s4 with cut-out front grill?

I was wondering if anyone has cut the grill out of their stock S4 bumper, and if so, what it looks like?

I want to do SOMETHING to change the look of the front end of the car, but don't want to spend enough $ to buy a body kit, especially on an n/a S4. So, any suggestions?

It's common practice for FMIC's, it's pretty ugly IMO.

Previous owner did it to my car. I dont really like it that much plus it makes it easier for larger object to hit the oil cooler. I'll see if I have any pics.

Previous owner did it on my car. I personally like it, but to each his own.
I have some pics, but I can't get to them right now. I'll post them once I find them.

I wanted the 'look' of the cut out without actually doing it, so masked and painted the area out in black. Looks OK to me. Also some of the grill blocks are filled in from the factory so took the time to cut the bits out to let more air throughto the cooler and radiator.
