I am the FIRST person to tell people to move their pics to the member rides forum but I thought this was 4th gen related and haven't seen these ideas.

The 1st idea I actually got from a newbie (Dan_E_Boi84) and changed it a bit.

The 2nd idea was removing the bars from the stock grill. I have always wanted to do this and I think it looks cool. I'll get better pics sometime...

 

The blue material is suede by the way.

 

Hey Justin,

Teh suede looks cool, but IMO a gray or charcoal would've
been better. It's your car, you're the designer.

I've thought about doing that to my grill, but don't like
teh condenser being exposed like that. Are you gonna use any
black mesh as inserts?

 

sweet hood prop!

if your looking to spruce up your front end, check what i did to mine, if you like it im sure you could paint the mesh black or whatever, it hides looking at your raditor and horn nicely, and does something with that stupid license plate inset piece

btw the picture is a little older, i covered up the fog light bolts with perfectly cut mesh too. i bought the car with only one cover! crappy dealerships for you....

got the mesh at home depot for $7.30 for 5 sheets

 

To me, I might as well not have done it if I did those colors. I kind of got the idea from the interior "sport" suede in Audis and other high end cars. What's cool is that I can change it to pretty much anything (or back).

My grill has so many chips in it I felt no remorse sawing into it. IMO it looks pretty mean with the foglights out but they will be back in after a project. I really just did it to stop myself from buying the S5 grill and painting it black.

Also, my horn and support are sprayed black where as most are discolored and stick out really bad. Something to think about if considering the mod. I don't plan on adding mesh though I may move the horn to give it better symmetry.

 

Don't forget to get your blue suede shoes...

 

LOLLERS

 

Nice Pics Fastisnothing. Did You Have To Cut The Mesh And How Did You Install Them?

 

did you leave the top and bottom line of the grill on. looks like the top line still remains.. i love the blue. It does have that higher end look and the grill needs more closer shots

 

Very nice, I agree that a charcoal or even black suede would have matched better, but the blue looks cool. What'd you use to secure the pieces... adhesive spray?

 

sorry to take it over, i was just posting some helpful front end mod since he was talking about it. for the bottom, i unbolted the guard on the bottom just six bolts, put the mesh in there and zip tied it, the middle piece had to be cut that was a pain, took me like 2 hours to get perfect, as you can see i have a perfect line across, its 100% even, the grill was 4 peices, customly cut and lined up and glued by me, all in all its like a half day project, you have to keep lining it up to see where to cut and stuff, im sure measuring would have went faster but im lazy like that,

and for the lic. plate thing, i put it in the window, when they pull me over i show them two holes i drilled on the underside where no one can see anyway and tell them it fell out yesterday and show them the one bolt that was holding it up, they usually just tell me to put it back on, i live in a really chillaxed area. a big day for our cops is someone doing more than 20 over the speedlimit


and hes right seriously PM or get to me on aim

if your not thread starter, thanks.

 

looking good freeway,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

He is on a diet.......

 

The top and bottom lines of the grill are still on. I will have to get some pics with the hood closed soon. Thanks for the compliment.

fastisnothing, I don't mind you posting pictures at all. The thread does turn into an off-topic chat room when everyone asks questions about multiple ideas though

It's mostly n00berts and it's not a serious thread anyway so no harm done.

 

You should do the leather out with suede trim too bro, I like that color too. Im gonna do some black and white work on the inside of my car

 

I spent WAAAAY too much time looking for a blk/blk leather 5 speed to f8ck with that

 

not a fan of the grille

 

fr33way u used a dremel on the grill?? also def post pics with the hood closed from a lil further back if u get a chance. awesome, thanks man!

 

LOLz editing first post for credit. Not big on chrome but will add a shiny Nissan emblem when I get the chance.

 

It would take a pretty big wheel on a dremel. I used a small jigsaw with a fine blade. I know I should have gotten pics, I just remembered it when took the interior ones. Will update at some point.

 

Hey fr33way, I wonder what that blue would look like as a trim to teh seats..........hmm

Im kinda diggin it.

 

yoo the blue suede looks nice!!!

great job!

 

Hacking up the grille? What weight savings!

I dig the suede, it looks good. I'm not sure what I want to do with my interior yet, I'm thinking just leave the tan leather though. I think it looks good on a DP0. If I had KH3, though.... might be a different matter.

 

LOL

 

HAHA even over the tweeter.

 

I should give you a stern talking to.. seriously next time I'm in the ATL.

 

ay im feeling the black flag covers how did you do that?

 

Got any plans for your cloth interior? Pep-boys has simulated leather covers these days.

 

I'm still lighter and I JUST PICKED UP GREDDY EU for $160 shipped!! So there.

 

Nice work man looks good. You just gave me a sick idea too but its not gonna be easy. Definately gotta relocate the horn though lol.

 

I did the same thing, only diffrence was i cut out the vertical bars in the middle of the bumper.

 

Clean from what? I never had to clean my stock pieces, I don't expect these to be any different.

 

He must kick his door open...

 

freeway i like your mods i hope you dont mind nut ill be stealing your front grille but ill prollly throw my spin on it, if you couldnt tell i like it alot nice maxima dude looks fresh

 

Spin whatver you want, that's what it's about.

Thanks for the compliments.

 

im just concerned that a rock or something might damage the engine internals cause u cut the bars out

 

What? are you kidding me

 

u dont think so ? just a thought

 

no.....................................

 

.. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
