Is there a before and after. Looks like an almost stock nissan .Nothing wrong with that , I like the color. Just wondering what you have done? I see tints and the grill. Ahh I jusr re read and its the grill. Similar to the one I have. Not my favorite I just liked it better than stock.

the 2005 maxima had the sentra grill look - its actually quite a bit different but everyhting i do i try and make it look stock just better. the only thing i can say that is different is the emblem placement and nismo stickers on the sides.

Hmm, that's not a bad looking billet grille, it's nice and clean. But not really feeling the emblem on the hood...

Cool

I like it, I've never seen that before. I want to replace my grill, was it difficult at all?

took 30 minutes - the only problem i would see is you have to rivit and drill. i have done lots of this so it was not a problem. i would say anyone could take this on. i bought the emblem from nissan for 25$ and its the rear.

I like the grill, cause i have a Trex billet grill also, but i don't like the emblem on the hood. I usually like a clean look and to put the emblem on the hood kind of defeats that purpose. But to each his own. Good look for your max otherwise.

That's cool. I was going to ask where you got the emblem. I see them on ebay, but they are a little pricey. I like it.
