Anyone here have a GE8 with a Mugen grille (or maybe something similar)? I've got one that I bought in a package deal from another member. It doesn't match my paint color so I'm gonna have to pay $80ish to get it paint-matched, but I'm wondering if I should even put it on. The photos make it seem like the openings in the front might be a bit more pronounced than the factory grille and I'm wondering if that might be a problem if snow blows into the grille when my car is parked outside.

Anyone have any experience with this? I'm assuming it's not going to be a huge problem since the radiator will melt it off fairly quickly.
