Default Oem matching

Before you yell at me and call me a noob or anything i personally do not own a scion, i have a modded wrangler so im not a complete idiot and am extremely mechanically inclined. I am trying to help out my girlfriend. She has an 07 tC and wants foglights in the lower grille and wants a badgeless upper...I have been searching for a matching upper to the oem style honeycomb pattern and couldnt find anything...can you guys help me out finding a matching "mesh" or similar style grille.

there are no aftermarket grills that have the same honeycomb desigh as stock. your best bet is to get a VRD grill kit and replace both upper and lower grills OR you can get a oem lower grill and cut it out to fit the chrome ring on the upper grill and make your own badgeless grill. there are lots or diy write-ups on doing that..

does the vrd kit have the holes for the lights though, and if it was up to me the first thing i would do is cut the bottom for the top but her dad is a mechanic and will kill meif i cut a courner or anything like that.

figure sells complete matching sets of grills for the upper and lower grill, with or without fog lights and even for the side vents.
