Ok.. That poorman's post about the gutter grill thing..
I did NOT KNOW it was a 96 year thing..
I have a 97.
So the bumper is really not supportive with this thing.
I took the whole damn thing off (excuse me for my language but I was outside in the sun for more then 2 hours trying to figure this damn thing out and now I know it's for older models)
And replaced it with the grill
here are some pictures

Looks gay right?
just tell me the truth..
I'll go bang my head on the wall few times

 

Jesus, were you trying to say "$16 COSMETIC makeover"?

 

YES
THAT WAS IT!!!
I'm very tired right now and sad and im about to die here
please forgive me for that spelling error..
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
SO HOW DOES IT LOOK HU!H!?!?

 

I'm not a big fan of this type of mod. It looks like a person with his/her nose cut off.

 

its a great mod, u just gotta get it to be flush with the front, y did it cost $16?

 

When I read the topic of this thread, I thought it was going to be another engine swap idea from Sexima....

 

About 30? Hehe just kidding with ya sexima

 

Sexima, I'm only telling this to you because you're one of my only VA Maxima people, and it looks ugly. What type of cosmetic makeover is that? You were right to call it a "comic" makeover because its makes me laugh . Anyway you should try to make it flush and then it would look nice. Or you could just put the old grill back on because I think they look nice. Just trying to help .

 

hahah Vyrus, I know you want to be honest, but that sounds kidna harsh . Personally, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. But if you aren't 100% satisfied with it, take it off. I really like how maxima grills look, stock, both for 95-96 and 97+. I hope you didn't break any part of the grill

 

Vyrus Very Rude!!

 

True it was very rude, but Sexima knows I'm just joking. And if he doesn't...damnit he knows I'm just joking ! (Off the subject) By the way Sexima, how's that PR intake you got?

 

I think Sexima is a girl

 

Oh hell yea, we got another CS boy in here

 

That's what i thought. <scratching head>

Sexima... i personally dont think it matters what other people think. As long as you like it that's all that matters. After all, it is your Maxima and you are personalizing it the way YOU want.

 

Actually Synki is right. If you like it you should keep it and then you will be the only person with it. Now that's custom.

 

I thought that the $2 makeover was for the very bottom inlet really. But yeah, I also thought of doing the grill too. Let's just say it looks "different" and definitely custom.

 

um.. yea...
I took that 2 hour work of comical grill off and put the thing back on.
sigh... ^^ thanks for being so true!
hehe
Well.. I guess another 170 on the trenz grills...
sigh..

and WOW you guys play CS?
I am the king of CS,
Let's gather up and play sometimes huh?
my screen name is

[Nissan]ShinJi
or
[Nissan]Sexima

and I AM A GUY
Vyrus, you are not on AIM much anymore,
what happen man?
well, Who wanna challenege the master of CS?

 

well...it looks different...i'm really lazy so i haven't done this whole project yet on my 98 max...i've done the gaps next to the license plate...i bought a different kind of gutter mesh than u did i think...i bought the roll...i think i'm going to put the mesh over the grill on the top but nicely...i will have pictures( not soon )...unless i can get a digital camera from a friend or something

 

My damn computer broke! I sent it to Compaq for repairs but I am hoping to pick it up sometime this weekend. After all it took the almost 4 weeks! Anywayz, this computer does not have AIM and I don't ever use it so I didn't bother downloading it. After I get my computer back I'll be on AIM again...I hope...unless they erased my harddrive or something.
Later,
Cyrus

 

I think it looks nice if you put you old grill back on top also... Cause then you'll have a nice White on white effect.. Do you get what i'm trying to say... ?
Just think about it...
Just trying to help.....

 

97-99 grills are impossible to do it.
the chrome grill thingy pops out..
96.. that is a different story

personally i like the stock grill just the way it is. wit no $16 COMIC makeover. lol

 

oh i love cs.. sorry.. not helpin ya sexima, but u already know what i think..

 

it looks......ok......

 

Well guys... I did it...
I took it off and then put the stock one in
YEAP.. I DID IT...
I'm going to do it like redmax, just doing the lower parts.
Redmax, Your picture is my wall paper, nice eh~?

 

I put the mesh on my 97 and I like the way it looks. I put it in the bottom inlet, and it fits perfect. The grill itself is another story. I put the mesh behind the stock grill, but you can barely see it. The bottom piece looks good. I'm gonna leave it on for now. If I can figure out how, I'll post some pics.

 

Why didnt you tell me you play CS Damn you it gets so boring massacring(sp?) the whole team

 

i put mesh behind the grill on my moms 98, and if you park a certain way and the light hits the chrome, you can see it. on my 95 though, i put it right on top of the existing grill and it definantly shows, and looks good, i have gotten many compliments on it. people cant believe i did it for a few bucks

 

sweeeeeet
