The grill needs painted as well, IMO. Your car looks like a metalmouth.

I guess it looks okay, but I'm not really liking it too much. Creative, but something is missing. Maybe if you paint it black like suggested.

i'd paint it black or al0 if i had black r34s and rims and body color door handles.
what i'm going for is ruby pearl/chrome exterior and full black interior.

Hmm, yeah a bit too much I think. Smashing effort though and I think if you paint either the top or the bottom it'll contrast much better.

honestly, this thread is pointless. you made all the necessary comments yourself. you like it, you know most people don't, but you don't care because it is your mod. of course you like it.

I dont think it looks that bad. It might look better if it was black or a dark gunmetal...or if that opening was filled with a FMIC.

I got the same stuff that you have on your bumper on my grill. It looks decent. In your case I would match the material at least.

i had thought about cutting out the "bar" on the lower opening as you did, but now that i actually see it i'm not so sure. i think if the bar was still there it'd look nicer but it's not bad.

the "painting MAXIMA on it" idea sounded pretty good. sure couldn't hurt.

Dude, Dave and all you other haters, Allen's got a Huge point.

Let me foremost say that i am Completely and Totally Against Loud Annoying Exhaust's, Flashy Ghetto Cars, Stupid Mods, and Systems that sound like @$$.

But yaknow what, hes right about one thing. Modding has become quite Snobby.

People ask oppinons, casue well.. Their supposed to want an honest oppinon. In that aspect their all very screwed when others dont like it. But its their car, so it doesnt matter right?

Well look around fellow Org'ers, every single person on here whos got a super nice maxima that not Unique in some way has done their car up the Same way. Usually. By Throwing Money At It.

Weather it be Cosmetically or Performance Wise. Its All The Same. What we Need. Is more Creative Minds. Im tired of everyone talking and reading about these STUPID CAI'S and These Y-Pipes off Ebay. The Stillen Lip Kit. What Happened to making Your Own Stuff, DOING IT YOURSELF. MAKE SOMETHING OF YOUR OWN!~

Who cares How Ghetto It Is! Performance PWNS Cosmetics Of ANY item ANY DAY.

He likes his grill. I hate it. Does that mean he should take it off? No. it means he should reasses weather hes trying to Please the Org or if he really likes it.

this is not Allens 10 Minutes of fame, this is his 100 Post Beating! and hes taking it Damn Well. So why not give credit where its due. he did this Himself, He likes it. And Im POSITIVE that hes not the Only One who does. He did something DIFFRENT so why dont you?

I don't understand why you didn't mount the mesh w/o rivets? Would've looked so much cleaner. Top and bottom mesh needs to match at the very least.....

i'll get the mesh matching. i thought about mounting the mesh without rivets but...i've caught a few rabbits, birds and a skunk in the front already so i figured the rivetted mesh might stop the little bastards.
