Grille Question

I recently purchased the main grille from Street Scenes. When I installed it over the OEM grille, it looked terrible cuz you could see the horizontal bars of the original grille right through the new one. My question is if i install some sort of screen behind the new grille to black it out, will this cause performance problems? Or will it just tear off and/or be dangerous?

You're supposed to pull off the the OEM grille before you install the SS grill.

How do you that? Isn't our grill connected to the bumper cover?

For the '02 the OEM grille is held in place by a few screws/nuts. Not sure what the setup is for the '00-'01 as I've heard you need to do minor adjustments to get proper fitment.
