I think the JMS is your best bet, but if you really like the Street Scenes like the one I have, you could change your bumper to a 00/01. It's possible but it will cost more and be more time consuming.

galvanized steel gutter guards from Lowes/Home Depot, cut to fit.

OEM grille - sanded, primed, and painted with Duplicolor gloss black and clearcoat.

Mesh backing - primed with special primer for galvanized steel (which won't rust) and topcoat with gloss black. Cut to fit behind factory grille.
