Looks to be a Cefiro grille. I found a similar one on this web site, but I don't speak Russian. http://images.google.com/imgre...a%3DN

Why don't you take your stock one and cut out the slats. Then you'll be good to go.

If you want the full effect just paint it the same color as your car, tack up some mesh in place of the hole, paint it matte black, mount some fogs behind the mesh and 'wham bam thank ya ma'am' you've got a grille "just" like it!!

The first thing to consider with this grille is the fact that the hood comes down on the sides between the grille and the head lamps. I don't think the US I30s hood is like that, and I know the Maximas is not.

Well if you can't find it go to a local junk yard and buy a ****ty looking one and try it out.

I'm sure it could be done pretty easily and look pretty good.

Good luck in your search though!!
