does anyone have a pic of a 5th gen with this streat scenes grill painted body color? I'm undecided of whether or not to paint it keep it like this or just paint my original grill black when I get my paint job...

 

IMO on black cars, it just comes out looking like you don't have a grill at all. Looks much better on any other color.

 

Id still like to see what it would look like, i'm sure it would flow alot better with just the chrome trim on black. Which is what im going for...

 

paint it black, then put a hamburger on the front, that looks nice.

 

yeah, if you leave the grill like that .. get some like 18" chromos or something to go with the grills!!!! that will fit perfectly, and if you dont mind me asking but where do you get those HID halo headlights .. cause i do want to get me a pair !!! i have a 2000 maxima

 

consider a dark grey.....or something high gloss for sure. that way it doesn't look like your grill is missing....

J

 

get them on ebay 250-300$

Yeah i would paint it and leave the chrome lip around and put an emblem up fornt

 

Can you please give me the website of where you bought that
grill

 

I never liked those grills, but it looks sweet. Is it different from all the rest or something? Oh and by the way I agree with GBAUER it will look as if you didn't have grill at all. You should paint it an off the wall color. Like yellow.

 

For the set or each?

 

I say paint the grille you have on there, it'll still have that shine effect to it. that chrome is too much for the front...Or just stay with the factory grille and paint it same color as the car...either way its still visible and DOESNT look like its missing...and if you keep that aftermarket grille, put on the Hamburger like the guy above said haha

 

by hamburger they mean the emblem from the 2k2-3 which will look really good.... before i changed my 2k to 2k2 front bump i just changed to the 2k2 hamburger and what a difference! go for it..

Thank you all for your replies...

That was a dry fit just so I could see how it would look on the car, nothing was cut so I probably would put the "hamburger" back on top. I just wanted to see if anyone had a pic of how it would look being black (or body color) with the chrome out line. I'd do it in photoshop but it doesnt look very realistic. I am getting 18's, black with a chrome lip to continue the look.

I got the upper and lower grills from:

Here's a similar black grill on black max....

I always thought that grill would look sweet smoked.

 

the grille looks weired because its a diamon shape, i perfer the round ones. and please, no chrome wheels!!!!

 

thanks knight, thats what I wanted to see...i'm going to powder coat the grills and keep the chrome outline. Thanks for the help.

*edit* the holes in these grills are circular teufelhunden.

 

unfortunately digital cameras cannot focus very well on the diamond pattern. Looks much better at full size 3000 pixels but way to big to post.
