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?

Yeah that's really good considering the one shop told me it would cost more than that just for the modifications and install..

^^ 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
