How to make this BLACK mesh inset grill??

I really like the looks of the black plastic mesh inset grill, like in the pics below. Especially when you add the small logo in the right corner. That looks freakin sweet. I'd like to do this to my max but the only grills i see are metal mesh, or they arent inset... the trenz girl looks like crap in my opinion, no offense.
I saw the Sorona grill but the frame on that one looks funny, too fat. It doesnt need to be all that complicated. I am wondering if i get some wide mesh and paint it black and just remove the center bar piece with the logo on it from the front grill, then put the black mesh in the back and attach a small maxima logo from the 2000+ maxs or a nismo logo (cept i dont have any performace parts so thats kinda poser-ish)...

these pics are the look i am going for...



(i appologize for posting lexus pics although the first pic is a nissan!)

any ideas?!

you could try those things that go on flourescent lights, im not sure, but they fit in the drop ceiling in the computer lab at my school, then spray it flat black or something, whatever, just my .02
