Sure you can. That grill is just an insert and is removeable. As a matter of fact, you have to buy it seperately anyway. I'm sure your body shop can install a mesh grill in it's place.

I personally love the way the factory grill looks on my 97. I think its very classy.
However, I have seen what you are looking for available on Ebay.
I wouldn't do it, but thats just me.

oh that's what you mean.... Wouldn't cutting that part out leave little rivet holes?
I know some sc's have a plastic peice that fits in there, perhaps cutting the "cross" part out on the bumper and using the piece from the other type of bumper will work?
