This is a custom grille I made for a S60 but I have done the same to fords, porsches, and countless other cars.

Take your stock grill and gut it:

Then using safety wire lace in your new gille material and mud in around the edges.

Then just paint it:

The air intake grill I was referring to is on the right side of the hood leading to the air cleaner.

Ebay has some "overpriced" chrome air intake plates for the Kodiaks
