thank you all for your compliments. 
it's two grilles put together at the center where i removed the emblem and it's base.
YOU CAN ONLY DO THIS IF YOUR GRILLE IS W/O PRE COLLISION
okay so first, you need to buy a second oem grille, its about $140 list price i believe. got mine below that. (i work at a body shop)
so, we'll call one GRILLE A and the other GRILL B.
GRILLE A:
we'll use this grille as the final product, so keep this clean. first cut out the emblem and its base. cut at the fins, do not cut this grille in half, leave the perimeter in place. there are a total of 9 fins that we will be replacing. where the end of the emblem base meets the first full fin make your first cut on that middle horizontal brace that supports the fins at the middle. do the same on the other side. now at the top of the emblem try to cut as close as you can to the perimeter cutting through all 9 fins. do the same at the bottom. the base should be free. then clean up what's left of the 9 fins.
GRILLE B:
we'll use this grill to replace the 9 fins that we took off. you may cut this grille any way you want, to get the fins out. you will need the 4 fins thats closest to the base on the left and right side of the base, totaling 8. however you will need to keep its full length. the 9th fin will come from the left or right side closest to the 4 fins taken out. this will be the center fin (9th). it's important keep these fins in order do so by numbering them with tape. because they will be going back in the way you took them off, except your just locating them in the center where you removed the base.
ASSEMBLY: GRILLE A
measure the fin positions and make sure each and everyone of them are centered to each other. make any cuts needed to fit fins in place. just don't over cut the fins. glue them in place using 3M super glue then melt them in place on the back side. for a cleaner look continue removing the middle horizontal brace that supports the fins in the middle. finally,
prep the grille for paint. <-- painted mine a jet black, 2 stage base and clear.
good luck with the project

Good suggestion. I might just do that, thanks!
That's a pretty good idea. It looks awesome and clean
The price is not firm, I will listen to reasonable offers from anyone interested.
