Exposed Radiator - Need Suggestions

I took delivery of my Club Coupe #15 this week. You might have noticed that some cars have a plastic rock guard protecting the radiator; some do not. The dealer told me that all cars with tiptronic or the X51 will not have the rock guard because they need the airflow for cooling. I put 10,350 miles on my 997 w/ tiptronic and noticed that rocks pelt the radiator, and a lot of debris (cigarette butts, leaves, etc.) fill the inside (all 3 openings).

I would like to hear about aftermarket grills to cover the exposed areas. Looking for suggestions folks...

PICS will help a lot!

Car graphic makes these. I have a set in my garage and i plan on installing next week. They are very simple. Basicaly chickenwire in black or stainless molded to fit the holes. You have to remove the front bumper cover to install them and then use a silcon adhisive to hold them in place. Here is a link to their site. I got them from www.automotion.com.

Thank you. After I wrote this I read my email to find a Cargraphic catalog with these. Timing is everything...
