Default Amuse Front Bumper with AP2 grill?

Thinking about picking up an Amuse Front Bumper but i dont like the fact it has no grill and i like the oem grill. they have similar openings so i was wondering has anyone been able to mod an ap2 oem grill on an amuse front bumper?

I know they look similar but I believe the Amuse opening is actually bigger...besides I'm pretty sure the bumper either comes w/a mesh grill or there is one you can buy/make yourself...I know it's not OEM (which is what you're looking for) but the mesh looks badass on a bumper like the Amuse one

the key is to paint the mesh black so that it doesnt look so tacky & ricey...
