Default Billet Grill/Fascia?

Has anyone seen a billet grill for the JK? I know this seems like a purely cosmetic mod, but it would be nice to have something solid up front. I know the plastic body colored grill/front fascia is sufficient for its purpose but sufficient and Jeep are not really synonymous.

I'm not talking about one of those cheesy stamped out bling type of grills or inserts. I'm talking about one solid chunk of metal that replaces the entire Jeep grill/fascia.

Looks good man, but I'm talking about the whole front piece. I'd like to get a solid chunk of aluminum that looks just like the Jeep grill, headlight surround and all. Even better if it offered additional light mounting options. Seems like it would be easy enough for one of the aftermarket companies to design.

The first link you posted is almost exactly what I want, except for I want it to be solid billet and either painted body color, black or grey. The plastic is easily broken and offers little to no protection from larger objects going through the grill. Even if they had something plastic that was stronger I'd go for that. The plastic they used seems very flimsy. If you hit a bird going down the interstate its going to go right through the grill. Only reason I'm even interested is I actually hit a bird in Nebraska on my way out to Moab in June this year. If it hadn't tagged the fab fours grill guard first it would have definitely snapped the ribs of the grill.

I ment the first one, but the second one i've seen at PepBoys, they sell a sheet of that kind of screen, you can cut it out and make one yourself. It's shiny stainless steel, so it might be what you're looking for

There is a guy on here that has a billet grill insert on a black four door. It looks good.
