Has anyone replaced the front grill?

Hey guys, I've been toying with the idea lately of replacing the plastic grill on the bumper with a mesh of some sort. Has anyone else done this? If so,

I hate that type of gril.

I tend to call it a chicken fence

It tends to look cheapass

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think the front grill comes off, it's molded to the bumper. I could be wrong though.

Even so, they should paint it black...Nothing takes me back to the 90's like front bumpers with mass chicken wire.

Oh, I agree 100% I'm just not entirely sure that the grill even comes off. I know for a fact it didn't on the 350.
