    My new brush guard requires that i remove the bottom two rows of shutter louvers. Assuming i can bake the bracket fit without removing them, Is there a way to disable them from moving? Will it cause an alarm on my dash?

    If so, would it be better just to disable them from moving or bite the bullet and tear my front end apart to remove the bottom two rows?

    Curious of opinions, bad good or ugly.
    I know people dont take kindly to brush guards so that is not what is up for questioning here.

    More of a discussion on peoples thoughts of the value of these louvers as well best path forward in my situation.

    Thanks friends!
