Go to the desk organizer section and get an upright file holder than is made of mesh screen metal. The larger one will give you enough area to cut out adequate material to cover the face of the radiator fins. You will have to bend it carefully to conform to the curvature of the radiator. This material is strong and will do the job.Which item from Staples did you use??I too used the black mesh screen from Staples. I cut the screen to the size of the radiator face and simply slide it in behind the plastic original guard. It sets on the channel at the bottom of the radiator, no need to use any fasteners. The mesh is strong, not aluminum, works great and cost less than $10.I made a guard out of some of this stuff...and it's already black...fastened it onto the backside of the stock guard with black zip ties meebee the link will workhttps://www.staples.com/Desk+Organizer+Collections+Wire+Mesh+and+Metal/directory_Desk+Organizer+Collections%2C+Wire+Mesh+and+Metal?rpp=24&pn=2&sr=true
