I like the more classic look of the Nissan emblem (#2).

Thanks for the post; your pix convinced me to go with the AT grille. I've been looking for a new one because some sort of darker coating on top of the chrome on my factory grille has begun to peel off and it looks lousy. Nissan says it's an "appearance issue" and is only covered for one year/12k miles...

Yeah, all the 6th gen grills do it. It sucks. But IMHO the stock grill looks like *** anyways.

Here is a link to the guy I bought this one from. Fast shipping and definitely happy with the quality. $15 to the door. I think there is another guy selling them in packs of 2 though for like $20 or so. Goodluck!

Well it was neck and neck poll wise guys, but in the end I decided to go with the nissan emblem. Talk about your hard decision as I think all 3 options looked great. Thanks for everyone's participation.

Jesus crist! You guys DO pay attention to detail. Ok here's the scoop. I had to trim down the ends coming out the back in order to get 'em to fit through the diamond mesh. If I trim the one anymore it'll be nothing more than a toothpick coming out the back and won't be of much use to help stabilize the mounting. While yes I do agree it is off just a hair, it's not all THAT bad is it?

LOL.

Nah it doesn't look bad. But you can trim the ends down flush and just use double sided tape to stick it to the grill. You don't need those ends to stick in the grill.

Jesus that grill looks so frickin' ghetto. You won't see 24's on my maxima and damn sure won't see a ghey trenz grill on it either. Nor any of the following:

curb feelers
fuzzy dice
fuzzy dash carpeting
disco *****
2-tone paint
gull wing doors
hydraulics
or anything else that could constitute using the term GHETTO in regards to my car.

ghetto huh? very interesting... to me ALL the other grilles besides the trenz is "ghey" in my opinion. They just look like a plastic frame with cheap a$$ wire mesh that you buy at home depot or cut out from a window screen on a storm door that keeps the bugs out, or better yet pantyhose. But once again, thats just my opinion and every one is entitled to that. Still love your wheels though Mack

I can assure you my E&G Classics grill looks neither cheap *** nor like pantyhose. But I still laughed at your post.

I reject your reality and replace it with my own!!!

What looks g@y is that plastic (ours are fiberglass) bucked tooth grill Nissan put on that will eventually peel on you...

But thats just my opinion and every one is entitled to that, right???

Man now THAT I agree totally with. The stock grill looks like A$$!! The new ones actually look pretty darn decent though. Glad Nissan came around a bit.

Do you have a Trenz? Many of us have had one including me:

My ride 2 years ago:

Yes, I have the one you do. Although yours seems to be a hell of a lot more shiny than mine

I use to keep it clean by wiping it down with Windex, it shined nicely however maybe the camera flash gave it a brighter look...
