Default Grill inserts or replacement

I have searched and looked both here and the net, and darn if I can find grill inserts for a 2011 model.

Does anyone have suggestions where to look/shop?

I saw an Edge the other day with a perfect factory grill but could not figure out the year, it had that honey comb fill over the entire grill.

My center openings and the lower opening are allowing objects to impact the condenser and that is causing damage. I cannot believe Ford left such huge openings without anything to deflect debris. I've got several dents in the base of the condenser from rocks or something solid hitting it. This can keep up or severe damage will occur. Something needs to be there to deflect airborne objects.

I like the plastic honey comb pattern of the pieces the put on the vertical openings, I'd like to find something like that for the H-grill and the lower opening. But have been striking out so far.

When I saw the Edge the other day that looked like a factory grill and wondering if these are direct replacements meaning an earlier 2000-2010 models would fit.

I'd consider the billet inserts but they only show parts for one opening and not for the lower, and then they stop at 2010 models.

So any help will greatly be appreciated.

I did find the sticky on this subject but it goes up to 2010's.

So I'm wondering is it possible to get say an XLT or Edge grill and take the honey comb part and mount it to a 2011 grill?

I see how the factory has slots for the side vertical parts with tabs. But didn't see anything there in the structure to affix something else.

Found a company Grille4you.

They had a black billet insert for the lower section for $38. So I ordered that.

I'm considering the same inserts except polished aluminum for the H grill, but I wanted to see how the black looks on the lower section.

Thanks for playing...
