I'll start with the factory lower grill. The factory lower grill is an integrated part of the bumper to the best of my knowledge (i'm sure someone will confirm this), so I don't believe there is any way you could fab that into the crusher other than cutting it out of your bumper and tediously shaping it into the crusher and then fabbing a way to attach it. There a number of grills that you can buy aftermarket that will fit into the crusher with very little work though.
As for the two slot insert that comes with the crusher...that's a debated question. The piece will fit without any problems and it will look good and it will allow for airflow to the intercooler, I'm not positive if it will restrict it substantially or not. You could run with it on for a few days and just keep a close eye on your temp gauge to make sure nothing funny happens. Another option would be to leave it open and fill the opening with some mesh grill...just a thought [:I]
Hope this helps.
