Complete Grill Delete & Custom solution

I don't like the grill. Is it possible to remove the whole unit, and replace it with some custom fitted mesh? Basically, I want to know if it does anything besides being there for cosmetic purposes.

What year is yours?
On Pre_FL i think it is only cosmetic. On the latest FL MY you have the distronic option which uses the star as a cover.
Either way it is definitely possible to just have a full mesh grill for better air penetration

Well Keith got this starless grill made specifically for track days. For show he was using the single fin FL OEM grill.

Nope because of the top part. Our car has a different hood and our grill comes in 2 pcs.
