I recently bought a badge less grill and went about taking the bottom one out to spray black but now won't back in haha. But I like the look better without, what's your guys opinions?

I'd be sticking it back in unless you want to spring a leak in your radiator from stones and road debris.
This. You're just asking for trouble.
It is not just there to make it look pretty. The radiator is probably showing behind it, the grille helps protect the rad from damaging debris. Swearing a lot and refitting it is better than a new rad, or worse a seized engine when the rad lets go.

Meanwhile the flying rocks won't care that you intend to cover it again next week. They'll still come at you. Good luck.

So right under the bumper where the splitters at? It's just the middle part of the grill doesn't want to pop in.
Each to there own opinion, looks meaner

yup then you can stretch it enough to fit the grill
How does that let you stretch it? Haha and did you have the bottom grill terror too?
When I bought my grande it was missing this grill and to be honest the holes in it are so big it's not going to stop much, only the bigger rocks and boulders
That said I replaced it and found it is very hard to push back in, I knocked it back on to its clips with a drift and a hammer being careful of the paint

Yeah it's just for that extra safety I guess. I'll be giving the method where you take top grill out, place one hand through top grill to stop the bumper from flexing whilst pushing the bottom one in
