Yeah I took my first one to the body shop. And I wanted them to remove the molded grill, and remove the license plate frame box + install and paint. They wanted $1,200!!!!! That's not even including the $300+ I already paid just for the bumper! So I figured hell with it, then I went and got the AIT version with grill already not molded and no license plate frame, and they only charged me $450 for paint and install.

That's why I recommend AIT because no license plate box & no molded grill.
Do you remember how much all of your custom work cost?

^^ looks like non-removeable.
I would ask them and tell them you want to put different grill on.

But to me, looks like it's not removeable
