I found some Volvo grilles on alibaba.com today. Cheap...maybe not gutter-guard cheap, but still:

Guess I could have squinted harder at that pic, huh?
I probably saw "V70" and "XC" close to each other. Oh well...they probably buy gutter guards and make 'em - then sell them with markup!I'm applying my hard-earned (more like bought) knowledge to a 2004 XC90 2.5T.

Nice work. I would've blacked it out completely myself. I have no fondness for the Volvo grill and cross-emblem.
