With or Without?

Me and my wife have had this argument since I bought the car. I removed the small grill piece in my 98 neon. I think it looks 10X better without it, she thinks it looks like a piece of the car is missing, however, she is not sure what should be there.

LOL. Thanks guys, I've only liked it for a year and a half. Only problem is (and she agrees) that the stock part dosen't look great. I want something to go in there, but I don't like mesh, and the stock part looks weak.

I vote with, but there is a guy local to me that has a really nice aftermarket mesh insert that goes in there that looks stellar.

Made by a huge company and I can't remember the name...

The only mesh I can find is on ebay right now. It looks decent, but not awesome.

WITH. I absolutely hate the look of 1st gens with the grille piece taken out.

As for changing the look, just get a spare and paint it black and put it in there. A friend of mine has a Platinum '98 ACR that he put a black grille in back when we were in high school and it actually looked really good.

For some reason I thought you had euro front markers on your car Jerry, but now that I see you don't, my friend's ACR also had niteshaded front turns with the housings painted black, so the whole section between the headlights was blacked out. I think the stock front markers with the black grille would look fine, but blacking them out would be another option.

P.S. You need a fog bumper and painted door handles in the worst way.

it needs something in there, but not necessarily mesh or the stock piece
make something out of fiberglass
itll be one of a kind

Just like the 2000 model year cars that remove the grill. It looks like CRAP
