you'll have to call a Ford dealer bud. You'll need to purchase an entire grille. Tell them to look for one that says "chrome surround" and price out the cheapest one. Then you'll have to remove your center section (the Roush part) and install it in the new chrome surround.
Sounds fun, huh?

Actually you need to order a grill that is designed to have painted insert. Ford typically does not put them together so you can paint the insert without it being attached to the chrome. That will save you a ton of time and headaches.

ok, thanks for the info. but how does my current grill come out of the black surround? is it held in with clips? screws? how easy is it to get out without damaging it and put it in the chrome surround?

There are a few screws and a bunch of tabs. Do a search on here there are a couple of guys that talk about seperating the 2 pieces. I believe one guy used a feeler guage to pry the tabs. This is a quote from a different thread.

I also used a little WD-40 to help things along. A little tugging and pulling and it all came apart. You are going to need the thicker feeler gauges to make this work .010 through .025.
