stock grill looks sweet when painted body color. I have grille tech's and love 'em. people have problems with them rusting though.

I like my JMS Products grille, but have lately been thinking of going back to the OEM grille. I'd probably like it even more if I didn't have to have the front license plate on my car.

eh? I don't see anything on my windshield. Unless you mean that little bar across the very top of it, thats the factory tint (very light to semi-shield light when your driving)

trey: stock grill looks nice for 00-01. The 02-03's have that big hamburger nissan emblem that I don't like. Remember, this is just my opinion. However, I do like the 02-03 bumper better.

The bottom is just a maater of snapping in the clamps from
under the car, don't have to cut anything out. for the top
I heard u can clamp it on on top of stock grille but i heard
it doesn't look good> i ad a shope cut out my grille after it was
damaged in a minor fender bender , they cut it out to big so i had
to adapt it and find a way to make it stay on, it wasn't that hard..
Make sure they know where to cut...

Street Scenes grille will not work on a 2K2, at least the ones they currently produce won't.
