Sorry for the delay on the pics. I have been away for drill. The manager of a local speed and sport shop began making these grills apx. a month ago. They have been a pretty big hit around here. They are made up of a stainless steal mesh that he clear coats. You can paint them any color you wish if the stainless look is not your style.

There are 3 different ways of attaching the bottom two grills. You can take the easy way out and use small stainless steel screws and attach them at designated spots in the bumper. You can also use a strong epoxy and adhere the grill to the lip located in the bottom two openings. The best way to do it, but the most challenging is to take stainless steel wire ties and tie it to the plastic supports located behind the openings. (The screws, epoxy and the wire ties are all included with the grills)

You have to send your factory grill so he can customize it. You can send it priority mail and he will complete it and send it back the same day that he receives it. You cover the S&H to him and he will cover the priority S&H back to you.

He was selling this 3-piece grill for $165, but if you are a member of Maxima.org he will charge you only $140.

Please let me know what you think and if this grill interests any of you.

Thats cool and all, but cant we do this for like 10 bucks by going to home depot and doing it ourselves? Thats a pretty easy mod that a lot of people on this board have already done...

can't you just make that by removing the grill insert and adding a mesh grill(avaliable at your local homedepot)

Is there a DIY site for this mod?

I am only the messenger. I thought the grills that he make are phat. He has that 3-piece set painted white on a Navy Blue Maxima. (That looks relaly phat to me) I tried that little Home Depot trick and the metal dulled and looked like crap even after I clear coated it. Not to mention the time it took me to cut it out and make the pieces fit. Plus he takes the fatcory grill out and dremels out most of the grill, leaving only the black ring. Then he sands and smoothes the plastic and paints it. Then he applys the stainless steal wire mesh grill. I posted it because I think that it looks sweet and I thought that some of you might like it and want it for your car. Just trying to be helpful.
