Inox grill folded on edges of the plastic frame of the radiator.
Then fixed with small screws.
what specifically is this that you used?

from the pictures, it looks like it sits almost right up against the back of the grill, but looking at my 2012, it seems there is more space?

Default Grill screen

Where did you get the fasteners? I've been looking hi and lo. Had the same idea for a grill screen. Thanx Harry

Primed and painted satin black and then notched out around the retaining clips for the grill, I used self adhesive zip tie blocks and trimmed them to fit between the grill slots. I used 3 on each slot of the grill and 3 on each end, all of them evenly spaced and used black zip ties to secure the grill insert in place.
All the materials came to around $25 or less.

Default Win!

Took the time today to do this project. Lots of fun and it was well worth the $30 stayed with the stainless look to match the chrome inserts. Click image for larger version

I plan to do this this weekend. I made a trip from Texas to Colorado and picked up a bird that wanted to hitch hike in my grill After I fished it out, I decided I needed a cover. Great thing this is cheap and easy
