How come we don't have a grille option similar the the inset mesh look that the Altima S5 and Maxima S4.1? We need one...vendors, what say you?

Yeah, I'm not too big of a fan of grille tech honestly...the majority of the grilles are polished/ugly. I'm looking for a meshed matt-black grill with some sort of fiberglass housing surrounding it, like the to aforementioned grilles in the title.

 

I thought about this a long time ago, and think it could look pretty good. We do have a big grille opening, but if it had a fiberglass surround like the AT grilles, it might sway me away from the painted OEM look.

 

-yeah, I've wondered before why there don't seem to be a lot of aftermarket grills for the 5th/5.5 gen... I just don't like ANYTHING I've seen. I'm really just a fan of the OEM 5.5 gen grille. And yours DOES look really good painted like that... I wish my car was black... sigh...
P.S. - Is that a dummy in your profile pic zero2sixtyZ? cuz if it is, I totally did that once in high school... friend had one laying around from a movie he made or something and we put him in the trunk just like that and drove around... dumb I know... but yeah.. haha

 

I wondering if Active Tuning might be interested in producing something. I know they're grilles are by no means cheap though, haha.

 

that is hot.....never thought about that man

 

Which one? The AT type grille option or just painting the OEM?

 

Thank you, and no that's not a dummy. That is genuine me. I was installing the Illumina caps on the strut towers and my buddy closed the trunk on me and took pics.

 

did you paint your grille zero? or did it come like that?. i want to color match my grille as well
is it hard?

why not get some home depot fencing? i talked to a 6th genner who made one out of fencing that was real tight small weaved mesh he painted his matte black and it looks really good, im doing the same soon

 

Yes it is painted, but there is no substitute for a professional body shop painting it. I've painted many grilles before and they either chip and/or won't come out as glossy. Save the $ and get it painted pro.

 

Yeah, that has been a considered option, but it just looks tacky to me with out some form if fiberglass shroud around it...just to finish it off. I've seen a couple 5th gens with just the fencing on it, and it either looks wavy or tacky or doesn't settle in enough. I don't know, but the AT grilles are a world of a difference from this.

 

oh ive never seen it on a 5th gen but i do see ur point. i mite try it there isnt many options for the 2k-2k1s other than dropping like 100+ on the street scenes ones.

 

ya id kill for an active tuning style grille....ebay has a decent style mesh....grille guy or something is the name of the vendor...home depot mesh looks cheap imo
