Looks sweet! Care to tell how you did that? I have been trying to figure out a way to get some mesh in there, and have it stay.

That $hit looks hot. Is that the same Ooglie grill from Home Depot? Cause I put mine in the air damn and it looks hot. I thought about putting it on the Grill but it looked too complicated. Thought I might have to remove the front bumper.

Give us a Write up on how you did it and what you used.

That is actually the grill that I have been working on.. lol

max'n out

You should take out the factory bars and then paint the factory shroud to match with the new grill and that would make it real hot.

I used gutter grill from home depot...I cut out my templates in cardboard...traced them on the meshing and cut them out...i did all the necessary cutting/ trimming before final placement...and then used plastic ties to hold them in place. Nothing on the bumper was cut out (just incase I want the factory look). I did not have to remove the bumper..just had to get my arms in behind..be prepared to bleed! I hope i answered all your q's...if not let me know.

MaxedOut2g

what do you think about the color factor though? cuz i have Pearl White Max, so would it look AS good as urs does, or would i have to get it painted?

I say .....Just do it! I think It'll look good with the white. Remember you can always go back to factory if you don't like it.

I like the grill. Good work.

Somebody posted recently that some Maxima's may come with painted grills already. I had never seen one before until last week. I saw an average looking lady cruising through the grocery store parking lot in a white one and the grill was all white. Not one thing was modded on that car. She looked average, too. Maybe she wrecked it in the front and they painted it to match at that time??? Anyway, it looked good and caught me by surprise. I cruised by the dealership later that evening to see if I spotted anymore. I saw none out of the whole lot that had painted grills.

MaxedOut2g

hey mdeal...so the painted grill looked good? cuz im planning to get that done soon....and i dont know if u got a good look but did it match really well?

Was it the exact same gutter guard you used for the lower grille? In this case I would assume it would be two or three of them (for the vertical width)? If not was this mesh available at Home Depot? How long would you say it would take to do it (now you know exactly how to do it)?

Hey I noticed you went on the outside for your lower grill? Here is my lower one..

This the bad boy you used for the main grill?

Hi, grill looks great, i've been thinking the samething, but how did u get a piece of gutter grill that big, i've been to 2 home depots and a lowe's and they only have one size. . .it's long enough, but not tall enough. . .or did u put two pieces together?

why buy the roll when you can cut them from a neighbour's fence???

i used three pieces of the gutter guard..check out the pics of my templates in my album (I think that'll make things clearer)...1 template = 1 sheet of gutter guard...the gutter guard is exactly the same stuff that Phatguy used.

PhatGuy

I went to:
http://community.webshots.com/user/bighmann

I don't see the pics of the template in there? Do you have a direct link to this pic(s)?

Thanks man!

Cool thanks for adding it!

But its to ghetto fab for me... you need to bump that song AREA CODES by LUDACRIS with that grill on.

PhatGuy

I dunno? Everyone who has seen my lower grill loves it! They have no idea it is a $3 job. My lower grill looks better live than in that picture (and I think that pic looks pretty good). Only cost $9 and a lil work so you never know how it might look..

What are the templates made out of, how did u make them, and what did u cut the mesh with?
It looks great.

Tanman

Have you thought about offering a set of these templates for sale? Maybe make them out of wood. Problem is, every Maxima on the block will get the same look as yours. Mine will be the first in Texas, hopefully.

Damn i wish I coule ditch my front licence plate. Grill looks good!

theMax

do you think this will cause the engine to run hotter because of the restricted airflow? Big H notice any temperature differences?

PhatGuy

How is it going? Are you using the gutter guard? Are you installing it on the exterior like big h or in behind?

big h

iTrader: (1)

BIG H... so you tied the gutter guard to the facoty bars with the plastic ties??

MrBurner

MaxedOut2g

big h

iTrader: (1)

hey maxed out...all i did was trace the template by a felt marker onto the gutter guard and then cut it out.

VeggieH8R

I think he means how did you trace the templates from the original grill. I was wondering that too since there isn't a lot of room to make an accuate template. Was it just trial and error?

myktek

hey do u still have the templates for the grill????
how about you go to kinko's and photocopy them and send them to me, i'll pay u for them. how does $5 sound?

heheheh, i'm lazy on tracing them myself.
