Default Grill to cover space in Front Bumper

Who makes a Screen/Grill to fill the space in the center of the front Bumper? I'm kinda concerned about putting road debris into the cooler. Did Ford not put one there for a reason? (restrictive air flow)

I found a nice looking grill insert on Ebay for $50. It was made specifically for my bumper and it took all of 10 minutes to install. The louvers are spaced far enough apart to let in plenty of air, so there shouldn't be any issues. I even took to it to my dealership and the service manager said Ford should make these available, because it would keep rocks etc. out to protect the CAC.

But he also said to keep a screwdriver handy in case I ever had a breakdown so I could take it off to keep Ford from trying to void any CAC claims I may make!

Default Here is the Wagner Tuning version....

...on my 2013.

The grille is stainless steel, powder coated texture black and the pattern is a pretty close match to the FX4 grille.

All these grilles look great. It's really hard to find a nice looking grill that has a clean hole for the oem block heater plug.
