Thanks.Got the idea from your car.
Not if you get the right tire size for the maxima.With the 245 45s it rubs with 2 or more people in the back on the passenger side.

Your car looks great, but I can't believe you haven't swapped those 194 bulbs for superbright or highoutput LEDs. That yellow look from the regular bulbs just kills it.
Also what rims are those?

The stock bulbs that come in the sidemarkers are regular "white" incandescent 194 bulbs, but they look yellow in a clear housing. If putting bulbs in a clear housing and you want them to look white, you have to go with white LEDs or HOPE the blue-coated incandescent lights will actually look white instead of green or still yellow.

Those look just as yellow as my clears did before I put LEDs in them, I'm just pointing it out.
I'm actually considering doing this to my grill now... I might black it out with semigloss + the same with headlights if I do that, though. I'm not sure if body color really does it for me.

I agree with Squirrel82, modding the grille takes way too much time, that's its not worth doing for a price.

secret!
Mine also keeps the middle bar supporting the 'fins' fwiw. the 'bar' can be removed upon the customer's request.
Anyone who thinks $275 + shipping for a custom molded grill, 2 different coats of 2 different colors of paint put on professionally then i'm sorry. i can't offer it any cheaper or it wouldn't be worth doing it.
This isn't a cheap modification.
Nor is it easy to do as Squirrel82 i'm sure can tell you. I think he said 16hrs or labor. It can be done with less but it's still VERY time/labor consuming and you have to wait between colors etc...
It is however rather unique.
I'm looking into being able to offer this with a brand new grill so i'll not need the customers if i can get this deal with a local supplier worked out. however a new grill will mean an increased price. i'm only looking into it as an option for people so they don't have to send theirs to me. New or used they look the same once they are done.
edit: sorry i'm not trying to hijack your thread man! i should start my own.

I know it's been a while since you put it in, but nice work. Only problem with such a nice mod like that is it makes everyone want to jump on the bandwagon, which I suppose is counterintuitive, as the very essence of modding is to differentiate your whip from everyone else's. But once again, it looks clean man
