Haven't had a chance to pick up the mesh yet. Your grille is different than mine in regards to the fangs. The 2016 are molded as part of the grille not the bumper cover like yours, so there was no keeping the fangs in mine otherwise I would have done it. Even in my case wide open like that there is no additional support necessary. I did put the front lip on afterwards though and that more than took care of any concerns about stiffness and support. It would be just fine leaving it like this - though I'm going to do the mesh anyways.
Lousy pic but only one on my phone.
