Hey I was thinking cant we get a custom grill made from somewhere? I am just not loving the ones that are available. I think if we came up with a design and had enough guys to purchase it we could get it made. Any of you photoshoppers want to create something and we can then see if we can find some one to fabricate it. I need a sick unique Grill.

Tell us what your ideas are for an amazing new grill.

I saw a new one by billetanything.com it was kind of nice and i have never seen it before today but still not a jawdropper.

 

A group purchase of a "unique" grill?

 

mesh....small holes....black....yup..thats a great idea

 

Well I guess we are gonna split hairs. I figure tens of thousands of 7th gen maximas have been sold. So you think if lets say 10 guys from this forum design and buy a grill that means its not unique??

Lets get some ideas together

 

anyone good with photoshop?

 

+1 I think that would look pretty sweet.

 

i still think strut has some great design directions for their grilles but majority of the people on here thinks they looks tooo "gangsta" whatever that mean.i do agree the strut emblem is kinda over the top . i think something along the lines with black mesh, intricate cuts would make the car pop pop out. all the other grilles out there makes the car seem incomplete, the grilles just dont match the design of the car.. that just my opinion

 

Yeah I agree. i would like a nice STRUT like mess grill with really small holes and sharp diamond cuts. In chrome or black.

Somebody with photoshop shoudl be able to take something from Struts site and photoshop it on right?

 

i can do it
i did the decepticon logo on my sig

 

well do it

 

Yeah. Cant wait.

 

............ kick rocks

Has anyone debadged the fron grille? OEM grille minus the Nissan burger. Or can someone with PS please do a quick rendering? :P

 

IMO what would look killer would be a debaged factory style grille with "black chrome"

The unpainted mesh grilles look terrible IMO. and people spend hundreds for them? I could go to home depot, spend $10 on gutter mesh and sheet metal, and make that. That's all they are - a flat piece of metal and some gutter mesh.

Actually, if someone has an extra stock grille, you could probably get the same look by using Niteshade tinting spray on the chrome.

I don't have PS on this machine, but this is one I did a few months ago. Not quite the same, I didn't debadge, but IMO a black chrome stock grille would look killer.

 

See I like them both but I love that second one. It is much nicer then the mesh e and g grills. i like that tight winded mesh look and the border is nicer too. The way the center on top and bottom is different then the rest. How do we get one of these ,ade at a decent price?

Does anyone know a place that cutom makles grills to order. if we can get a few orders together?

Great Job on the Photoshop.

 

how about something similar to the Honda Ridgeline grille... obviously smaller honeycomb, but with the chrome around the outside

(my ex-truck)

 

There's one on eBay.

Something like that with chrome on the border, black for the middle and the chrome nissan logo and we might be on to something.

 

i like the honey comb shape. however, things i look for when considering a grille are

1. mesh gap size: i dont like the idea of being able to see through the grille and seeing the engine components. being able to see the engine through the grille just make the car look incomplete..


2 overall design: the grill should look like it was meant exclusively for that car. i see a lot of people who buy grilles and they either dont match the design of the car taking away from the quality look of the car.

depending on the design of the grille black would look really well, however sometimes black grilles make the car look like it has a huge empty hole in the front. some people may like this look. i particularly don't

my car is black and i like the look of chrome. call it gangster or ghetto if you want. i dont care. yes i think its a design technique stolen from Mercedes ( dont know if they were the first ones to utilize this style) but i think it does make the car look classy.

like i said.. just my opinion.

 

I couldnt agree more. I like teh tight woven mesh, in chrome. hence this look.

 

I also think if you want a grill that matches the design of the car that a grill similar to the current G37 grill would look excellent on the maxima. With a Nissan logo of course

 

Man it just look great, btw i found both the grill and the logo on ebay

 

im loving the ideas in here hopefully these hit production i would put one on my max in a heart beat

 

Hey, I have no idea what type of grill this is on this Max but it looks pretty nice and it doesn't make the care look cheap. Take a look at this.

I think the stock grill is awesome!... any change made to it thus far that ive seen has been ugly... just plain ugly

 

why don't you have yours painted like mine, it looks absolutely amazing in person and much more aggressive than the stock chrome, but than again my max is all pearl white, and matte black and it fits the look I'm going for

 

I beg to differ, mine looks pretty damn good haha

 

If the border of this was 'body color matched' and the mesh black chrome - Nissan 'burger' in center - it would be awesome.

 

How can I add a photo, I installed a black Ice by E&G looks amazin.

 

I think if we could just get the stock grill that the badge was removed and the bars continued through, I dont like the billets to many bars. I like about 4 or 5 bars like the aston martin vanquish

i would like something all black

 

I have looked at all of these grills, they all look like I bought them at Autozone / walmart. Can some one please show me an awesome grill. I dont want to see people who have taken a rattle can to a 35,000 dollar car.

T-Rex Upper Class Grill
T-Rex Billet Grill Insert
E&G Classics Stainless Steel Heavy Mesh Grill
E&G Classics Fine Mesh Grill
E&G Classics Black Ice Fine Mesh Grill

-So here is what I'm looking for is a Badge-less grill just like the stock grill but with out the badge or the spot for the badge either..

any suggestions would be awesome, one more thing does anyone know where I can get an new center for my steering wheel with out the logo on it?

 

my grill^^

 

my headlight mod: anodized blue/black w/blue demon eyes and transformer emblem painted anodized blue to match headlight...

 

Here's a new twist on an E & G grille. My Black emblem should be done Monday. Tell me what you think.

This looks really good in person. I just saw this grill on a silver Max but it was chrome. This black one looks best even in the picture. Thanks for the share.

 

E & G doesn't make the black one (yet). I bought one of their polished SS grilles and had it powder coated black chrome. It was a little bit of work but I wanted something different. Thanks for the props.

 

I've been looking for a grille too. I'm a fan of billet grilles and I've seen 2 of them online that look the same but cost radically different amounts.

One is a T-Rex grille which I can not find on their website but it is available here: http://www.billetanything.com/2009-N...le-p/20758.htm. For the upper and lower it is almost $300.

The other is from some unknown company. The description is almost word for word the same as T-Rex's, but the price is only $138 for upper and lower. Anyone had any experience with their product? Their price is certainly the best I've seen and the description seems the same as those costing more. Anyone try this? Any pictures?
