look at my sig also
I just went to my Lowes (I don't have a Home Depot) and looked for Gutter Guard.... it was like $1.08 for one piece, pretty cheap. All you do is cut it in the desired shape and you CAN put it over the grill thats already there (which is what I did). Then, I cut a hole in the mesh so that the NISSAN emblem could be seen. I fastened it with some thick wire that I also got at Lowes (the wire was silverish looking, so it blends in with the mesh)..... overall, it must have taken me about 30 minutes total, but I didn't do the bottom... only the top of the grill (with the NISSAN EMBLEM)
hope this helps!

It's available @ Home Depot. I think it looks good, you should also add a clearcoat to it to prevent rusting... all i did was spray silver paint onto it. It's also the perfect length for the maxima.
BTW- I'm not totally sure about the difference in length w/ the 95/96 bumper... although i have a 96, i converted my front to 97+. good luck and be careful not to cut urself.

Re: Re: Re: Home Depot grill...
I remember this guy that had a signature picture of his car in it he portrayed the front bumber area showing off his grill. Then he had a link to his website were he would manufacture the grills and send them to you for about $20. Does anyone have a link to his page or know who he is. Thanks in advance...

There's no mesh grills at the home depot's near my house...that's too bad. But I found a grill made for cars for the price of 25 $CND. That's about $US15. Not bad hun?
How did you guys attach the grill to the bumper? and how did you make the exact shape for the grills?

To make the exact shape of the grill... you just have to measure it and make it fit.
I don't understand what you mean when you say "patterns"
Here's a pic of how mine came out:

I tried it and scratched up my car cuz i couldn;t get it to fit right after a few hours. I'm kinda lazy and tried to make a cut out but it didn't work and I don't know. I think I'm gong to order it from grille-tech, nice and easy. I know it's stupid but hey thats me. It comes all clear coated with the rubber around the edges so it daesn't damage my car like I did. I know this is a little off topic but where do I get a nice bra... for the front of my car not me.
