Actually, there's several grilles available for your car. There's a couple JDM companies that make them and Trenz has one also:

Ohh that's nice man! Where do I get the JDM? Because the Trenz seems to have problems with shipping the wrong parts lol.

MRLEXO, Persian451 and myself installed a Trenz in this car about a year ago and it took some cutting, altering, and bending to get it to fit , but it does look very good when done right.

NIce! Yeah, I had a hard time getting the grille to even fit it in and I didn't want to cut the bars and bending it back was a real pain in the ...
But, i'll play around with it. What kinds of tools did you use for the cutting and bending?

We used a small grinder to cut off the ends and bent it over a 2by4 and added spacers to mount it.....better pic below
