That's a cutom built grill & you cannot purchase it anywhere. The member built it himself. Member name = Christopher. You can probably contact him & ask how he made it.

It sure do look purty. Can't blame the "disturbed" gentleman for asking. I wouldn't mind having it on my ZR.

I thought it was an intercooler between two fog lamps. Need to get my eyes checked.

Cool, I never knew if people actually like the grill / fog setup.
Here are some pictures of the grill idea in process:

grill #1 (prototype, no fogs, bent rods to contour of bumper)


Grill # 2 (prototype #2, Foglights with shorter bent rods to contour the bumper)


Final production (prototype #3, Foglights with 5 thinner aluminum rods,straight, no bend to contour bumper)

your grill look much better than most aftermarket grills out there now, imo...good job.
btw, that grill with the fog light.....makes it look like you have a intercooler in the front from far away

As you can see from all the prototypes i had, it took alot of time and effort to make the grill and foglight setup. It was kind of like a "trial and error" process. I would like to mass produce them, but they're kind of difficult to make. The material to make the grill is approx = $35-40, then another $200 for the foglights (PIAA'S) Pencil beams. The grill is all aluminum and the screws are stainless steel, NO RUSTING, EVER, and does not require any maintenance, just wash it with soap and water, doesn't really even need polishing......
If i would sell the grill, i would sell them for around $180-200, without fogs.You could add any style fogs you'd like for a cheaper cost, but i only found the PIAA's to fit perfectly, around 5" round.
