Mesh Grill

I had an aftermarket billet grill for the last 2 years. Some guy in a truck backed up into me (I was parked and wasn't there but its obvious its a truck) and my grill is messed up now.

Anyone have any suggestions on a good mesh grill? I saw the active tuning one but I actually don't like it cause it has that border you have to paint.

Either chrome or not is fine for the mesh is fine. I have chrome rims so maybe it'll match chrome or maybe its overkill. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Street Scenes makes mesh grills, I think Ebay and Stillen have the. I don't think the Active Tuning grill is out yet, theyv'e been putting it off for months.

You can have mine for cheap. I have the Lund billet grill with Nissan logo. If I can get my hands on an AT grill...

Does anyone have the Street Scenes grill?

On the vendor sites I only see pictures of the grill not installed. If anyone has the Street Scenes grill, please post some pics. Thanks.

Go with the E&G grill..... they look awsome. Had I not purchased the Trenz grill I have now, I would've gotten the E&G grill. Check it out.

Thanks for the pictures. I think I'm gonna go with the Street Scene mesh grill...just can't decide if I want it in chrome or stainless.

The E&G Grill looks good for 2007, but I drive a 2004 and the ones that I found from E&G for 2004 don't suit my tastes.

As far as the E&G mesh grill goes, it's good looking but I think most have a slight issue with the emblem set up. I would have gone with one of those as well if not for the emblem and little bars in the middle.

SS Grille: chrome or stainless? Mayb depend on the color of your car. I think from the pics Deus' is stainless but I'm not sure. Mine is chrome:

I really think the E&G one is classy, but again... what makes you happy. I think you can pick up a mesh grill on ebay for cheap. search around

That's too bad, ActiveTuning S4.1 is a nice looking Diamond mesh grill also...

For a grill that is stainless steal, can they be painted? I want a grill and may go with a billet but only if it can be painted black. If stainless steal can be painted what is the prep for it and what type of paint (duplicolor?)

i just got mine and the quality is pretty good for the price. shipping is a bit slow for me as it comes from canada, but well worth the wait. only 160 shipped, and i can probably have maaco paint it for 40 or less. not a bad deal by any means
