Cut a piece of news paper a couple layers thick and place it in the center. Cut it a little smaller than the acutall grill space to allow room for you to seal the edges properly. Next, get some masking tape and CAREFULLY tape around theedges of the grill. Don't worry if your line isn't exactly straight, you can come back with an exacto knife afterwards and touch it up a bit. But if you want it to match the rest of your car, I would suggest dropping it off at a body shop for a day or so and let them take care of it. Shouldn't cost much at all.
