I made this one with stainless mesh from Speedway and aluminum square stock from Amazon. I used a circular/mitre saw with an aluminum cutting blade to cut the aluminum. I sandwiched the mesh between the aluminum and held the aluminum together with stainless hex head fasteners, threaded into the "bottom" aluminum bar. I drilled mounting holes in the radiator guard and then fastened it directly to the frame of the car using the same fasteners.

It doesn't appear that there is any effect on the cooling capacity of the radiator, and I'm happy with the way it looks and the protection it provides.
