Or should I leave it alone and just paint it like this:

I should be getting the kit painted within the next couple weeks..I currently have to worry about dropping in my H22a1(VTEC) since I blew up the H23 on Thanksgiving..

Just looking for opinions...

<font color='#000F22'>I'd vote for not cutting the bumper.. <img src="http://www.illstreet.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;Maybe paint the insert a different color. &nbsp;Say if you're painting the kit to match the car, then paint the insert in the bumper (where the mesh would have been going) a dark charcoal color or something different.

I think it would look better than wire mesh. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.illstreet.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

<font color='#0000FF'>I think robert's idea is good. &nbsp;I HATE those lights in those pictures though. &nbsp;Id rather see altezas at least theyre less ricer</font>

<font color='#000000'>I like the wire mesh look, but if you go the way that Blue Calx said would work too.</font>

<font color='#000000'>It should be kinda fast with the H22..Ive seen like only 2 swaps done from going from, H23 auto to H22 auto..they didnt make auto VTECs in 93-96 (4th gen preludes)...but they did in 97+...I talked to a guy who said his 93 Si-->VTEC, &nbsp;ran a 9.7 with an exhaust....so, I guess that is pretty decent..I have intake and exhaust..so it should be fine..
