I'm currently designing a new option to grill enhancement. This part is for the valance and fog openings. This will be polished stainless steel with color optional borders. The grill will fit the 97-99 models. I'm a machinist and am using my car as a template, so I do not offer this for others. Possibly in the future I will. I will use s/s steel only because it will last indefinately, unlike aluminum! I'm in the beginning stages, particularly for my own automotive interests. However I think others will like this product. This is not a mesh, wired to a grill or just dropped deeply behind the bumper cover. This will recess into the openings and look very apparent/attractive from all viewing angles. Well, just checking to see if people are interested! Also, at this point I can not give pricing because I have not accumulated production costs!

design it and post some pics Im sure people will buy depending what it looks like I might want one.

WHAT ABOUT US 95's and 96's ?

no one owns those any more

that funny

right now, I'm just working on this version. However at some point I will fit other max's but I still have to make sure people like it. I'm sure they will.

how bout a custom job for my 98 i30 at some point. willing to pay a lot...

Nice photoChop!. I'ts going to be some time before I venture into customs as it will take your car and some time for custom fitting. If,if people realy like this and time allows, I'll be doing others. Once I pre-fit a certain car and set up production jigs, things will flow.

This is the plan, my car goes in for paint next week, @ the end of next week I instal my body kit. Then I finish fitting grills. I have the proto-types cut, polished and rough fit. once body kit is instaled, give me a couple hours to finsh grill inst. Then I'll post pics. on and off the car!

cool deal and thank gtr_rider for the photoshop. anyway i been looking for someone to hook me up with a tight valence grille cuz i dont have time to do it myself...

Like I said, It's going to be a while before I get my hands on any I30! Unless you are a New Englander!

where are u located again?

ill take one.

sounds cool, need pics, good to see you got a clear pic tilley

How about making a front grill for 97-99 without the nissan emblem in the front (not as shiny as Trenz grill)? Just a thought...

why not just buythe NON-POLISHED trenz grill???

Cape Cod. Bourne.

This product will be a valance and fog grills for now. It will be stainless steel only, alumminum's cheap! My mesh lowers will be much more affordable than trenz and something different.

I hope to have pics in a couple of weeks as my max is going to be painted next week. Once I get my car back I will finish fitting grills. I've loosely placed them in there and took a look. Unless my taste s*cks I beleive their a seller! Also one of the best copliments to this grill is that they ultimately look better and replace costly OEM, broken fogs. These at this point will not work over stock fogs but can be easily be custom fitted over aftermarket lighting and WILL look totally trick!

Sounds good to me as well. Post a photo so we can check it out

hey Nick my 96 is still goin strong!!

as for the the mesh, will you have plans for a 95/96 inserts as well??
Im waiting for the trenz grille to be released for 95/96's, and then im selling my smx grille with valance pieces.

Anyone interested $140 shipped with x2 lower vallance pieces(silver)?

Hypothetically speaking,

With your skills, it is possible to make a very thick black mesh grill for a black max? I don't want to put any emblems on the front grill. I just want it to be black, and thick enough so that you can't see the hood latch. LLTech makes this type of grill for audi/vw.
Would this be possible to make?

Did I describe it well enough. I don't like the trendz grill but a nice black plain grill would look nice on a black max.

Ohhhh, so thaaaats why your sellin it !

MY 95 only has 55K miles on it, and is goin' az strong as joO !!!!!

95 Max's, are the lightest,sexiest,FASTEST max's out there


BTW, I am interested in that black grille as well as the others, too !.

But you should make em for 95-96 first, after all we are the pioneers of the 4th gen design.

It will be some time before I venture into grills as these are just for the lower valance and fog openings. Your idea of hiding the hood lock hardware is A must. The reason, I beleive, is that so much light enters that space. I think that thicker with small voids are key.

true, 95-96 is the best but the grille should be made for the 97-99 bc i have a front bumper conversion, i still want to see pics

I'm looking for one of those too for my '96.

If you have a conversion that changes the stock lower bumper openings, this my not work for you. This is fitted for a tight fit to the stock bmpr. cover.

Will it be possible, from your design to have that lower valance be made out of some black rubber or at least powdercoated black? I'm sure I could buy a trndz and powdercoat it, but this way might be cheaper or possibly look better?

my bumper cover is the stock one, so it should work

Do you have a lip? If so does it fit inside the opening like the Stillen lip? This makes a difference.

I too would be interested in this! I'm cool and have a 97!

no lip, so where does it connect on to? thats whats important

At this point, they will only be polished/grained. This can easily be painted. This valance comes as a flat fit/finished prod. with a 3M pressure sensative channel for the border (Assorted colors). I can ship the grill with intension of being painted and include the border for you to instal.

The grill will require that you drill 3-4 small holes in the cover, toward the back (way out of sight) of the cover. This is for the valance.

hmmm, i guess i will just have to wait for the pics, i have my own mesh in their now

Got pics? Of your mesh!

Things will fade on this topic for a bit, til I get my ride back from the paint shop. It will take me a day (maybe) to finish and post pics. I'll have my car back, for final fit on 10/5.

hmm lets see, ah here it is, i will be waiting on the pics
