Uh, you can achieve that with any oem grill. The outside ring is a separate piece from the slatted section. Center section has clips around perimeter, release the clips, remove center slats entirely
Grill has to be removed from car to do this I wouldn't recommend it, grills are there for a reason to protect your expensive rad from flying road debris...

Not enough to make a bit of difference in either my oil or coolant temperatures. OTOH a rock approaching a full inch in diameter can pass through the stock grille, and I'm quite sure the damage it would do to the radiator would cause a serious temperature problem.

That's the main reason why I replaced the slat grille on mine, the protection against road debris is minimal. TBH I didn't do the lower section on mine where my AC coils are, but after seeing your experience it's on my list.
