Replacement grilles for aero kit

DO they sell replacements for the stickers on the aero kit rear bumper?

Why did they go the sticker route with the aero kit? I saw one up close a few days ago for the first time. I always thought it was mesh....still looks good though.

Any way to cut out the bumper and put real mesh in there, or is it more trouble than its worth?

there is a part number for the sticker kit and yeah...its more trouble than its worth to put real mesh in there. Unless you like to DIY.
