Gentlemen,
I'd like to replace all the chrome parts on my D21 Hardbody with black/gray ones.

I stumbled across this OEM picture of the South American version of the truck:

Does anyone know if those OEM grille components are available through NISSAN in the US?

Thanks in advance.

I think a simpler and possibly cheaper solution would be Plasti-Dip. If you do a search through the NICO forums you'll find lots of posts on the subject.

The Front Grill and Frontend as shown,, is what I had on my 1993 Nissan KC 4cyl AT, purchased in U.S.A.

The Front Bumper was Painted Steel.

Drove that '93 for 20 year's. Still running good when I got a '13, and sold the '93.

Hey man, first of all, thanks for fixing the image link. I wound up having to upload and re-host the image, the original host does weird things.
Regarding plasti-dip, I've done a lot of research on it and even purchased several cans, but decided against it. If I can find OEM parts, it would be better for me.

Thanks for the info, good to know those grilles were sold in the US as well.
The eBay link you posted seems to be an aftermarket grille. I will see if I can find the NISSAN PN for the grille out of a '93 KC AT. Was yours XE or SE? Was it 4x4?

Thanks, all.

My '93,, was designated D21 Pickup, 4cyl, KC, AT, 2wd. No other designation.

I get a lot of Genuine OE part's off of Ebay, sold by Nissan Dealership's.

Look's just like the one that came on the '93.

Good Luck
