Hi boys, I was wondering without looking through the entire member's rides section, if anyone could give me a link or pic of a 98-99 white Max with the black part of the grill painted white.... I had a collision with a useless 2wd truck this winter and broke my front bumper. I'm dropping it off at my body shop tomorrow after work to have a new front bumper put on. I was wondering if while he was painting if I should maybe have the grill painted white also for a different look, or just leave it black. Any feedback or pics from you "looks" experts would be great. Thanks!! Woo hoo!!! spring is here!!!

 

well u can use any se from 97-99 not only 98-99, also the white grille with the white paint where it should be black looks ugly, and it also gives u away-meaning anyone looking at it can tell it might have been in a front end collosion

if u lok at Leo_Koneval avatar u can somewhat c wat it might look like

 

MOHFPro90 has a white grille

 

he doesn't take pics often...

 

Hi and thanks for the feedback. Okay, I will leave it black and follow your advice...I did think about the perpetual stone chips....
Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.

 

I saw a white car with lug nuts painted white, to each their own.

 

don't do it

 

black

 

Haha you could paint it another color other than white I tried white before and it make the whole front end look strange somehow, unless you have the body kit

Thanks maxfever for mentioning me, whether it be good or bad hahahaha! But whatever you do don't go with chrome instant paint, this is a picture of it being freshly painted and is less than two days old, but now my grille is a silver metallic color with the Nissan symbol not painted and chrome like it normally is.

 

I wonder about this, my friend's 4th gen was like that when he got it, plus I've seen several other maximas with the painted grill. All white, and all with the gold emblems and whatnot. Was it ever an option?

 

i dont like the look. if anything paint it darker black so less shows up.

 

yea white grille is hideous. stay away.

 

That's what I did to mine:

Oh man you just set me a new project with those AE style headlights. I'm so doin that soon.

And to give to the thread. All white grill = No

I painted mine all white, put it on, took it off 5 minutes later, sanded what I could back down and painted it black.

 

looks better with the black grill...

 

They're talking about painting the black part white dave, lol. I painted my chrome part white(couldn't find a white grille for el cheapo)

I personally love the look of mesh grills
