Intake slat delete? (pic)

Interior Exterior

Q:
Good article on Autoblog about some Lotus event in the UK. But what caught my eye was the Exige with simply nothing in the intake area -- no slats, no scoop, nothing. I really like it. http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/18/l...mmer-festival/
Anyone make a kit like this for the Elise? Yeah, you could just pull the slats out, but I'm guessing that would look pretty unfinished, not all slick and clean like this Exige.
Ideas?

You can find out more about grille removal and how your car will look with the opening empty or with just wire mesh:

I like the utilitarian look but wanted to make sure my oil coolers were protected from rocks. I am not so worried about rocks entering the center intake and then bouncing up to hit the horizontal water radiator.
Now if I could just figure out what to do with the engine cover, I would finally be finished with my car. Yeah, right...
