stock grill looks sweet when painted body color. I have grille tech's and love 'em. people have problems with them rusting though.

I like my JMS Products grille, but have lately been thinking of going back to the OEM grille. I'd probably like it even more if I didn't have to have the front license plate on my car.

Hey Larrio what is that on your front windshield? What type of paint should be used to paint the stock grill?

eh? I don't see anything on my windshield. Unless you mean that little bar across the very top of it, thats the factory tint (very light to semi-shield light when your driving)

trey: stock grill looks nice for 00-01. The 02-03's have that big hamburger nissan emblem that I don't like. Remember, this is just my opinion. However, I do like the 02-03 bumper better.

The bottom is just a maater of snapping in the clamps from
under the car, don't have to cut anything out. for the top
I heard u can clamp it on on top of stock grille but i heard
it doesn't look good> i ad a shope cut out my grille after it was
damaged in a minor fender bender , they cut it out to big so i had
to adapt it and find a way to make it stay on, it wasn't that hard..
Make sure they know where to cut...

Street Scenes grille will not work on a 2K2, at least the ones they currently produce won't.
