02/03 grill that I found on ebay

Since I am going to get a 02/03 bumper for my 00 Max. I am looking for a grill on ebay. I have checked the dealer the cost of a brand new grill is $198. This one I found on ebay looks in pretty good condition.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=020&sspagename=STRK%3AME SE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=300191927162&rd=1

What I concern is, is it really a oem grill. I don't want to get a custom grill.
What do you guys think???

no kidding, $55 to ship a grille is too much, he probably put a handling charge in there of 20-30 bux so in case it does sell for 0.99 then he would still get some money.

I ordered my new 02-03 grill for $100 from the guy who worked at the body shop. Then I had to spend $30+ to buy the Nissan emblem. So for that price, it's pretty cheap (even with shipping lol - he probably just didn't want to pay the eBay fees).

yeah you are right, i saw the same grill on ebay for $100 with no emblem, and only the emblem on ebay will cost around $30. So total $130, thats why I want to get this, but it is too expensive for me to buy a new bumper just for the grill. The pain job is not cheap!! I think i should just leave this for someone.
