I can't see the pics. Maybe a problem with the place you stored those pics? Maybe it's just my comp.

And no......this is not a photoshop. I basically made this grille just like Geo1317. I dremeled out the middle bar from the stock grille, then i filled in the holes in the side posts with bondo and filler. Sanded, painted and reinstalled the home depot mesh grille. I then took my nissan emblem....painted it black and hand painted the letters silver.

Here's geo's cardomain: http://maxima.cardomain.com/ride/202250 where i got the idea from.

License plate looks alright. New grill is pretty ugly, I liked your old one.

It's diff, but like everyone else, I like your old grille better. But why be like everyone else I say. Keep which ever one you like. For some odd reason, the AE mod seems out of place on your car. The color of your car maybe?

i live in jersey....n if i can get a ticket for having a dealer licensen plate cover, you know the ones with the lil black trim around it that says the dealer's name that you got it from. i'm pretty sure that since half ur license plate is gone, cops gonna be pulling u over for that...might as well as stuck it on ur windshield

It looks nice, although it was hard to pull away from the headlights! Those things look freaky.

yea the lights do look a little out of sync and the lenses or angel eyes look weird, but glad to see that someone is doing something to their car that few have done with the grille...

it makes your car look like a 95-96, convert it back. the stock grille line is always hotter than any aftermarket/custom grille imo

its not difficult....takes about 5 min. Just 2 self tapping screws...drill up....then bend the plate down. The plate isn't behind the bumper and its still viewable and in the front.....don't think theres a problem.
