This is not an original idea--I remember reading it somewhere on the forum. Since I couldn't find it again, I thought I would repost with the words, "front grill" in the title.
I purchased a grill for a 2004 Mazda 3 from Amazon and cut it to size for the opening under the front hood. The grill is plastic and was easy to trim using tin snips. After cutting to fit, I riveted the grill to my front license plate bracket and to the sides of the front bumper.
My apologies for the large images--I couldn't figure out how to make them thumbnail size.
