What I would do:

Get expandable foam that gets hard, once it hardens just shape it down shape, put a light layer of fiberglass, and a light layer of bondo, shape it down to the exact shape and repaint the grille.

as far as i know, the process is easy but time consuming. as a result, it's just not worth it for randy to be producing these grilles with his busy schedule.
