Never cared much for the overriders/nerfs in the front grille. If removed, is the splitter one piece, suitable for public display?

 

IMO, no. The chrome splitter is fitted behind the overriders so when you loose them, you'll have two major dips in the straight bar.
You could possibly find an 04-06 bar that actually continued in front of the overriders. But I think they have a gap behind to fit the overrides.
Loose the overriders and bar and go with a mesh grille!! I HATE those buck teeth! They remind me of Mater in that movie CARS!!

 

I rather like the 3 piece mesh that comes in the earlier R cars, overriders and all.

 

+1

 

For me the mesh is as bad as the bucked teeth. I prefer the original E-type look.

 

Then your best bet is e later chrome strake. But you will also have to remove the nose bumper and remove the aluminum metal over riders that are under the plastic ones, then re install nose.

 

I kinda like the stock setup - it's reminiscent of the E type in my eyes

 

If you check out Adamesh, they have a strake and badge in chrome similar to the e type. Maybe you could use it? Looks too tarus to me though.
I actually like the bar and teeth gone and left open! Very aggressive. Still have to remove aluminum over riders. PAIN!!!!!
