Question Grill Replacement????

I have an 86 Iroc and I want to take out the black grill thing with the chevy symbol in the middle, that goes around the fog lights. I want to cut out the urethane behind it and make it so more air flow through that opening. Does any company make an aftermarket screen that will go into that place.. I will be putting a Intercooler there one day, But I want alot of air to flow through that opening, but notice I said air not rocks and debris. When I first bought the car last summer. She didn't like to run in the hot sun all day. I took out the fog lights and problem was fixed. I got a new air dam/valance. I even pulled my Radiator out and had it dipped and flushed and pressure cleaned. about 20 degrees cooler now. But I want to go one step further and remove that black thing and then trim out the urethane bumper so that it is just a slim support I will be adding a few extra support strips to aid with support but I want a screen. I have seen that many ram air hoods have screens and I was wondering if any aftermarket companies sell a screen made for our years.. let me know..

Thanks,
Kevin

IIRC Ramchargers sells it. You just have to cut it to fit the shape of the opening and it attaches with screws or zip ties.

I was thinking of doing something along those lines but still am undecided.
