besides not liking the bling thing I would be worried about not getting enough air to the radiator. It may be fine since you have the area under the bumper to get air but its a concern I would have. Just keep an eye on the temp gauge in the summer time and see how its doing. Props on the work but its just not my style.

I was thinking the same thing about the airflow over the radiator.
Excellent work, though. You should make those for blingin' rigs like Navigators and Escalades -- I bet you could make some good money.
I think that might look a little better on a black rig with tinted windows and everything else blacked out.

i think it shows great craftsmanship...and i think that it would still allow enough air to flow over the radiator, theres enough gappage in there 
look at the euro and jdm grilles, they have a small inlet too, but this one was the slits between each piece of bling, which probably equals as much as the euro grilles do.... looks good too, but would look better on a black car with tint, as cliff said.....good work man. don't worry about the doubters...YOU pimp YOUR custom grille to the max and show them how it works in the summer

Yeah I got a ve5 with a blown motor (black/black). I am going to put the motor out of my 93 auto in it (after rebuilding the VTCs) and sell it. That way I dont have to finish all the body work on my 93 auto and can be done with Maxima's so I can move on to other stuff finally and clean all my parts cars and spare parts out.
It already has stuff on it (sprints/toks, CAI, addco rsb, fstb, leather). It is in pretty good shape but I am going to fix some little dings in it and paint it back factory black. Hopefully I can get what I want for it.

ummm no one said he shouldnt do it or dog him for doing it we just stated our opinions. We dont have to like it (if I liked bling on an import 4 door I would like it but I dont so I dont lol) and the air flow is a legit concern he should keep an eye on.

Is that grille slightly slanted, or is the hood just crooked? It's not my style, but you've obviously put some time into it. If you want to make it tie into the car/over all 'theme'/etc., I would recommend making something similar in place of the center trunk panel, set between a pair of GXE tail lights. Possibly add an additional peice between the lower intakes on the front, and finsh off with a set of classy chrome wheels - and I'm not talking about spinners or dubs! If you're going to do it, commit to it. If not, sell it to someone with a GXE that has good chrome. By itself, it looks like a wannabe rapper or something - IMHO.

awsm66, i wasnt saying that anyone was ******* it or whatever, just trying to give him props on his grille! inspiring some self confidence, as i call it, i know that if i worked that hard on something and i liked it, i would want some props myself 
no hard feelings eh?
and yeah he should watch the air flow concern, but i doubt its gonna be that bad
im just being a nice org-er, sorry!

give them a slight angle upward and recessed on the drivers side to blind arseholes with bad headlights 
Just watch the temps. Normal driving, these cars, probably not going to be toooo much of an issue, but still (also the stock gauge doesn't read for jack
)
nice work though

Nice Grill what model of 06 ford did u jack that from...
Nice work for sho. The grill itself will have no problem letting the intake breathe, anyone who tells you different doesnt know what they are talking about. Get a hood scoop if you need more flo the grill is ill. Peace out

West.six, If your going to add alot more chrome (in tasteful ways of course, please no rice!) Im sure it will look alot better. Definitly time invested wisely. I had 3 diffrent grils laying around my house (diffrent 3rd gen ones) and I ended up using the GXE 3 bar/chrome one insted of my flaking black one. The other one got pitched, and now i have 2 SE black 3 bars. Any one need a free stock one?

That's a great job you did creating that (although I wouldn't want it on mine, but that's an opinion that you can ignore ).
People are stating that the exposed radiator portion on the bottom would be enough to cool it sufficiently with a grill like that, but heat rises so I'm not so sure about that logic. I would keep an eye on the temps and condition of the coolant in the overflow tank just in case for the first few hundred miles or so if I were you.
