I just installed this grill last weekend. Let me know what you think.

[QUOTE=04RedOpMax]I just installed this grill last weekend. Let me know what you think.

At least its a bit different from the regular mod versions..

I'm good with that ...

Now if you went to a plastic welder and put a clear centre on it with nissan badge in the middle that would be something really wow..IMO

Looks sick, I think I got a good idea, make the middle medal part come out to the edge of it. So it looks like its popin out. Just an idea, it may look good.

Beautiful, looks great, how did u do it?

Yeah, how'd you do it? Looks great.

Looks pretty cool!! Not quite my style but an "A" for originality...

Its different thats for sure, just not sure if its a style i like.

I like it. Anything looks better than OEM though.

It's different and it looks good. Nice mod.

Roy, as always, you have taken it to the next level. Great job...

i like it.

nice nice ....thats nice !! i like it !!

Thanx everbody for all the positive comments and suggestions.

By now most of you have figured out that the grill is a modified stock grill. I worked on this mod for many months and it was not easy. I had not done that much work with plastic, so I was basically just winging it!

For more pix and step by step photos of the laborious process of building the grill, see page 7 of my CarDomain site:

If you like what I've done, a vote for "Overall Vehicle" would be appreciated!

I like it. Very original.

lools like a subaru!

I like it... As mentioned before "it's diffrent then stock", which is a huge improvement.

hell yea thats nice

I bet it's not an easy mod, and it looks just like the sarona grill, more or less. I don't like it that much (I still prefer the grill on my car) but that doesn't mean I think it's ugly... just not my taste.
Really nice job!!!

I'm on the fence with this one. I have to give you credit though for the originality though.

The grill is hot.

Put the Nissan logo in the middle and I think that will dress it up. Looks good. Way to step out of the box.

the burger need to be in the center that way it will look complete.

One question:
Why do you have my girlfriend's picture as your background? haha

Good job! Looks good.

I like it - nice job.

now thats a nice grill. i checked out page 7, can i ask where you found that kind of material? i have almost the same kind of grill ( smaller holes) and i couldnt find any more of the stuff my body shop guy had, so your grill material is exactly what i can use. sweet grill, the best imo. later

I bought the metal stamping from these guys:

Check them out. You can get anything you want from them, any hole pattern, any shape (round, square, oval, honeycomb) in any material (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, plastic, brass). The sky is the limit, but it may not be cheap. The 10" x 36" piece I bought was about $80.00.

Hmmm.. Honeycomb pattern would look cool.....

thanks ^^^^ i will look into that

Mr October!!

So thats what youve been working on. Should have known something was in the works.

Looks really good man, definately original. Is there any way of removing the middle part? I think it would look even better without it. Each his own, just my 2 cents, but what do I know, youre the calendar boy!

Look closely and you will see that the two "fangs" in the middle line up with the two grooves that come down from the hood. That's the look that I wanted.

The thing with this grill is, it was just an experiment. I may do some other things to it, mess with the design. I could change the design of the hole pattern. I could black out the two sections on each side and just leave the center section "chrome". I thought about cutting out the center section and bringing it out to the front, even with the painted part, for more of a BMW look. The limit is only your imagination!

must be nice to have a garage and all those tools you have to do all this nice things to your car...very nice...evrything is just great !! nice "custom rotors" what a "drop" what...ill just stop ...

keep it up !!

luigi

looks hot... just not my taste thoguh

I'll bet he has receipts for all of it.

Looks good to me !

Thanx, Luigi.

My well equipped garage did not happen overnite. I have been buying, collecting and even building my own tools and machinery for almost 40 years. My shop is small, but in it I have a full wood shop (table saw, band saw, shaper, jointer, radial arm saw, miter saw, wood lathe, 2 belt sanders, 7 routers, hundreds of clamps and every hand tool), a metal working shop (oxy-acetelyne tanks, 225 amp arc welder, metal cutting band saw, 5 hp 80 gal compressor, air tools, drill press, grinders), Machinist tools (dial calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, snap gages, depth micrometer, taps, dies, drills), body shop (slide hammers, dollys, body hammers, 4 spray guns), plus a full array of mechanics tools.
Some of my tools and machines I bought used, but I always buy name brand, good quality equipment. Some of the machinery I got for free because it was broken, or was being thrown away (I can fix almost anything).
When I was in tech school, I built my drill press, machining all the parts and even making the aluminum castings (the school had a foundry). In my shop, I built a 12 ton arbor press and also built my own sand blasting booth.
My point is this: If you really like working on cars and/or building things, start collecting tools and machines when your young and then hold on to them. Some of my tools may sit for months or even years without being used. But when I do need them, I'm always glad I held on to them!

I dont know if im feelin it.
I dont like the two bars in the middle. thats why Im going to replace my grill. But its not what i think. You are the one who drives it, so if you like it, thats great. Nice job

red op you might want to change your sig now ha ha looks superb (yes im jealous)

Absolutely agree, I can't imagine how many times I received a rediculous price quote from some garage or learned the true scope of the work and said, F%ck it, I'll do it myself and knew I had the equipment to do it, when I was in the Navy, some of my tools were in storage for 15 years or stayed in boxes due to my numerous transfers or small apartments I lived in and when I finally bought my first house, my work shop was well stocked. Don't have as much as Roy, however he has me by 10 years and I know he will cut me some slack and give me time to catch up...

Young or Old, this is solid advice...

Wow looks good you may want to sell these I'm quit sure there will be a market for them. Excellent work

Nice job. I like it. Not for me, but I really like it.

haven't seen anything like it on a max, very creative.
