Default 993 NB front grill thoughts

I ordered the RS splitters for my car. Thinking about removing the front bumper grill.
the only picture I found was the one on the blue car. I think that is Bill’s who is one of the 993 gurus if you don’t know him.
thoughts and more pics please?
thanks

The only good looking front end is the one found on a 2S, 4S or Turbo....

Well when you ask for opinions what do you expect to get?

I think the NB front end looks better with the grill in place. The TT bumper cover upgrade is a big improvement over stock of course but not everyone can or wants to spend the $2500 plus on the upgrade.

i think it looks fine with or without. The bigger bang for your buck is to get rid of the bumperettes.

Spending $$$$ for a turbo bumper is out of the question. I don’t think it makes the car look better to begin with. Let alone being worth $2500.
That much cash could get fender flares which is in my list.
I agree with the bumperettes. That is in my to do list.
I think that blue car above looks as good as any. The no line/grill on the bumper looks good. I wish there were few more picture from different angles.

Its bizarre how the yellow headlamps look so good on BV's car and they look like a raging case of hepatitis c on white ... I know you were talking about wrapping the car so I wonder if that would make a difference?

Damm Bill,
That car is nice from every angle. It actually was one of the cars that inspired me to get a 993 to begin with.
Got few more goodies ordered For my car and should be looking much better inside and outside soon.
I do like the no grill look. Thank you for the additional pictures.

Here is the RS splitters and with the stock ones...
