I believe Hawk's sells one. But a lot of people (including myself) don't like the way it fits. That's the only one on the market I know of. Run a search, this has been brought up before.

unfair, my trenz grill fits nicely. I will admit it takes some work to make it look good, but mine came out great. search for trenz and you will find more info

it's for thirdgens....kinda makes it look like it's smiling
I think the reason most people say it's a hassle is because it get's bent here and there during shipping....if you take the time to do it right, it will look just as good as 1992rs/ss'

the trendz grill does look to fit fairly well. The only reason i dont like it is because the bars of the grill dont follow the body line at all. If they were parallel to the lines on the bumper it would look much better IMO

your front bumber is pointed and so is the front ground effect. that is the line it matches

Here is a shot of the trenz grill i had on my camaro before it was totaled. I got a lot of compliments on it. I think it updates the look of our camaros a bit.
to install it i had to cut out the inside of the RS grill, and put the billiet one inside. It was $160 new.
now it's just sitting in my garage. it dosn't exactly fit on my TA. lol
