Well, I just bit the bullet and ordered the eBay grille insert set that I posted pics of in the first post. Will provide updates/pics when it arrives.

I don't see any grilles for the 2021-2022 models.
They buy direct from Ford and paint to your specifications or offer suggestions from experience so yes, they do the Gen14 grilles.

@thebigdu did you ever get them installed?
a curiousity bump
Sorry for the delay! I did receive the eBay grille inserts and was generally pleased with the quality and packaging, but I didn't really like the fit and finish against the factory grille. The finish is definitely a lot glossier than the eBay listing pics show, and I don't think the inserts would mount as deep into the grille as the listing pics show. I was too on-the-fence to commit to drilling the necessary holes in the factory grille, so I decided to return the kit. I did snap pics of the inserts uninstalled...

could always divert the air into a cone air intake for extreme cool-ness

I was expecting a more brushed stainless look to it (not sure why I had that in my head) not powder coated shiny black (which is what it appears to be).

Oh well :)
