Street Grill
The link for the grill can be found at
http://www.stylincompacts.com/parts....makeunique=406
The Price of the grill was $220.00 Plus Shipping
The install took 1.5 hours
There was no Install cost as I did it myself.
The install was as follows:
First place the new grill on top of the old grill, using a number 2 pencil trace around the grill to make sure you do not cut too much of the old grill off.
Unscrew the entire stock grill, there is a trim on the sides that has to come off first. The instructions say the entire front facier has to be removed, but it does not.
Once the trim ring is off, cut out the entire center of the grill with a sawsall or whatever device you have for cutting plastic. Remove the old grill. Make sure all the edges are smooth where the old grill came out, slide the new grill into the trim ring than snap it in place.rescrew the grill in place. Use discretion when cutting out the old grill out. and your ready to barbecue.
That's it in a Nutshell, you will have to play it by ear.

The valence installs in less than 20 minutes. The piece installs from the front and the clips are installed from the rear of the valence. You first must remove the splash guards located directly beneath the front bumper. Very easy. You might have difficulty fitting the valence grille into place with the AE front lip installed. The opening looks a little smaller than the 2000 without the aero kit. Simply remove the front lip, install the valence grille, and reinstall the lip. Might take you 40-45 minutes. I'm not sure if this is necessary though. No cutting is involved with the valence grille. Peace.

I would have painted it but I didnt want to worry about the paint chipping. It would have looked like $hit in 2 months. I took it back off today and did a little fine tuning. If you noticed in the pic you can see the white hood latch. So I went out today and bought some flat black spray paint and painted it. Now it looks a lot better. I also painted some of the bumper behind the grill too. You could also see that when you were close. Now its perfact. Pic will come later today

If you have anything other than the Icelandic Pearl paint, you won't probably have to paint the latch, except maybe for the Sterling Mist. I've got Superblack, so I'm set to install, as soon as I get the Main grille piece. Everyone can check it out at Maxus, if I receive it in time to install. Peace.

I was going to put the emblem back on but I didnt like it. It looked less agressive. It would be easy to put back on. Its on the stock grill with glue, and has two pointed peices that stick out so I was able to put it on without glue take a step back and take a look. The grill emblen didnt look that good on the new one. Its a solid peice, the inner part right under where it says NISSAN is atatched. You might want to buy on off a 4th gen trunk so it would be a hollow circle around the the word NISSAN. I put the emblen on the asstray/change holder. Looks better there.

Re: Street Grill
I read your instructions...on how to remove the main grille (bars in the middle of the ring)just want to make sure. I can see that the ring stays...but thought after taking all those screws from the inside the ring, the bars can be moved as a unit. thanks
