Yep. I was thinking it looked photoshopped too. Knowing me though, I'm probably wrong.

I dont like it much something looks wrong there. Yah I would have to agree it looks like a cts. I wounder how it will look like with a hood scope like the V6 mustang and 99-00 gt style hood or 4runner style hood with that grill.

trenz grilles are gross...i don't like it either way. i saw a better one that was reminiscent of the 2k2/3 grille, only without the nissan emblem that lookes MUCH better

Look's photoshoped to me, the reflection of the photographer is identical, unless he painted a mark on the ground to stand in the same place at the same time of day.

well i didn't photoshop it. if you right click the picture and look at properties it tells you the web address it's linked from. i still think it's better than the tooth thing.

Anyone notice how more Nissan's are getting the ugly grill? The new Sentra and new Quest (minivan) both have it.

mitsbishi is kinda doing the same thing. they all use a grill similar to the one on the evo 8. the endeavor has it now too. but at least theirs looks good.

I think that aftermarket grille looks tight, it's much better than the stock one and even though it somewhat resembles the CTS it isn't a direct copy.

On the other vehicles the Tooth doesn't look out of place but somehow on the Max it looks too big and it doesn't compliment the vehicle the way the pic of the aftermarket grille does.

Looking at the replacement grille, I might go and buy me an 04 now that they have something to replace that hideous Tooth.
