check it out! customized grille!
what do you guys think? it took me a while to make this grille, but only cause i didn't know how to go at it. i wanted it to look as factory as possible. I've never seen a grille like this one, so i decided to custom make it! i love the factory grille's in the 02-03 maximas, but they just need a little mesh... the grille could've looked a lot better if i had bought more mesh to properly fix the top and bottom pieces, (which i ended up messing up... *doh*) the bottom mesh just reflects light a little different at the bottom where it "becomes a part of" the grille. this wouldn't of happened if i wouldn't have bended the mesh to mold around the grille at the time (I ended up trying to flatten it back out... *sigh*). i'd already invested about $50, and $35 is a little steep for that mesh... ... anyhow... it looks so much better in person! hope you guys like it to! post your thoughts!

Interesting....I like it, but it would look better if you smoked the giant Nissan hamburger that you 5.5th gen guys have or paint the mesh black..
mine is similar, but not the same, and painted dk gray to match the early 5th gen grille..

here's another thought i had while making the grille... and this will all go back to personal preference. If you take the hamburger out of the front grille, and then make the top 'bar' go all the way across like the bottom bar is doing. i thought this would look great, but i don't now how to make custom molds. (yet)
