Default New Grille?

I own a 97 3.8, I have no body kit at all, but have chrome rims and after market lights. I didn't do any of this work because it was done when I bought it. Anyways do you guys think this grille would look nice? Does anyone here have this grille? I read when I searched the forum that someone had to remove there fog lights to have this fit? Is that true? If you look closely here it shows the fog lights still in place. I don't want this if I have to remove them. I personally like it, but I am asking because sometimes I like something and then I don't a few months later (what was I thinking?) So, I'm asking for a 2nd,3rd,4th etc. opinion.

By the way the part is only $17.95 which is why I am tempted in the first place. Custom-Fit Billet Grille is made from aircraft-grade billet aluminum with a polished finish.

you don't have to take your fog lights off.

Thanks guys, for those of you that have it. Is it reversable? I found these dircetions.


Remove the factory black center bumper insert by bending it upwards from
the bottom and clipping with side cutters the bottom plastic attachment studs.
Bend it another 45 degree up and clip the upper attachment studs and
remove.
Run a line of 1/8" tape around the inside perimeter of the cavity on black it out with semi-gloss black.
Center the grille in the opening and mark and drill with an 1/8" bit for the holes in the four tabs.
(4) Secure with the fasteners provided.


The part about cutting and drilling scares me.

Reaper I'm looking forward to a pic, thanks ahead of time.

I have one installed. I didn't do any cutting either.

I'll post a picture up later today.
