Show Me Your Grille
IMO the oem grille is best, I seriously think those billet two piece grills look super cheesy. I mean super duper cheesy chedar cheesy...cheesy like 100 day old super fermented cheesy with mold growing on it. that cheesy.

I dont knoww, I looked at it this morning and just wasnt feeling it. I was kinda 50/50 on it last night when I popped it back on but I've decided to go black. To me black suits the car better & looks more aggresive. Will post pics after paint/install.
I think I'm gonna swap the DRL bulbs with HID's soon

DRL's are mandatory on all Canadian vehicles. Most US vehicles dont have them turned on the CPU, but it can be done pretty easily. I import a lot of US vehicles into Canada and it's a requirement that I get the DRL's turned on in order to register the vehicle here. I believe most of the newer vehicles in the US are now coming with DRL's programmed on from factory.

yes those are the DRL's and your dealer can turn them on for you if you like. Its pre-wired but needs to be switched on thru the CPU. It amazes me that on Canadian cars DRL's must be turned on from factory but not US cars 
Flip, your t-rex grille in powdercoated black is gorgeous. I don't spend a whole lot of time thinking about the 7th gen (because I no haz one, you see), but I've always thought the grille was fugly.
Yours is perfect. Well done.

I was able to get hte 4pc heavy mesh black ice E&G from Al at ASD for $386 shipped.I also painted everything behind the grill black including the water tank as that was visible also.I left the nissan emblem on for now.it will be easier to take off at a later time if i feel i do not want it anymore. I also debadged the rear of the car. i removed the crooked maxima and nissan logo.looks clean.
The grill looks awesome!!!
