grill guard/push bar for ep3

I live in a rural S.W. Missouri, U.S.A.
I drive my ep daily, it seems there is always some animal running out in front of my car. Last night it was a raccoon, it cracked the lower part of the bumper skin, wiped out the condenser and radiator, and bent the core support. Parts are on the way.
I am kicking around the idea of buying or making a grill guard, something stylish.
Ideas are welcome, brand recommendations, design, and especially how to mount it without cutting the plastic.
Thanks all.
P.S. I am a welder so fab no problem.

Custom fab is going to be your only option, could have it come through the lower grill to minimize bumper hacking

Another thought, since the whole front of the car is essentially a crumple zone, you're probably best to attach it to the subframe
