Need an opinion... Grill or No Grill...

Im moving my stereo components around alittle, because I plan on driving my maxima this summer. Therefor I will be using it as a car and not just a toy.

I cant decide if I want to put the grill over my speaker to protect it or not.

What do you think?

Grill looks much better. for just that reason alone, I vote put it on. I love that grill.

So its safe to say the general consensus is for installing the grill???



Gonna do a few coats of Black Rustoleum on the grill to clean it up first, then I shall install it.

Yep looks that way. I'd install it if it was my car. Then again, it's totally up to you what you want to do. It's your car.

I would keep the grill for protection. You never know the things you might have to haul in your trunk

^Yeah, live hostages, dead hookers, they can do some serious damage!

I prefer the latter myself, less noise.

I think I am going to install the grill ( I was kinda leaning that way anyways)... I just want to put a fresh coat of paint onto it before I install it... Make it all purdy and stuff.
