I bought grille tech grille inserts for my max a few months back and it looks sweet with the painted black nissan emblem, but now they are rusting and look like crap i sent them a letter and the said with the instructions that i have to wax or WD-40 my grille frequently to prevent this from happening. Well i didn't read that part because i didn't look at the instructions. I didn't even know they had any i means its pretty self-explainitory. They also said the 60 day rust warranty is up and they can't do anything about it. I mean like i have time to be waxing my grille every couple days. Anyway i'm not spending another $90 to get a new one from them. Anywhere else i can go where their product won't rust in a couple months? I know about the home depot grille and the trenz grille. Home depot grille is nice, if you get it right. I just don't have the patience to do it, i already tried it once. The trenz looks nice on a hooked up 97-99 max but not on a mostly sock looking 95-96 max in my opinion. Or is anybody still selling home made grills that look nice and are clear coated so they don't rust. I wnat the whole thing top, middle, and bottom. Well thats it thanks for any help you can give me.

 

Try painting your grill. You did say it was a 96 grille right? Paint the stock one silver. The product looks absolutely amazing. It gives the car a subtle yet agressive look. I have a dark green max and painted it silver and it could possibly be the best exterior mod I have done. Give it a try. Later

 

Do you guys think i should paint the grille tech grille and clear coat it?

 

i agree with him on that one, painting it silver makes it look perfect and its really not hard to do, i painted mine last week, i also have a dark green 96 and i personally think it looks better then the aftermarket grills, i would sugest some type of clear coat on it where as i didnt and its starting to come off in the rain...but anyway just my .02

 

Does anyone have pics of the stock 95-96 grilles painted silver?
and what type of spray on clear coat could i get?

 

what about the two bottom gaps in the 96 max what would you do for them cause I want to cover them up too?

 

Here is a pic of a silver painted grille and looks very similar to mine. I just used a silver spray and clear i picked up at a local shop.

Sounds like a good plan. Should work.

 

When i first saw your ride i thought you had a mesh grille.
Looks amazing. Weekend project. Thanks for the pic and btw you have one really nice and clean max.

 

Do the Home Depot Grill. I've had mine on there for almost a year. No rust, No fading, and strong as hell. Took a bird out at 65 mph - NO DAMAGE. It took me two days (after work) to cut it out and secure it with fishing line, but is well worth it. Check the Homepage for more pics.

 

For the guys that painted their grilles silver, what did you use? And is there any clearcoat, etc. necessary as well?

 

i just used some chrome paint i got at autozone and it gave it a nice silver but its not holding up because i didnt use any type of clear coat but im sure almost any type would work
