I can't see the attached photo, but I assume you're talking about the grille in front of the FMIC.

I recently had everything open, installing a new intercooler, and decided to try to open up the ends of the grill. First, I tried to cut/dremel out the diamond shaped plastic filling for each hole in the mesh... Nearly impossible to do cleanly with the tools I have. So I ended up just cutting out the ends that are filled (while leaving the rim of the grille for attachment).
