Personal choice. I like my trenz alot. I always found the stock grille to be cheap looking. Never liked the fact it was plastic either.

Throw some gutter mesh in if your just looking for something different. At $1.75 a sheet you can try it out and decide whether you want to keep it or not. I did mine and it really makes a difference.

There's a meet this weekend in RI. Another meet in Natick the following week. I'm trying to pass the word around. Since you're in MA, figured you might want to come. Go check the Northeast forums. You can just click on the link in my sig. Hope you can make it.

Nvm, my sig isn't showing. :\
Go check out the regional forums anyways.

not bad, but you could have placed the zip ties in better places so you dont see them

That looks a hell of alot better than the cheap black plastic parts showing. I love the color of your max. Maybe cause mine's a 99 with the same paint.
Nissan calls it "sunlit sand", sounds nice don't it?

Ahhh I don't know about that, I got the car so cheap I couldn't complain. Honestly good old black does it for me, with nice tinted windows, so you have the all black look. I found a shop that will paint it for 1400 which isn't to bad, including the doorjams.

someone did make another grille, im not quite too sure though if it was paradox-systems or someone else. Can anyone chime in. It looked like the 95-96 grille but it would fit a 97+

Ok. I take it back. A painted S5 grill looks good. But I don't like the chrome one.

I found plastic gutter guard at home depot, much easier to work with.
