This is my first post so I'm not sure I have it in the right forum.

I am looking at getting a honeycomb style grille for the front lower portion that has a big open area. My concern is what this could do with adaptive cruise control. The manufacturer says that they have not reported any issues but would like feedback.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thank you.

Here is the one with the cutout for the ACC
Lower Grill

I haven't heard of any issues. I don't have mine...yet.

I have the Putco one from Stage3.
It’s been on Maggie for a couple months now and I’ve had no issues.

All good here with my Putco one here too. No issues at all and it looks great!

Installed the Putco yesterday and it doesn't affect the adaptive cruise control at all.

From my google research, there’s no cut out for the adaptive cruise control either ?

thanks for the reply’s everyone!

That’s what I found and referenced above. I’m just surprised it doesn’t interfere with acc. Thanks for your reply!
That is why the opening is there.... there is one without the opening for non-acc models.
