Default PP Lower Grille replacement

I'm looking to replace this lower grille, the one with the rectangle gaps. I'd love to have one that's honeycomb with no gaps in it that matches the upper grille. The only thing I can find that's close are the 20 ebay grilles, but they have the opening behind the plate. That would be fine if I could find an insert like this to plug the gap.

Not much of a fan of billet grilles, but then again that beats 'fabricating' one out of gutter guard! Just not sure how a lower billet would look while retaining the upper pony grille. Haven't noticed pics of this, anyone have this setup?

Swapping to a GT bumper/grille combo is pretty much not an option, she likes the Pony grille...in order that I don't get 'shanked' in the shower, the Pony grille stays

Anyone know of a solid honeycomb lower grille?

The only ones I've seen are billet, but you can get a billet overlay grill that so you can keep the fogs.

I bought the inserts from americanmuscle.com to fill in the openings in the bottom. If I could find the right top & bottom grilles I'd replace them but so far have been unable to find ones I really like. Considering making my own.

www.mrbodykit.com sells the same thing in black. You can buy the Pony Package upper/lower combo in black or billet for consistency or just buy your bottom grill replacement and not mind the honeycomb/black billet combo.

I may try a black billet on the bottom only. I keep my eyes peeled when I'm out n about, but have yet to see a billet grille live and up close.

Street Scenes lists a lower valance grille but doesn't show a pic, waiting to hear back from them.
