Which 73-80 Billet Tube Grille do I get?

I wanna get a billet tube grille for my 75...but I don't wanna have to relocate the hood pop mechanism. I heard there was one where you could still reach through it and pop the hood...which one is this? Thanks guys!

I have a Stull brand billet grill. I was able to open the hood by sliding my fingers between the grilles, but it was tight. Got tired of this and in the process of converting to an inside hood release set up.

I have a square tube billet grill, and I can stick my fingers through enough to still pop the hood. I'm not sure what brand it is though...

I'm wanting the round tube style. I think that you can still get the hood latch open with this style.
