MAC truck grill and Lincoln Continental comes to mind.....

Take the bars from an 18 wheeler???

What do you honestly think of it? Love it? or just trying something new and gathering opinions??

I think with some chrome wheels it will accent nicely.

Horizontal would look better. Along with some chrome rims to continue the theme.

Well......

Really not feeling it. It just does the car no justice. I love the merlot Maximas. The grill draws your eyes away from the car, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Hope you were looking for honest opinions.

Imo,stock grill looks much better unless you paint it.The chrome stands out to much.

I bet it would look better painted black or merlot. I love that color though. Found an 03 TE, but it was in Seattle...

NO OFFENSE, i dont like the grille, it looks to lincoln or truck like.

Ive got a merlot max as well, but mine is a 2001, Any one have any grille options for a 2001?

It might look good in smoked chrome. The bright chrome is too much on a darker color car.

as in... chrome wheels

i dont like chrome on maximas by any means, or on most vehicles (which is why my bike has as little chrome on it as possible) but with that grill, it looks out of place. chrome wheels (the right set) would bring it all together

also, sorry to offend your tastes. i forgot that only your opinion matters.
