I got my lower grill from them. Quality is not that good. With them, you get what you pay for. Just my personal experience.

I think the E&G grills look great, however seeing them up close the only down side I noted was they were not manufactured as thick as a TRENZ, thus where somewhat more flimsy.

I think anything other than stock looks good, what works for me are the TRENZ line, however some Orgers who color matched them to their car colors seemed to work well also. But what do I know...

Mine is a Trenz, if interested, PM Redmax or call Corey at RedLineMax (same person) at 301-218-7336, he can get anything for a Nissan Maxima and is a great guy to deal with, tell him who gave you the info, he knows my grill configuration/type...

Dude, that's a nice grill setup you got there. Could you spare another 10-15 bucks and loose the black plastic dealer plate, it's ruining your show...

Sorry, dudett.

Another question, with such a beautiful car, why do you have to display such an enormous "I am associated with the police, kill me first terrorist badge dingy" on your trunk, come on, didn't they have a bigger one that uses 2 brackets vice 1???

Oh come on, your an Orger so you have 100x more exposure to the Trenz than any other max owner, I base my mods on what I run into on the road, not what I see on the Org. I have seen 2K4, 2K5 in my area, however unless ramberg is visiting my house (and even then it's different because mine is badged and his is not), I have not seen one Trenz in my area for over 1.8 years that I have lived in Southern Maryland, unless your Roy who made a 100 percent custom grill out of his stock OEM grill, we only have a handful of choices and based on the feedback and pictures throughout the Org. Trenz is just more popular.

DeusEx has a rather plain grille, but that paint makes it stand out sssoooooo much that it has to be my fav so far.....

Your examples look nothing alike with the exception of a horizontal pattern which is pretty standard on 98 percent of the grills world wide...

I saw a Max today with a grill that looked liked the Active Tuning S2 Altima grill?? Plastic frame with mesh all inside, but here's the kicker, they put the hamburger on the hood right above where the tooth is now! It looked weird but the grill looked nice.
Wish I had my camera to take a pic. Anybody know what grill this might be? This is actually the 2nd one I've seen but never got a chance to take a pic or ask the person what it was....

if it's the true billet like mine and carcus's you are not going to get it for $50. I paid around $180 shipped for mine. Sturday as heck and love it.

Thanks for the pics on your site, i'm thinking about changing the stock grill in my 04, blue. I like the billet and found it on e-bay prostreet lighting. Did you get the bottom grill from same company? Also, I saw on one of the pics a winged emblem, do you know where the emblem was purchased? I only saw one site on e-bay $24.

Thanks again for making the decision easy. Car looks great, in and out!

Anyone see this grill for the 6th gen?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/STAIN...QQcmdZViewItem


I have never seen this grill on the org so i thought i would share it with you guys. I also would love to get this grill but i have never installed one nor do i have the knowledge too. But for someone that has almost no knowledge of install of this sort do you think its worth me picking this girll up?
And how hard do you guys really think this one might be to install given the fact that it uses some of the original grill?

It doesn't seem hard to install, but I don't know if they are overlays or inserts. These types of grills have been around for awhile. The quality seems to be good. There are a lot of nice grills out there they are usaully not hard to install. If you have no knowledge I would recommend then pro's.

Yes I have seen that grille on ebay many times. Im not too fond of this one, mainly because of the gaps in the bottom. At one point, I did consider getting this grille but I didnt because of that. I really like the trenz grille. just my 2 pennies

I got one of the grilles on eBay, it was $145 shipped for the upper and lower grilles. They are fine in quality but a pain in the a$$ to install the lowre grille. Looks good though. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2176611/1

I wish this type of grill was available for my white max. I think the black on white contrast would look really nice. Check this link: http://www.seriouswheels.com/2005/20...d-1280x960.htm
