Ok, so i'm lookin at buyin a maxima, don't have one yet. but i was at the dealership today and saw one of the new 2013 with the grill that is just 3 silver bars, i looked at them pretty close, and i think it would fit in the 09/10 bumper just fine. i think they look way better than the older grills.

anyone tried it?

also, anything i should look out for when buying?

 

Pics? I thought all the grilles had three bars?

 

sorry...meant to put the pic on here and forgot. sorry for the crappy pic, i was just using it for a reference when looking at the other car while on the lot.

 

If they're interchangeable I might just swap mine if you wanted. I just wonder how they feel about that lease end

 

sweet! i'll keep that in mind. i gotta get the car first.

 

from my understanding they're the same fit

 

It looks better then the original stock however that's not saying much : / .... I really do not like the 7th gen grills ... They look butt ugly.. makes me not want to look at the front of the car.... if your about customizing or making ur max look good get a custom grill and do something with that... Also the stillen front lip completes the car

 

It's the same grill that's on the 2012's and it is interchangeable. The SV Sports have the three bars painted a dark grey and the other models are painted light silver. All have the chrome outer ring.

 

Yes, the grill will fit. Had my replaced last week.

 

Where'd you get the newer grille from? And for how much?

 

A "lady" failed to hit her brakes in time so scuffed my girl on the front passenger side. So my guy hooked it up with the newer grille for no extra charge. I could of course call him and get an exact price if your interested.
