Yeeeaaaahhhhh!!
You guys like the new addition to my dining room?
BTW, the grille opening is much smaller than stock... there's no way to put a factory grille in there with out having it molded that way.
Hmmm... now to find a paint shop...

Yey Me! Haha
Sorry about the delay guys. Heres a breif update Pearl. After my car was in the body shop TWO months(since FEB 20th), its on its way here right now. I had to get the bumper repainted b/c when i took the car into the dealer, they F**KD up my bumper. Ne ways my bodyshop took care of it for free. I should have the pics avail hopefully within the next couple hours.
BTW for those that had questions about the bumper.
1.You have about 4-5 Inches of clearance(basically it shouldn't scrape if you know how to drive)
2.As far as the grill, its a plain mesh grille. (I'm having a friend cut a custom grille, either honeycomb or billet.<~~ Any Suggestions?)

The grill opening isn't shaped right. The mid-section of the bumper is sagging, and so would the grill part, because its a flexible compound. It's not that the grill area is smaller. Look at the lines of the bumper, specifically where the headlights would sit just above. If you take a look at a Maxima you can clearly see that the headlights run almost perfectly parallel to the ground. Most of the aftermarket bumper replacements aren't perfect, and usually require some work to fit them. Looking at the bumper out of the box, will make it seem that a grill wont fit there, but you can't change the shape of the car to make the bumper fit, once the bumper is on the car and made to fit, the grill will fit.

see this is what ive been waiting for. In the fiberglass version, a factory 2k2 grille is used. In this model, it looks different. I was assuming this was an exact replica of the fiberglass version. I was also told in this thread, a custom grille or a 2002 grille could be used. I was even told a 2001 grille could be used ( but thats impossible since 2k/2k1 grilles are molded with the bumper). Exactly whats going on. Im only being persistent because I want the right information. I guess i'l just have to wait for actual installed pictures. Sorry for the delay. Im waiting to pay already.

I will sell my full kit + exhaust for the same price as the GD + shipping. If you are in N. VA and can pick it up I won't charge shipping. JT Autostyle normally charges $1,200 shipped for what I have. I'm selling for $800 + shipping. Save ~$400 if you are local.
