Nope, larger. Comes from the rear hatch of the QX56

Not sure if the QX56 is the same size as the QX80, but here is the size difference between stock and QX80:

Yea that looks pretty close if not same as the stuff I used. Here's a closeup to show how the upper diamond mesh matched the lower mesh (it was a little bit finer but close enough for me). What's most important is the thickness/depth, at an angle the thicker mesh is much less see-thru, giving it an OEM look to it IMO

Like 4drz, I've decided to go the custom route and have an OEM grill converted into a mesh style one.
Here's a preview (metal mesh is a placeholder, thicker ABS mesh will be final):

^well, I had originally planned to do it myself, but after much procrastination, I found a very skilled shop (through YouTube of all places) that was willing to take on the project. Glad I went this route; IMO, unlike routine maintenance or small cosmetic projects, bodywork should be done by skilled pros, of which I am not.
So far, it looks to have come out great, but I’ll receive it last this week to take a closer look and test-fit.
Finishings will be gloss black vnyl wrap, new ABS diamond mesh, and re-application of the Fuji badge. Should have updates before July 4...

Another preview, this time installed. Hope to wrap things up sometime next week. Overall, the OEM conversion grill is A LOT better than the poor-fitting CMOD grill.
Grill isn't bolted in to the front bumper, which explains the slightly-off fitment.
NOTE: following photo is NOT the CMOD grill
