yeah, cuz it was at night when I was installing, so close up was the only thing I can work with. When I get a chance, I'll do daytime pics farther.

the emblem is actually the official bolt on grill emblem made by nismo, took me awhile to find someone who had it locally, looks wise, there are better, but quality is *thumbs up*.

I have the same grille! Great job!

Did you just paint it or did you prep the grille first? I'm looking for the best way to paint my grille so it'll last.

I got it painted at a shop really cheap cuz of no clear, I did the clear myself and sprayed 4 coats of it on. I won't know how great of a job I did until I see how it holds up over time.

Looks good. What kind of paint did you use? I have the same SS grille in silver but didn't want to paint it for fear it would chip.

Also, I think it would look good with a smoked out hamburger emblem on the front vice your nismo one (or at least reposition the nismo emblem, it looks off imho).

Good job!
