iTrader: (6)

I'm just sayin -- I DID search for over 30 minutes, and didn't find a thing!

I appreciate you posting that....but what I MEANT is that I was "hoping" to get some feedback posted on the thread from somebody WITH this grill.

I guess I just shoulda kept my yap shut and waited for them to come-along.

Sorry for the can we all just get along now?!

i have one it fits fine the quality is okay and I've had it for a few months now...with no complaints

ghostrider17

iTrader: (6)

Ahhhhh - Perfect!

And mounted on a Black Car....exactly what i was looking for.

Thks Sexima.

I'm trying to decide whether to paint the OEM, or get the Grille.

Seems like ALOT of empty space between the headlights without the Nissan Logo there?!?!

**Btw: Easy install???***

iTrader: (5)

Maybe that will make the car look wider. They always look narrow to me.

iTrader: (4)

install??? lol a blind guy with one hand could put it in under 5 minutes lol
probably take longer to take the oem grille out.... its 3 8mm nuts that hold it in easy as pie!

and i love how it makes the front look with no emblem....not too much space for me

Rochester

iTrader: (3)

Yes it does. Do what rroderiques77 did, and slap a NISMO emblem in there.

And Nate, Scarface was being helpful. He's not familiar with your friendly banter, is all.

Here's one without the emblem:

Your very welcome. I was just messin with ya

IDK... I think I prefer the stock grill. The thing with grills like this is how transparent they can be from a straight-on perspective. At a slight angle, it looks awesome. But straight on, and you would be able to see the cross-members, and my misshapen, rusty horns.

At the elevated angle in this photo, it looks fantastic. Particularly with the NISMO emblem. Not so much straight-on, though.

Pretty nice grill, very nice price me I just want to paint mine the same color as my ride!!

ghostrider17

iTrader: (6)

Yeah - I agree Rochester.

I was thinking the same thing -- and even considered some kind of "shroud" behind the grill....but that's just too much work/money.

I think I'm going to stick with painting the OEM grill, and see how that turns-out.
If I'm unsatisified -- $40 for this one isn't a terrible price to pay for an "experiment".

Thanks for everybody's input.

That max with the nismo badge is Bad @ss!!! I am sold on this grille I hate the aftermarket one i have . I bought the car with it .

get the one like stock but without the emblem. i have a few pictures in my photo album

iTrader: (45)

I'd forgotten about that photo...
Oh John, BTW, The Max is finally on the road again. I will be taking it back to Redrock this weekend for some dusk shots. I will send you the best.

Try slapping a Nissan burger on it. I wonder what that would look like.

Dug this one out of the vault. Do guys remember when this freaking Ebay company stole my look for their ad? This is where I got my grill, for free of course...

i would like to replace the grill in my 00 with one like this...too bad its not able to be seperated FML

ghostrider17

iTrader: (6)

If conjoined twins can be separated at birth -- you can separate that grill from the bumper.
Nobody said it was gonna be easy!

I like the large NISSAN burger in the grill, too.

I'm pretty sure the 5.0 gen and 5.5 gen grills are slightly different, so that they aren't interchangeable.

Was looking at my grill last night (with this tread in mind), trying to see how easy it was to un-clip... haven't figured it out yet, but I also haven't searched the Org for answers either. My thinking is that the horns are much easier to replace if the grill is removed, yes?

ghostrider17

iTrader: (6)

...uh -oh.....

I KNOW where you're going with this Rochester!!

More BLING-BLING for Daddy!

You may as well upgrade to some Air HOrns or something, while you're at it!

gr

Rochester

iTrader: (3)

Well, you should see my horns. It looks like they were made out of clay and mud by a blind quadriplegic.

A pair of red Hella Horns might be just what daddy needs...

lol @ GR...i'm not into cutting and modding in a 'mesh grille' theres no turning back once you cut it out.

ghostrider17

iTrader: (6)

Sweet! Now don't forget the Grill(z) to go with, so you can show-off the new horns!
Dam - I love spending YOUR money!!

I hear ya ~phat! I wouldn't do it either.

Rochester

iTrader: (3)

Um, no. Stock grill for me. I don't want to advertise.

The only thing I would consider would be the burger-delete... and as I said, I rather like the burger.

phatboislim

iTrader: (27)

i think i want to paint mine either the same color or black...its fading and is chipped up...looks tacky

Rochester

iTrader: (3)

Funny, but in my head I keep reading "phatabolism", whatever that means.

It's only just now that I realized it was "fat boy slim".

Um, carry on.

LOL......I was thinking the same exact thing for probably 2 years.....it was just in the past few months that I realized what his name really was.

I was thinking it was a play on words type thing with "fat" and "metabolism" combined with the ph spelling of fat.......

But then I realized what it was and felt like a complete moron

Same here. SHeesh - I'm OLD!

rofl oh wow!!

this is about the 4th time i've heard about this misconception on the org....i'm surrounded by old guys...anyone need some depends...i got it on sale, 2 for 1

iTrader: (3)

Old guys? Nah, Vball is still a baby boy. And Ghostrider was born a grumpy old man.

vball_max

iTrader: (5)

I am by no means old (unless you consider 30 old?)

'Praise You' was at its peak when I was in college so I am quite familiar with fatboy slim.....it was the different spelling that threw me off.

Baby boy????!!!! LOL.....

phatboislim

iTrader: (27)

lol my brother is 30+...i call him old all the time

and what is Praise You? lolol

really??? i guess it would be old school fatboy slim.....

I dont know if this is the real video......but its quite funny.

+1 for the burger. I am trying to have mine sprayed in "Black Chrome" effect, so we'll see how that comes out.

The grille is easy. Three nuts on the back towards the top of the grille, and there are clips on the bottom. Once you undo the nuts, pull the grille out. The burger is on by a few clips IIRC.

I figure if I pull the car up on ramps, it will be really obvious based on these tips. Thanks, Zero!
