With the BS going on concerning the transmission I thought I'd make something useful while I still don't have the truck.
Terrible picture. I did indeed whip out a potato to take that one. You can faintly see where I am going to cut the "cross" out. Then remove the mesh and strip the chrome..hopefully. I haven't found a sure fire way online to get the chrome off. I know brake fluid will do it but common; who can afford to buy enough brake fluid to fill a container big enough to fit this thing in it? lol
I'll get a better picture for everyone and you can give me your opinions..or not. Whatever works. lol
Also, here is the mesh I plan on using after I cut that inner lip out.

They won't let you save the pictures from their site so just take a gander. Not cheap stuff.
