Any cool grill inserts for the 2k3?

that grill is nice but my tastes are different, i know billit makes a grill that has a water fall in the middle that i dont like either, does anyone know if there is a billet type grill, ya know with streight lines all the way across, for the 02/03 max? i think this wold be a nice grill

I always thought a Q45/FX-style grille would look great on the 5.5gen Max.

Besides grille-tech the only other one i've seen is this one (http://www.customaxima.com/viewer/sh.../vts/design017) which I think is the "waterfall one" bugbite is talking about. I like this one over the grille-tech personally. I think the best look is when people paint their grille to blend into their car.. but since you have a silver car.. I'm not sure how that would look..

yes that was the water fall grill i was talking about, it just makes the car look silly in my opinion, i guess we will just have to wait for more grills to become available

I keep looking at your webpage and think that your car is what I want mine to look like. Any tips for a pretty stock black Max?

I wish there was more of a "Billet" style grill we can get also. I would even consider putting a Nissan hamburger in the lower corner of the grill.

Try the Trenz grille. It looks pretty decent. I have pics of my old JMS Products grille on my website like Bluesbrekr's.

Below is a link to my page that I have been selling some grilles on. I now have the lower inserts to match the upper. I don't have much material left, but I'm going to make what I can and sell them. PM me if you would be interested.

yes your grill looks awsome but my grill is already gray with a gray lister car, it might not look as good as yours does.

I've been here since 2002. I can't believe people still recommend Grille-Shrek to anyone. Has anyone not read the 5k posts about their POS products and the Org members they screwed.

IMO, now that I've had an aftermarket grille and the OEM, the OEM looks the best.

I popped off the emblem, dremeled out all the fins and the center bar. Once everything was dremeled out, bondo/fibreglassed the upper and lower bars, sanded, primed, and painted flat black. This weekend I'll be putting on a fresh coat of black since it got ruined during winter.
