You can find it on grille tech if I'm not mistaken. It comes in black and chrome look finish. It's straight.

It's either the grille-tech or the JMS Products.

I had that grille. The other member is correct; That is a grille-tech.com grill. I had mines for along time but decided to get my oem grill back on. Not a bad appearance mod for the price.

The major downside of the grille-tech is the quick rusting factor. Many members have had theirs begin to rust within a matter of a couple of months.

I put 5+ hours into my JDUBS front body kit to make the 02 grill fit in (The Jdubs kit was for an 01 grill. I love the 02 Grill's I think Paul 5:14 might be selling that grill in the 1st post soon.

Yeah... I got the lower grille when I first started changing things up. It started to rust in less then a month, if that.
If you get it my advice is to get a good clear coat and spray it out. Put several coats on, not to mention it will help the pop effect.

IMO, the OEM grill is a hundred times better than any of the aftermarket grilles out there. my OEM is currently being painted and i have an idea, maybe, for a custom grill with mesh, but i have to get my hands on another OEM grill and see i it will work.

the problem is our grill area is SO large, and when you put that kind of grill in it, it just kinda looks funny, like bucktooth almost, its not the same flat nose massive lxury front end like the 300C.

It will just look like a big dark pillar instead of a light one. Might as well just cut the pillar out(saw it done on an altima) but then...no support for the bumper so back to stock it is. $19.95 huh? . reporting you to paypal for non-working caca idea.
