Thank you everyone for the suggestions.

Doug77, can you please explain what that is, where you got it and install method?
I'm looking for a nice looking easy solution.

Here is the grill I used, scroll down towards the bottom to see select sub model, style and color. Super easy install, no drill and looks factory. Kind of expensive for what you get but great looks and no drill make it worth it. I believe this is the same one Doug77 used but I could be wrong.

Got mine off ebay for $41.95. That was about a year ago, so the price may have changed now. Was going to try to send you a link, but can't get it to work. Its called "Gloss Black Bumper Grille. The seller is "Sleek Auto Accessories"

It attaches to the factory brackets inside the opening. Very easy install.

The grille started getting some paint chips in it from road debris, so I plastidipped it. The plastidip has lasted about 8 months so far without any chips.

I got the Carriage Works 44383 Black Grille from Amazon for $80. It was very easy to install and looks pretty good. Hopefully it will hold up to the elements well. If it chips, I'll go the plastidip route as well.

A couple stopped me in a parking lot the other day and told me to get a guard because they got a rock in their IC and it was $1000 to replace. $80 is a lot better that a grand that's for sure.
Where did you get that grille ^^^^

Galvanized wire screen from Home Depot, paintable, etc...$4 cost. Not a nice billet grille but looks fine and serves it's purpose....

Those look great. It too bad you can't get them with lenses or bulbs that match the stock fog light color.
