Looking for an alternative mesh-type grill replacement, same idea as the aero black but in aluminum or chrome. Is
anybody making such a thing? Would appreciate pics or website URL's for this part, if it exits.

This post is probably best moved to the Interior and exterior mods forum.

So far no one has come out with an easy front bonnet and bumper metal like finish grille part.
You could buy the aerokit grille parts and have them chromed or painted to the color of your choice but with the debris and bugs hitting the front grille area it won't be long before the damage will show up.

It is possible to chrome plastic.
