Default behind the grille
can anyone tell me if there is a blank panel behind the is-f grille to prevent being able to see all the messy stuff behind? the isx50 grilles have a blank panel behind it and i'm wondering if the is-f has?

no, you'll see paint over-spray...

it's hard to see in this photo, but you do kinda see parts up close, but the paint is obvious at any angle if it's a light color like mine.

if you put a panel, you'll prevent the radiator from doing it's job properly...
