My though is "no," as the G-n-R is a grip in and of itself, and securing it to the bat with tape should be enough. However, I'd like your opinions first.
Actually, it doesn't mention any item other than tape and a finger molding grip. The GNR isn't the only finger molding on the market and not all GNR products are finger molded.

My opinion, for now, is that any attachment should be under the tape, but you never know.
