I did that to my 30 coupe way back in 1959 when I was in hi-school. I took the grill shell to metal shop to cut out the extruded metal. I still remember my shop teacher saying "are you sure you want to do that to that nice A-bone shell?" I drilled four small holes in the shell for small bolts.
 
If you ever get a look at an original stone guard, the wires run diagonally, not straight up and down like the reproductions. Personally I think the original looks more attractive than the repro. Also, I personally don't care for stone guards, mostly because their attachment to the radiator shell tends to damage the shell eventually. But that is just my opinion.
