i had to remove the grill. snowbanks and plastic don't mix at any speed. i had to remove the entire grill because it broke along with the pass headlight. so when i replaced the head light i removed what was left of the grill. what a difference in the way the car responds now. so i'm thinking about making a grill that doesn't cover the front of the air intakes. any one seen anything like that on the web, or know where to get a custom grill made? what about a better intake system since the stock fit isn't all that good, especially since it has been around since the late 70's.
