Question Are there any aftermarket grills for the lower opening?

I really wouldn't mind replacing that Neon-like smiley faced bar with something that matches the single bar grill. Anyone have any connections with an after-market parts maker?

+1 on what Wes said. You can get cheap($400) intact OEM bumpers on ebay.
The good ones goes for $400-500 for the front bumper and the same for rear.

But the lower mesh that I linked to will make the lower opening look better.

You could always paint it if the black version isn't available.

I considered that. Still mulling. I might just lay down until the feeling goes away.

The feeling won't go away, jut disappear for a while. I tried the same when I was thinking of buying the amg package
The feeling kept coming back after 2-3 weeks.

JHouse - If you have any ideas as to how to customise the lower grill pls photoshop it and post on here. I have a friend who is good with fibreglass and I might be able to make something happen. Anyone else with an idea for a customised part?
