Mad Mat's open mouth grille was from Racing Raven, and was a poorly made product, twisted and what not...

My pick would either be a proper AutoExe (good luck finding one) or a DG Motorsports grille, in either Carbon Fibre or fibreglass. I purchased one for an old member last year and the quality was very good:

Watch out with using LED's for the indicators as they don't have as much load on the system and it thinks it is blown so blinks 4 times as fast. You can correct this by using a load resistor to mimic the nominal load but then uses as much as a standard bulb so no real benefit.
