to know if you think it will look ok with out a grill mesh or if it looks better with one. If I get the mesh, both the front grill and bumper grills will be matching, I am thinking about just the normal "expanded metal" which is already on the front grill, or going for the "Honey-comb" mesh. Tell what you guys think. Just took the bumper and lip to the paint shop.

Ricky the bumper looks nice.... Your front grill is mesh so it would be matching if your bumper had a grill mesh. Unless, you had a front-mount intercooler, then, and only then, could you get away with not having a grill mesh. In any case, your front bumper is nice!!

Match the grill mesh.

BTW, it seems that someone has jacked your wheels.

Are you going to leave the primer on the bumper? I think it might be a new trend!

I think too think you should add the same mesh as the grille...unless you get a Intercooler like Kimo said...
