Welcome.

Are you planning on doing anything beyond the grille block? Those strike me as a minor improvement, worth doing.

I think the second question is more interesting. What are the required dimensions? I'd guess 5x10ft. You can get sheet materials like Polymetal or MaxMetal in 5x10 or 4x12 sheets. Then it's a matter of establishing a dozen or more mounting points and shimming them down to a common plane that will clear 95% of everything with cutouts for tow hooks, etc.

What's the wheelbase and width across the frame rails? Are you an aerocap or half-tonneau sort of guy?
