I received my stretch mask to keep bugs and bits iff of my GS' front end. I didnt realize that I could not install it due to the previous owner installing mesh grill covers. Now Im torn between protecting the front end or leaving the grill on. The problem is that it has the opening for the grill and there are clips that need to be fastened there. Im assuming the narrow body mask (with no hole) will not be wide enough. Any real fixes for this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You don't need no stinking mask!! Just wipe your car down with detail spray after driving.

No bugs on my GS after road trips!!

Having your front bumper repaired for rock chips is way more expensive the that grill thing...The only thing the mesh grill does is keep your engine bay cleaner than it would be without it.

Thanks thats the side I am leaning towards I need to install a curb sensor as well and was going to have to snip a hole big enough to feed the wire through the mesh.
