Default Grill Delete ?'s

Well Ive seen a few cars with a complete grill delete, meaning that that just completely unbolted the grill so there is nothing there, and it looks pretty cool. I was thinking of taking the grill off my car and I wanted some opinions.

I also wanted to know what you think would look better, just leaving the grill completely off (nothing there) or a mach 1 grill delete?
The problem is, I don't know if the mach 1 delete would fit on my car because of the custom hood I have. The bars next to the light on a GT bumper (Dont know what there called, lol) are a lot thinner than the bars I have next to my lights, because those bars are built into my hood.

You guys think the mach 1 delete would fit? And what do you think about just leaving the grill completely off, no mach 1 delete or nothing?

(Pics below: My car and a normal GT, so you can see the difference I am taking about)

I don't think the Mach I kit would fit your car.

Yea I really don't think so either. The bars next to my lights are much thicker than the regular GT.

But with that being said, what about me just removing the grill completely? You think that would look better or worse than if I left it?
It looks pretty badass on some other cars Ive seen.

take the grille out and just bolt in the running horse, it would look a lot better than just an empty space.

What you could do is get the peice that covers the hood latch and then YEAH I would take the grille out! I had to get one for my car because it was fugly looking at that metal around the hood latch. My .02

Didnt know I could do that without a mach 1 delete kit? Can you explain some more please

------------------

Oh yea and ****, I have a custom hood lach because of the custom hood, lol. I will have to see how it looks without the grill there also, because I don't want to be looking at my elongated hood lach in the middle either, lol.

you just need something like this ... it will bolt up perfect after you remove the grille. They come in chrome or pretty much any color this is just the first one i clicked on.

Where does your hood lift from? It looks like the whole front (the part below the grille) swings up with the hood. If this is the case, the grille behind is probably stock, and the normal grille delete kit would work.

I disagree.

I found this guy's stang on google image search awhile ago, and it looks so good I might just do it myself:
