Need advice FAST!!

I have a white '10 FX2 and installed a black billit grill from Carriage Works...Now when I look at the truck straight on, it doesnt even look like there is a grill there....I can easily see all the ugly things behind it (horn especialy). I was wanting a black grill for my white truck because I thought it would look "clean" but this gave me the opposite effect.
I have looked around and realy cant find a black grill from another company other than I think T-rex, but that aint the look Im going for on my street truck.
Is there anything I can install behind the Carraige Works grill to hide everything and still not let the truck overheat?? Or is there another grill I might can get??...going to call Stylin Trucks this afternoon to try to get a replacement coming in the mail...Thank

Can you just relocate the horn behind the bumper where it isn't seen?

I remember seeing the radiator support through the grille when I had my black carriage works. I had planned to get some black window screen mesh to put behind it. To blur the back ground and act like a bug screen. I never got the chance to with that grille, but there is an idea for you.

Yeah, you suggested the legit way on how to do it, I was just gonna wrap the back of the grille.

But OP, if you're going to bother with it bankrpt's suggestion is the better one
