I assume you’re referring to the aero kit grille? I think all the OE grilles have their place.

Personally, I never cared for the blacked-out "honeycomb" grille look of the aero.
The rest of the areo stuff - yes - but I still like/prefer the look of my factory, pre-facelift body color "louvered" grille/slats.
