big 'NE' from me. Actually looks like a BBQ grill when you reallly look at it. otherwise it just looks like your grill is missing all together

To be honest...with the exception of a few cars, like flava's, I do not like the blacked out grill. Unless you have a very decent contrast theme, the blacked out grill looks completely out of place.

^^Everyone has there own taste. I think if you had a different color car you might be able to pull it off; but I don't like it like that.

mine looks good black????


but in all seriousness it doesnt look all to bad. I think a hamberger emblem would make it look more like there is a grill. i see that you cleaned up your headlights while doing this. IMO i think AE'ing the headlights and the cornerlights, it would make it look more sleeker.

I personally don't think that it looks bad.

You really shouldn't have to change what you like just because people don't like it. All of us on this board has different tastes. I liked the Bra on my Maxima but many of the other people on here didn't like it. I just kept it on my car anyways because I thought it looks good. It's not bad to ask for opinion but don't weigh our opinions too much and do what you really like. As they say "To each their own."

not sure if someone said this I just scrolled down and typed. but if you want that similar look. Take your stock grill and tape off the main part. (being the part that sticks out) and just paint the back part black. The full black looks eh... its missing something just take your stock one paint the backdrop black please try that and re-post

i can see what you were going for, but it needs some outline to offset it. Try spraying the outter edge in a dark grey. something that shows you its there and offsets the black just a bit.

Try putting the Nissan Burger in the center... also if your going to leave it black, You should get AE'D headlights and corners, maybe even your bumper lights too.. just my .02

it might look better on a different color car, or unless you add black else where to your car. when your car is the color that it is, and the only thing black is the girll, it looks like your old one broke, and you have a replacement until you get it painted at a shop.

looks like your trying to make your car look like a honda, try putting a "H" as your emblem.
