Many people have done it. Some prefer to buy pre-cut screens from companies like ZunSport or Rennline. Some prefer going to Home Depot, buying some gutter guard screen, and attaching it to the bumper with wood screws.
I have the screens that Rennline sells, they are quite nice and install pretty easily. You can definitely make your own screens much more cheaply with similar black wire mesh, but I am too lazy to do that so I just bought the Rennline screens.
My screenforming skills went by the wayside years ago. Was out your way last week, Dennis. Ended up in Estes Park in a Challenger via National Car rental. Just beautiful.
I'm a pretty mechanically inclined person, but I dropped the $$ on a set from Rennline. The retaining clips are the best part of the kit. No more doing this for a while...
+1 on the Rennline clips. If you have extra clips from a screen kit, real easy to make your own additional screen set. Props for how Rennline engineers their products.

^^The price is seemingly pretty steep but they do look nice, and they fit properly - I imagine a DIY set would take quite a bit of trial/error, and they still may not look as good... I'll probably bite the bullet and drop the $300
I did a custom grill (customgrills.com). About $60 for a regular 996, C4S a little more material. Took me all day because the C4S has two planes and I had to do a lot of bending, I don't ever want to do it again.
Small diamond pattern, rubber seals for the outside of the screen. Zip ties to secure.

^^Yeah... Kind of what I figured. I'm a pretty hard core DIY'er but this is one I have very little to no interest in. $300 isn't going to change my life either way so...
