Does anyone make a grille?

That looks like the stock one, but w/o the 'hole' for the emblem? I want it to just have the lines across and no hole, idk if its been done before? Thanks!

I've seen a few posts where the owner modified his or her own grill by fiberglassing over the hole but I haven't seen anyone manufacture one for sale.

You can take your stock grille to a shop and have them smooth it out, or if you have the time and patience you can do it yourself, thats what I did and it looks alright.

Hey thanks! Thats exactly what I wanted, minus the FFF. Did you do that your self or have a shop do it? How much was it to have done?

I smoothed it myself using a fiberglass repair kit I bought at Wal-Mart for about twenty dollars.

Thanks.

I rattle-canned it. That's not the greatest idea, as it tends to chip easily, but it is possible to get decent results.
