with all respect i think it does not look good, too much red and the style of the factory grille don't look good in red. had it been me i would of gone with an aftermarket grille. that's just my take on it.

23 bucks ya can't complain about price. Just a suggestion like the above poster said theres alotta red going on, I bet it would look better if you painted the Nissan symbol black to give it a contrast.

Yeah ... this is not going to be a permanent fixture ... but IMO better than the stock chrome toothyness. Im looking for a nice aftermarket at the moment. Thx for the imput though. How bout painting the teeth black. Can someone photo that in?

IMO, it looks like someone painted your car and forgot to cover the grill. But your car, your ideas. Keep em comin.

to me be honest, i wouldn't do it personally but it's your car, it's what you like at the end of the day but if your looking for suggestions, i wouldn't have painted the emblem red as well - honestly, that looks cheap, i would have left it chrome so if you could do something about the emblem then i think it'd look good and like others said, it's too much red going on - you definitely need contrast. so look at what your options are, i personally would have the emblem in chrome and rest could look good.

The more you guys talk about "contrast" the more I see the need for it ... I should be able to take the nissan burger off and buff it down until the chrome shows again and refasten it no prob. I agree .. need something to break up the red. I'll post pics when I fix it up. Thanks guys

Sorry, I don't care for it. I think the emblem looks better in a contrasting color like chrome or black.
