Chicken wire grille

So, the top and bottom air intakes are fitted with a 'mesh' to keep out small furry animals and low flying birds.


The bottom corners are unfortunately some kind of 'mesh printed' plastic 'panel' for lack of a better word.


I find these really offensive on a car like the GLS. Does anyone know if suitable aftermarket replacements are available ?


Thanks, Pete

As I understand, these are created in this manner to protect/shield radar and other electronics in the back.
Not sure you can just pull them out and replace with some aftermarket panels (if any exist) to change the look to your liking.
