Default TA front license plate grill/mesh insert for FMIC

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!

I cut my own instead of buying one. I did it all in about 4 hours including painting.

i used a dremel with the rotary bit and a sanding roll to clean the edges. Mesh was a sheet I got from home depot. I used epoxy to make it stay in place

Did you have to paint the edges of the cover after the edges were sanded?
