I'd color match that grill and stick an 3G Altima size 'NISSAN' badge on it.

I'd also go with the black. The only worry I would have, however, is that those types of grills make your maxima look more like a Ford? Just my opinion, though. Does anyone else see it?

Another thing.... if ya do go with those GT grilles... watch out for rust... some people have said that they rust easily, so to be safe, I'd add several layers of clear coat to the grille before ya install it.... just a thought....

Anyone ever attempt match-painting their factory grilles on a 00-01? Doesn't sound like it'd work but i was just wondering cause puppetmaster made me think of it.

someone here had a majestic blue one, and painted the grill body color, and it came out fantastic. i tried to get my g/f to do hers while it was at the bodyshop.....she didn't want to pay the extra money to have it done. i recommend it.

same here, i recommend getting the OEM painted the same color as the car, stands out and looks great. Once the summer comes i plan on having it done to my car as well.

deck, if u find pictures let me know... I havent seen it on a majestic blue car yet.

Which one to use depends on color of car. I like the design either way.
