Default Lower grille that matches the Elanor upper grille?

Threw an Elanor style grill on my car over the holidays, and I really like it. But I feel like the stock lower grille really kills the look. So any recommendations on a lower grille that would work well? Preferably one that isn't too expensive. Also I want an actual replacement, not just an overlay.

Pics for reference

American muscle has the lower grill inserts that fill up the 2 empty spaces. I think they would look good but not sure if its what your lookin for

You could always get another upper grille like you have and trim off a couple of pieces to put in the lower opening.
Assuming that grille isn't too expensive to destroy in the first place...

Actually, I think that Street Scene has a huge one for their Gen.1 bumper, I believe it's the same diamond shape than what you got.
It's one big piece across the bottom, use that and cut it to size.

why not just add the aggressive spoiler to the front of the car !? Here is what mine looks like for reference you can always get em painted to match the car.

I just installed a Eleanor grille last night. I am OCD about things matching, and I noticed that the style you have doesn't match the lower side.

Don't know the brand...but here is what it looks like.




btw, thanks for the heads up on those SHR lower inserts...added them to my list

I've seen those SHR inserts, but those match the stock honeycomb which is what I don't want. I looked around on a few sites and couldn't find anything that matched my lower grill (guess I should've checked that before, oh well).

If I have to I suppose I can buy another grill and cut it, but I'd hate to blow another 140$ and have it not turn out right.
