Need Some Assistance Please

Whats up guy's? I have a customers 06 Max at my shop & were gonna paint it candy red for him. He would like us to locate one of those A4.1 grills for it with the mesh insert. I have only been able to find one dealer in Canada & another here in the states. But we can't wait that long for it to ship out to us.

I'm just wondering if there is anyone here that might know of another shop where I can purchase one & have it shipped to me in a reasonable amount of time. Thanks....

Here is a picture of the type of grill I'm talking about.

I think thats the one you can only buy on ebay, but its made in China and people have waited at least 2 weeks to receive them. If i'm wrong, hopefully someone will correct me.

the original A4.1 grill is sold by Active Tuning. Good luck getting a grill from them. I believe there company is going under.

You can buy replica A4.1 grills on ebay. Maybe a private user will have one for sale in the US.

If not, i recommend buying a 04-06 mesh grill from a seller called C-mod. All of his grills come from China. So expect a 2-3 week shipping wait.

Thank you guy's very much! I will let the customer know that he is basically S-O-L when it comes to that grill. Are there any other grills that look as sporty? Even though I still have my 98 Maxima I've been away from the site for a cool minute, so I don't really know whats hot anymore? Especially for the 06 Models? I think were open to any suggestions... Thanks again for all the help & advice. You guy's don't even know how much relief you just gave me knowing that I won't be dealing with a company thats going under or waiting for a product to come from China & worry about if it ends up getting damaged during transport...

A/C problems!
Hi guys, I'm a newbie to this site. I have a couple of repair/installation questions.
I recently took my car to a Nissan service center and had it run for a diagnostic check because my AC is not throwing cold air. The technician confirmed that it was the lower ac pressure hose. I just receive the part/hose that I ordered from www.buynissanparts.com and am looking where should I bring in to install it for cheap. Any suggestion? I live in NY city.

Just wanted to thank you again for selling us the grill. It arrived yesterday, was painted & installed. The customer is super happy & I told him that he needs to enter it for Maxima of the month now. By the way he decided not to but a couple items back on the car if anyone is interested. he has a billet grill that was powdercoated black & the wind deflector for his sun roof for sale. I think he wants like $100 for the grill & $40 for the deflector? I'll look into it more if any of you guy's are interested.

Once again, thanks for everyones help. It was greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

Hey Apollos, thanks for forwarding me that email when Tony was looking for me on the forum. We were able to workout a good deal and it was great doing business with another .org member.

I did take a couple pictures of the car with my phone. The owner will be back in a few days once he gets the car fully detailed for us to take some pictures. I kinda don't wanna post pictures without his permission though. I know he is a member on the org & seriously would like to enter his car for Maxima of the month.

When you see it you'll know. Candy red paint, with a jet black roof & candy red & black 20 x 10's with red swade inserts. You'll see...

Hey, I got a few pictures when he dropped by. I just gotta find a decent site that I can upload them too. He is planning on returning again once he gets the grill mounted. But I did get a shot of the grill painted. His car is wicked, but I think he's gonna be in for a suprize when I run my 4th gen against his 6th gen for max of the month

PS, he did keep the Nismo badge on the grill. I was trying to talk him into spraying the red dot with Candy to match the paint, but he liked it the way it already was...
