Definitely. There are 2 little plastic inserts, that just pop out from the backside. IMO looks much better with them out.

that would look sweet, but im sure its not cheap. how much to you think a place would charge to paint that for me?

i went ahead and ordered clear corners since they are so cheap and wanted to do them anyway. as far as the grill, is this the one you guys are talking about?
