E&G grill to be precise. I literally finished the install myself minutes ago. Excuse the mess. And oh yeah, these are rush photos.

I like that Grill a lot!! Did it come with the Nissan logo or did you have to install that yourself? Looks great.

I had to transfer the logo from the old grill to the new. A couple lessons I learned: 1. The OEM plastic holes for the bottom clips are very easy to break. I had to super glue 2 of them back. 2. The Nissan logo is held in place by mounting tape(2 sided), simply stick a knife in between the logo on the grill and move around, you should be able to handle it from there. 3. Be patient and take your time, I had to go to Walmart twice.

I like the look of that grille. Is there a larger gap in the bottom center than the rest of the piece? Kind of hard to tell what the gap is in your shots.

Man, it looks better than i thought, but still not my taste. I wont be adding a hambuger to my Redline grille. Its defeats the purpose for a cleaner look.. But still yours is a fav on my list for looks. Good Job bro...

Nope, the gap is even all the way around. I'm working on taking better shots. I'm actually impressed by the fit, it easily fitted dead center. The quality of the grill is pretty decent too, not exactly on the level of a CTS-V or a Strut grill but for $233 shipped, I haven't seen a better grill.

Doesn't look right w/o the emblem. There's a space for it plus 2 holes, just wouldn't look right.

Out of the box it looks, eh, alright. Much better once installed. I don't know if my minds playin tricks on me but it looks a little crooked but I don't think so. Have to wait until I go somewhere, park it, and look.

Does the Niissan logo just pop out of the old grill?

Nope, it's held in place by mounting tape. You have to get a knife in between the logo and the grill to separate the tape.

I'm one of the few that actually like the original grill and haven't found a new one that wow'd me enough to switch it out. However, I gotta admit that I really like this one. Is there a link to the site that you ordered this from?

I like it but it just look really flat on the car, I guess I need to see some clearer/better pics but it looks 2D almost.

Better than billet though!!!

All the photos I've taken are garage pics. It's been cloudy and rainy all week here in Texas. Maybe I'll go out today if the weather breaks.

That grille looks awesome! That was the look I was looking for when I bought my grille. I'd go with this one, but it's gonna be impossible to get a matching grille for the lower valence like the setup I have right now. Don't know what you guys think, but our car just screams for a mod on the lower, center end of the front bumper (plastic insert). Black's the only color that looks OK stock, and the white MAX looks good with that plastic insert painted white.
