they aren't that hard to build, they are usually just thin stainless bar or channel, and you weld vertical uprights in behind them, paint the uprights black so they are harder to see. Some trucks you can do them flat across the front, others you will have to bend them or cut them so they meet at an angle in the front.

Sorry just reread your post and see that you are looking for a tube grill that covers your head lights.
As far as the LMC part # difference 4 mm versus 8 mm bars, so I would guess NO it does not cover the headlights.

They show a picture of it on that page. Definitely does not cover the headlights.

If your looking for something like this, your going to need to fab it up yourself. Pretty sure no one makes grilles that cover the headlights.
