After having read the lighting tests that seem to show about a 50% reduction in output when a lightbar is placed behind a grill, I couldn't help but wonder why people don't dremel out a row or two of the Raptor grill. May be a stupid question as I am not all that mechanically adept, but the grill seems to be made of a hard plastic that doesn't seem too difficult to cut. If an opening was cut, would the remaining sections of grill collapse? Or droop? Or become structurally unsound?
Or is cutting out a section of the grill considered a Raptor community cultural faux pas?
Given how many Raptor owners there are, I know I can't be the first to have thought of opening up the grill for light output. I just can't find a thread that speaks to why it isn't done. Please tell me why this is a dumb idea.
