With the weather turning I'm looking for a new mod for the front. I love the look of custom grilles but there doesn't seem to be much options. Does any one have any good ideas and I'm looking for an easy DIY install type?

Thanks in advance.

 

paint it either body color or black, that's what i'm doin to mine in two weeks

 

anyone else do the home depot grill? I was thinking about giving it a try.

 

I've always liked the look of the Street Scene grille.

 

home depot is the way im thinkin of goin

 

some one make a good write up of the home depot one. I would love to give it a try.

 

Irish has one on his cardomain.

 

i like the shape they have. they're not flat like the grille-tech ones. but i do like my grille-tech lower inserts. but i'm thinking about putting the street scenes ones for the lower instead.

 

 

I'm also partial to the Street Scenes grille, I think it looks great. And not just saying that because I own it.

 

do you have any pics?

and on a side note i'd like to see how those clears corners look on your sterling mist because mine is the same color and i'm looking into getting a set. thanks.

 

Go with the SS grille. You can get them on the Stillen Website. There are two different methods of install, one in which you imply put it in place, the other is where you have to disconnect the bumper and cut out the OEM grille. The SS grille is very sturdy and very classy. Well worth the time and effort.

how difficult is the lower grille install?

 

If you are referring to the SS valence grill, it is cake. Just take the fasteners out to lower the front of the splash guard on the front of the car for easy access and then follow the directions from there. 5 minutes.

 

no drilling or anything permanent like that?

 

Nope, nothing permanent, and it literally takes 5 minutes. 7 if you're drunk.

 

haha i'll have to hold off on the beer until AFTER i've installed it. where's a good place to get this?

 

Click me!

 

ouch. that's twice as much as i paid for my grille-tech.

 

shrug, maybe it's twice as cool - dunno, never seen the grille-tech live and up close - this one's nice and heavy, a solid piece of metal if you will and didnt rust at all this winter even with all of the crappy philly weather ... dont know your experiences related to that with the grille-tech but if it didnt rust, then friggin' A, comes down to personal preference i guess

 

my grille-tech

the pic is kinda dark but you get the idea. you can see more pics on their site (http://www.grille-tech.com/detail.html?prodid=106) i have the silver diamond one.

 

X, there is no reason to even suggest the grille tech grille as they do not have them for the 5th gen models. The original thread was for a 5th gen grille, I don't know how a 5,5 gen grille hijacked the thread...

 

you're right dude i'm sorry. didn't realize it was originaly for a 5th gen.

 

Yeah, gitch 'er half a liter out of here!

 

lol

Don't be hatin' on a half liter...if I knew there was that much of a difference btw the 5 & 5.5 gens I would have gotten one, too!

 

*Whispering* Shhh! If they knew we desired that extra half a liter they'll know our weakness!

 

Well, I guess this doesn't apply to the original poster, but for you 5.5 genners, I've always liked studman's setup quite a bit:



He has the top listed as a "JMS Products Inc. Brushed Aluminum 1/2" Diamond-Cut Grille." Looks perfect with that Nissan badge slapped on there.

 

that looks amazing!!

 

Whoops!

 

this one is hot
