I was wondering what people do this grill? I want to do somethng to it. I removed the Nissan sign. any ideas is needed and pics will help

 

I cut the whole black part out and left the painted part on the car then I got some mesh grill and put it were the emty space was, looks nicer that how the stock one looked. sorry no pics I aint got a camera exept for the one on my phone

 

look at mine..i dremeled out the black mesh part of the grill..and put some medium mesh home depot grill there.. i painted it truck bed black and clear coated it..mroe pics on Homepage.

 

I really like the Sarona Grill #2, put some wire mesh and that. I'd do that if i had the money, but for now Im with the trenz insert

 

i have a pecie of mesh that is already cut out to perfection.Just put it over the grill and it looks awsome. I do not have any pics cause i am a 97 but i have a 95-96 grill.

 

im going to do a 97-99 conversion and put a trenz grille or s5 grille

 

How do you all do that, I dont want to take anything off the grill except the black honeycomb style grill, I want to replace it with mesh grill, BUT I want to see some home made ones, and a pic of the TRENZ grill on the top and the valencces. I have a 95.

 

is it hard to do it though? I mean to cut the the grill and how did you put the mesh grill in? how did it look in home depot(silver)? I want to do it but need instructions if it isn't too hard?

 

mine is painted gunmetal it looks really sharp on a black max

 

grill out of homedepot is a fencing silver/grey color. tha looks ugly so i painted it black. use truck bed paint cause it has high scratch tolerance.

yes, all i did was cut out the honeycomb black part with a dremel ont he stock grill.. i left he painted grill borders that the 95-96 has.. i actually like this look beter than the 97-99. i dont like how the 97-99 grill touches with the headlamps.

it was easy to put the homedepot on the painted borders. when u cut the homedepot grill, cut about an extra inch or 2 on all the sides.(use the part u dremeled out as an outline) then fold the steel mesh grill along the curves of the borders. i used this tar like black plumbing glue to get it to stick.. im sure a glue gun/resin/good quality double sided tape would work too. make it messy if you want cause all the glueing is behind hte borders. and no one will see. have fun.. sorry no writeup with pics.. PM me if you have quetions.

 

What Dept. did you find the grill at home depot?

 

outdoors/gardening. its in a roll. they have fine mesh, medium mesh and largemesh. make sure its steel mesh. the plastic ones wont hold up the wind resistance. i used medium mesh.

 

dont use the mesh on a roll!! use Gutter Guard, it comes in 6"x3' (i think) a pack of 5 (again i think) is about $6.....well i dont rember but its cheap. I didnt cut the original grill, i laid the new grill over the old one and zip tied it.. I painted the mesh with silver paint too.

Maybe i can find my write up i did.

 

That dang grill looks sweet as hell

 

that looks cool.. but i stll like mine better. :P looks meaner when the grill sits deeper inside the grill borders.. try painting a black one and making a grill your way.. id like to see how that looks.. i thikn the silver stands out a little to much IMO.. but sweet job and it looks clean.

 

How about if we made a mesh grill for the bumper holes? they look ugly and I was thinking of coveringthe holse also. how will that look?

 

u cant see it in the pics cause my grill is black and the holes are dark.. but i covered my bumper holes too. used the same grill same paint.. looks nice.. but taking off bumper will cost you about an extra hour or 2.

 

so you did it actually. I am thinking of doing it too cause I don't like the mounth looking opening on the bumper. Does it actually look nice? plus my bumper is off right now cause I am painting it. easy or hard?

 

i got the stuff from grille-tech for both the grill and the bumper holes... kinda expensive ($90 for all three) but instalation takes about 10 minutes and it looks good... and you don't have to cut out the honeycomb in the stock grill.

 

i put the trenz grille from custom maxima on mine, looks good IMO.

 

Is it possible to put on the mesh without taking the bumber off? Like getting under the car some how.

 

I don't know if it is possible without taking the bumper off cause never tried to put one on. But my bumper is off anyway so will go to homedepot and make my grills black. where did you get the paint from Max Noob? And did you clear coat it?

Making your own grill is cheaper and to cut the honeycomb grill is the best way cause if you put inserts on the grill itself, you will still see nissan emblem.

 

Or if you need another option you can buy the grill I'm selling. Stillen SMX grill. You can look at it on my homepage or on Stillen's website.

 

black tru k bed paint from any auto parts store.. i got mine from kragen.. 2 or 3 coats of truck bed paint. plus 1 coat clear coat.. also from kragen..

no i dont think it is possible to do without taking off bumper..but if u can find a way. let me know..

 

how do you put on the bumper mesh grill on from the inside? it looks like it can only be put on from the front because of the plastic pices in the bumper.

 

yep
