Paradox Systems didn't have them, at least I didn't find the grill on their site. There is a horizontal grill but it is with only small horizontal stripes, not the 2 big ones.

If you search for the post "Searching for a grill" in this forum, wich was posted 2 weeks ago or something you will find all the info you need to get your grill...

oh heck, here is the link:

I got that grill for $120 USD shipped from Simon at sycefiro@yahoo.com. He is totally trust worthy and ships fast. The grill is JDM Nissan, is a direct fit for our cars.

good luck.

Paradox has one that looks kinda Mercedes style. I used to have it, but then broke down and dropped the cash for the I35 grille.

There are some pics on my site if you want to see it.

simon (sycfiro) said the one he sells has a bit more chrome around the edges and quality should be better since its JDM vs OEM. I haven't seen the OEM grill to compare.

but if u really want your ride pimped...give me the funds and let me do the rest...I can guarantee you you will like your "new car"....all that PIMP MY RIDE show did was add extremely high amounts of extra weight on the cars...idiots...although the car is nice...they'll suffer the gas mileage....mWAHHAHAHHAA

The one that he sells IS OEM, but from Japan instead of US.

Good! Who needs that fool anyways. He would probably want to put on some ugly @ss 20'' "spinners", leopard print seat covers, pink furry steering wheel, a hunge generic spoiler, and a flame paint job!

Have you seen that '84 Maxima wagon he pimped? It kicked serious a$$, though, it aint my style, but it looked good I think... HOwever, I'm going for a more subtile style, I like my car a little mysterious... black, with some chrome 8)

that one was for sale on craigslist.org a few weeks ago. Forgot the asking price. It's not there now, so perhaps he sold it.

Were you planning to put the emblem on a different grille (stock maybe)? Unfortunately, the emblem is not just a stick-on chrome piece. It's an entire plastic piece that snaps into the i35 grille.

Wow there must be some stupid people out there cuz you can get a brand new grill AND emblem for 189.00. I bid on this one up to 60.00 after that i might as well just buy a new one. BTW i wonder if Paradox will ever bring theirs back?

if he didn't have the money to fix it, perhaps the money he got from selling it went to better use.

I don't blame him, but I think it's f'd up to accept a gift just to turn around and sell it. At least he kept the DJ equipment (not listed in the ad).
