    This is my take on the mod. (hopefully pic uploads) I used a dremel, and only removed the centre 9 holes - trying to make it look factory and leaving the outer hexes filled it. I de-bured it , and took extra time with a tranny pic trying to make it look perfect.

    If you are worried about water you can drill some holes in the bottom of the lower panel below the intake. If any gets in it will drain right out. Also lets some extra air in. That's what I did on my GT. The block off panel I made was also long enough to cover the lines behind the grill.

    Epic thread guys, and very helpful indeed... Here is my question though, and it seems this has not been addressed here yet... Obviously at this point it seems there are no ill effects with hydro lock for those using a rotofab and the like, but what about those using a true in the fender cai like a new era or opg? I'm buying an opg used this week from a guy locally at a grrrr8 price, and would like to get more air to it, but once again, living in the north east I'm concerned about snow and rain.

    Cheers,

    A friend gave me some fine steel mesh that I put over the inlet. Another option would be a filter cover like K&N sells.
    Or a sock.

    I attempted the mod today. I started the mod by drilling out the centers. Having limited tools and patience, it was a PITA squaring off the holes with dykes and a single razor blade. I buggered up some of the outer slots so I may buy another grille and try it with a grinder or something. The hardest part of getting it off was around the fog light. That took a while to get loose.
