75 bucks to paint and install... not too bad i didnt think. The grille kind of stands out right now, but im guessing it just needs to be weathered a littte bit. Now i just need to get my mesh inserts on for below it and sink back the fog lights...

Dont be sorry. I was just looking at those pics and the fog lights really do suck. I am remounting them way back so you cant see them and then putting mesh over them, so they will be hidden, yet still have the light.
I never really noticed till now how sh!tty those fog lights were...
=)

And yeah it does look like a grand am grille, but now no one really knows what kind of car i have (The general public). I kind of like that...

Welcome to the club.
The grill does resemble a Pontiac but it also resembles an Infiniti grill.

Hey Sport,
I think you are the one that isn't getting the point.
If you don't like something say so, but telling another guy that his ride looks hideous or looks like a piece of cr*p is out of line.
If you are such an expert on what looks good on a Max, why not post a picture of your ride so that the rest of us can pick it apart.

learn to take criticism, dude. last time i checked, the first amendment is still alive and kicking. in other words, if you don't like what i say, shut the heck up and ignore me.
