Does any places sell strips of billet steel or aluminum or something similar to make a billet style grille? Thanks.

the whole point of a billet anything is that its milled from one solid piece of metal, if you want a “billet look” without adding alot of weight, perhaps an aluminum frame with thin aluminum bar stock rivited to it and clearcoated at the end would give you somewhat of a similar effect

I would buy a cheap ass one on ebay and cut it to fit. I heard some poeple that do it this way if the opening they are trying to fill is not that large. Maybe use a explorer grill.
