Grill for R model nose

A friend of mine that restores old Shelbys and Mustangs for a living sent me some pictures of something that he has been doing for a grill on the fiberglass R model noses. I thought that it looked very nice, and seems so obvious that I have trouble thinking that nobody ever came up with that before, but, I've never seen it before.

All that he did was put a normal 65 grill on the car in the usual manner, and then take another 65 grill and cut the ends off to fit inside the lower area. The lower piece is upside down, and he also bent the lower lip of the cut piece around the other way so that the screw holes line up. Here are some pictures of it out on the floor so that you can see it better. I thought that this looked kind of cool, and since a lot of people have this nose their car, this is an inexpensive way to finish that which kind of looks like something a manufacturer might have done.
