How about just building one that fits your car.
You an use 1/2" angle, build a rectagular frame. Tack weld in some nice looking steel mesh (expanded metal type) and then run a couple of rear braces, 1/4" steel rods on the back side of the rock guard grill. These rods support the mesh and prevent a large object from coming through the mesh and damaging the radiator.
Paint it, chrome it, jet hot it or whatever you want.

You will have to figure a way to mount it just in front of the radiator and deep back in the front end (about an inch out in front of the radiator).

I built two, one for my radiator and one for the oil cooler, they look good and work great. Bill
