Mesh/grill front "bird" filler??? Is there a front license plate grill/mesh insert to cover the hole made in the front bumper cover to let air flow to a single front mounted intercooler for a Procharger (more efficient than the small twin intercoolers). I have seen pictures of nice silver grill or mesh inserts and one pic of a black mesh insert. Are these custom made or are they for sale online? The black mesh would be perfect for my black 98 TA. But, I could deal with the silver grill or mesh as well. The pics I have seen look like the front "bird" filler was cut out along the edges and a grill or mesh was incorporated so that the filler plate could be re-installed and still allow air to flow throug the hole made behind it in the bumper cover cut-out. Otherwise, the intercooler is visible through the hole without the grill or mesh insert covering the hole. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

One of the mechanics at the old TTP used to have one on his turbo C5. It looked alright.
Here's one on a 'bird I have saved on my computer. The owner is "SLowETz." I would try PM'ing him and hoping for a response (however, it looks like he hasn't logged on in about 3 months or so) or maybe someone will recognize the piece in the picture & give you a name.
The more popular option is:

I definitely want to make that mesh insert for my black WS6. I also want to find the body kit ground effect trim for under the bumper cover too! I have seen pics of a black WS6 with the nostril's mesh, the mesh insert, and the ground effect with mesh all painted silver. It looks pretty sweet and still functional for the Procharger intercooler.

IMO this is the ideal appearance for my future set-up (I am planning a 408 stroker with procharger and front mounted intercooler) on the black WS6 convertible. Does anybody know where I can order the front bumper cover lower ground effect?

Honestly, just keep PM'ing owners & asking on different forums. Posting pictures of particular cars will help people recognize who's car it is & help you get in touch w/ the owners or find out the answer to where you can buy one.
Here's another one
