We finally found an almost exact match at Home Depot which is 1" on the diagonal, but it's about 5$ a piece and you can only make one grill section with it. On the plus side, if it's well done, I think it can look very cool, ala "billet" look.

However, before investing in a fan$y aluminum grill, it's (as always) best to prove if it works with a cheaper material.
