I think you would need a second grille. Dremel out the section where the emblem goes on the original. Cut the section needed to fill in the line from the second grille and seal in place. You could fill in with some spot puddy, sand it down and paint.

That's just a guess though... If you found his pic on Cardomain then you should ask him what's up.

I think it's somewhat like mines (see signature). Sorry I took the picture at night so it's hard to see. I did a 5.5 conversion and brought a new Chrome Grill. Instead of the nissan emblem, it came with a plastic going across to connect the grill. I guess if you brought a regular non-chrome grill then it'll look like his grill (maybe you'll have to paint it black). And I think you'll also have to dremel the little circle that's suppose to be the backing for the emblem. I was planning on doing just that, but instead of black, paint that part chrome to match my chrome grill so I made a thread on it few days ago. According to the responses, it'll cost me an arm and 2 legs to paint something chrome, so I'm contemplating on just getting the emblem =X.
