I like it. Plus it's better than a GT-R symbol. I have to make a new grill as my Cefiro grill got kinda messed up by some vandals.

VG RIDAH, sorry about the vandal incident. Good luck with the grille project what ever you decide.


I'm still on the fence with the maxima thing. It was a last second idea I had, took 3 days to finish the bish. So I'll give it a couple of days and see. Thanks again for you inputs good and bad, keep em comin.

It would look a lot better if the emblem was about 1/4 that size. Not bad, though. It's not ricey, just looks a little big.

Yeah the emblem isnt rice, but its not something that i think is desirable, maybe if you made a nissan logo and put it in the corner, it would be simple and small, but i give you props for doing your own thing.

Personnaly i think if the grill was painted satin black and the emblem was painted satin black then it owudl look god,woudlnt stand out to much but owudl notice if you looked at it...

I am not a huge fan of the silvery mesh grills,not necessarily ricey but they ar on everything...

Nozzle was ghey i'll admit it and no power goes to it so they are just for spraying liquid, now I need to find black ones. Painting the grill black will be a problem as it will reveal my lines I painted black. thanks again guys, here are a couple more pics.

I personally like the look of it. Of course I think it would look just as good without it, but whichever you like better should be the one you choose.

On the whole I'm not a fan of the 3rd gen grills. I have a 93 GXE, and a factory grill. I don't really like it, but it's still my fave of all the different factory 3rd gen grills I've seen. But I like how you've done something not seen too often. It's nice to see something pretty unique.

I thought I remember seeing something like this before. As far as I know your the first to do something like this. I also have the 5th gen maxima emblem. I'll try to put that on the upper driver side and see how that looks compared to the 4th gen emblem.

This time I went old school. This is for the first maxima I ever rode on and the reason why I fell in love with the Maxima. The lettering is a bit smaller but this is the smallest I have and Running out of lettering short of GT-R. What say you on this my fellow org.













And Happy 4th of July everyone!!! PLEASE save your body parts for next year.

I personally would keep my car as de-badged as possible for mystery and exclusivity, but your work is very unique, and if you feel good about it, stick with it!
