imo the only mod you should consider with your grill is a badgeless one. otherwise dont touch it. you'll regret it. i do.
see sig, i have the ss grille for 5th gens and i wish i had stayed stock.

Otherwise, you should count your oem grill as an option if you can.

This one has grown on me.
I've considered removing the Nismo emblem and installing a Nissan burger in the center. I may try it with another peice of mesh and see.

Always wanted to see one installed and in-person. As of yet, I've not been able to bring myself to buy one and see. The mesh behind the c-mod grill is a bit of a turn-off (in pictures), and I rather like the Nissan burger.

But I did create a thread last year exploring this idea on my car with some photoshop visuals. Here:http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...n-options.html

Regarding the "light blue", I also said this in that thread:

yeah...i guess i read it too quickly..
for now...i removed the grill..painted it flat black with some Trim paint...removed the burger, primered it and painted it the same color as the car. looks pretty good...but i really liek the grill with the horizintal slats..rather than just all mesh. looked on ebay and didn't see anything like that there.

upload them there, then they have a handy "IMG" code all ready for you, just click it, it copies automatically, then paste it into your post here on the .ORG
If you can't figure it out, google it. Lots of instructionary vids, etc.

I'll admit, I was expecting to think it would look silly. But it actually made a good first impression. Kind of a shocker to see you painted the letters red, but it makes sense that if you went dark with the burger, the letters needed to go light. I'm on the fence about the red... however, my engine cover burger has red letters, and I love it there.
Not bad, man. I think... I like it.
Props for creativity!
Shame about your foglights, but that's an easy replacement. Odd thing about your headlight lenses... must be the water that's making them look that way.

yeah...i have one that has some moisture in it...not sure how to clear that issue up...comes and goes. both foglights were broken, but i found one good one and hopefully will have another soon. i only bought the car last fall......
After i painted the burger the dark charcoal...the "nissan" could hardly be seen....in hindsight..maybe a light grey or even silver would have been better than the red....maybe i will buy a couple of the burger badges and try some different paint schemes.
ideas anyone?

Or just don't put LED strips in your headlights. That's a pretty good idea, too.
