For those of you with blacked out grilles. Where did you find yours or did you custom do it?

 

Plastidip

 

i did plastidip at first to see if i liked it, then got a 2012 with the new grill design and had it painted gloss black at a body shop. looks 1000x better than before

 

I really like the 2012 style grill painted gloss black, how much did they charge to paint it?

 

I like the stock grille, I just wish it came painted black. Whats the difference between the 09 grille and the 2012 or 2013?

 

$70 - held up great so far too!

there is no honeycomb "mesh" on the newer ones plus the fin/trim styling is different.

 

On ebay
A company called UTVproducts
They sell just the main grill, or all 4 pieces of the front
Best money ive spent all billet and painted

 

Did the plastidip not look that great was it like a dull black look?

 

the plastidip looked okay - not bad not great. the painted gloss look is pro though

 

I've been interested in the 2012 grille as well. Isn't the 2012 sport grille already black? I'm wondering if it would be easier just to get the 2012 sport model grille Vs painting a regular 2012 grille.

 

the trim is chrome and the fins are a gunmetal grey

 

Ghozt your car looks awesome man.

Is the 2012 non-sport grille chrome w/ chrome fins?

I'm thinking if I just put on the 2012 sport grille, that will look a lot better than my current 2010 grille.

 

I plastidipped mine last year flat black and it looked good, but now I'm starting to see a very tiny bit of chipping in a few areas. Im thinking about getting it painted for real this time. Thinking about making the inside of the Maxima lettering on the Burger white as well to make it pop a bit more.

 

What color is your car Mario? If it's white that could look good with the white lettering.

 

All white baby.

If I do the grill though Im most likely going to have the chrome trim around the windows painted as well.

I hate that chrome.

 

Perfect, that'll look good!

Yea that chrome is annoying and gets fingerprints all over it!

 

What do you guys think about the sport grille but just painting the chrome edge black and leaving the fins gunmetal like they are?

 

I agree with Ghozt up above. Mine was gray but had a shop paint the entire thing black and I like it a lot better.
