Default Grill like N1 bumper

I have a stock bumper with N1 lip and very much I like the grill as the N1 bumper, but I do not want to buy a new bumper. Sold a similar grill similar to that of N1 bumper? Or was it something you would like to make myself at home? Thanks for the advice

Can you make yourself more clear?. hard to understand what you mean. are you asking if there is a grill you can buy to add to what you have to make it look like the complete N1 bumper?

Yes, exactly.
I'm sorry, but I don't speak very good English, so I translated this text via compiler

I think I am understanding what you are trying to say.
You have a stock bumper.You want to replicate the grille
on a N1 bumper on your stock bumper,right?
Basically,the "grille" on the N1 is a horizontal bar.I'm not aware
of any "kit" available that would offer a bar.Depending on your skill
level,fabricating a bar and installing,does not seem to be a difficult job.
You would have to cut out and/or remove the stock grille blades.Fill in
the sides/make them flush...paint black or cover with vinyl.The bar
could be fabricated from aluminum stock or a material that would fit the opening.
Could be attached by small thin brackets at each end.
Use your creativity.
Surprised someone has not come up with a kit to convert the OEM bumper to the
N1 look.The bar would be made of FG.Hardware incl.Just paint body color or,black.
You 'd be good to go!

I heard that there IS a conversion kit in the works that will convert the
stock bumper to have a N1 look.Its a "bar"(CF)that is installed in the middle
of the grill opening.The OEM grille would have to be cut out.Not a hard job.
From the pics I've seen,the front is bull nosed.Great carbon fiber finish.It
is installed with brackets at each end.Really changes the front of the dull
stock Z grill and updates the stock 350.No info on price or when available.I plan I getting one!
