Grill Options, please

Son's car got backed into so I am purchasing a new painted bumper for him. The car has a aftermarket grill, from original owner, that's a silver mesh. Not crazy about it so I'm trying to talk him into either the OEM or another option. Done a bit of searching and cannot say I've come up with a whole lot.

What's out there?

Likely it's just expanded aluminum that you can get at Lowes in a roll.
It's used a lot to keep critters from getting under your house or into the eves.

Not many options since the OEM grille looks just fine to most of us I guess.

Only other good looking option ive seen is no grille at all.

The OEM grill isn't installed behind it so I'll need to source one if better options aren't avail.

You should also verify the tabs to hold the OEM grille are still there. Many people file them off once the grille is removed.
