Billet Grille

What do you guys think about the Billet Grille from Trenz? Is it worth the $180? How about the Valence ($15O)? Those are Custommaxima.com prices.I'm going to get it on my 97 Pebble Beige SE Max. Just wondering what you guys thought. Do any of you know where I can get a better price...or a better looking grille?
I just started modifying my Max although I've had it over a year and a half. All I have is clear bumper lights with all hyperwhites. Dropping it a couple of inches soon.

Also something to add, are they durable, or are they flimsy and cheap looking from up close?

Personally I think that both the grille and valence together are too much for the front of a Maxima, plus the 97-99 grille is very nice. I have the Trenz Valence installed on my black 98 and I think it looks great. It is made well, pretty heavy, and stands up to the weather etc. very well. No dents or dings.

It is very durable. I know someone that has it for an 02 Altima and it looks great. I know it is durable because he was hit by a Silverado on his left front bumper and the grille just had a couple of scratches, no cracks.

it is more duarable than the stock plastic grill beacause it is good quality aluminum....they are nice and add a nice custom touch to the Maximas front end better thant the STILLEN/STEALIN "Pontiac wannabe grill SMX"....

but then again the mesh if done the right way is nice...to it is up to you...but I love my TRENZ grill and valance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My grill and valence just arrived. They are still sitting in my closet though since its late. Can't wait to slap it on, though. I hope its easier than the one for the O2 Altima (although I dont know why it would be). One my buddy put his on...he had trouble taking the stock grill off and chipped his paint.

PioPremier, that body kit looks stunning--who makes the front bumper cover? The rear hints of Sarona, but I'm guessing it isn't...
