Yea I was going to comment on the price as well but I didnt want to turn you off from getting it lol . Now that it has been said however I like all but the part for the fog lights. If it is quality metal/paint then I would hop on it

plus you have fogs anyways so really you are buying something you do not need. The part for the lower grille and the smaller middle grille are good. The main grille portion I dont know. It could go either way and you wont know until you get it. I have never seen this before and that is rare for a car they dont make new aftermarket parts for anymore. Are you going to get it?

agreed, i bought that 3 piece mesh kit awhile back that zip-tied to the back of the openings in the bumper and grill looked like this but for 4th gen http://www.ebay.com/itm/02-03-Nissan...8b2145&vxp=mtr, i still have the piece behind the grill to keep crap off the radiator but never liked the 2 that went into the bumper openings, looked cheesy to me. wind restriction slowed down my race car too much...
