After months of research for grill options for my 2000 I30 T, I decided to get an I35 grill. I havn't been able to upload them to my cardomain page so here they are.

Not sure if im gonna be doing too much modifying... maybe foglight bulbs...maybe clear sidemarkers. The grill change was the most important mod for me.

 

That is HOT!

How much? Ebay?

Which fog bulbs are you putting in? One of mine just went out and now looking for some new bulbs.

 

I got my grill from http://www.infiniti-parts.com/ the only place I found it. its expensive... 199 bucks, but new condition.

As for bulbs... I havn't decided yet.

 

expensive??have u checked for a 1996 grille?? hehe....
hey blodssvik...what part of tujunga are u from?i used to live there like 5 years ago.

 

Yea the older grills are like 30-40 bucks

I'm in the hills below foothill in between haines canyon and the 210 freeway area, hehe.

 

02 I35 grill makes the I30 look sooo much better. Great job man!!

 

Looks really nice! I did the same thing to my I30 a couple months ago. It really does make a huge difference.

 

Just a quick question...

When you were changing grilles, did you see any rust on the edges of the hood?

Thanks,

Omar

 

Am i the only one who likes the vertical style grill?

 

I like it.

But I dont know what it is...it seems like it can easily break.

 

Yes, lol. It's decent, but the I35 grill just commands so much more attn and just fits the car better IMO.
Nice mod, I definitely have to do this.

 

I did notice one small speck of rust near the edge of the hood. This is probably because of paint chipping from rocks and other debri slamming into the front. There was a little rust in the middle lower part of the housing of the hood edge. This is probably due to excessive water deposits. I don't think its anything to be alarmed about though.

 

Okay cool...I have the same rust spot near my grille. You can only see it if you opent he hood and try to look for it.

that looks great blod. makes a big difference.

 

so where does one get an i35 grill, and is it a perfect fit? i got 2000 i30... Thanks! By the way the car looks great

 

You can get it at the link the poster provided above and yes it is a perfect fit per those that have done the mod.

 

i really need to pick one up but for $200? ouch!

 

you can always check salvage yards and ebay... but its very hard to find...and if you do, it might be 50 bucks, or 100 bucks cheaper. I waited and searched for months and found nothing, until settling for the 200 buck ripoff.

 

I hear ya'. I picked mine up on Ebay for a little over $100. Keep your eyes on Ebay and the salvage yards.

 

Would it look nice if I stick with my '00 grille and just paint it black?

- Omar

 

I was thinking of doing this before. It might look a little nicer. but regardless, the I30 grill frame is much thinner and unevenly distributed than the I35. The I35 grill has a more even distribution of frame widths and dimensions, which is why most people see it as better looking than the I30 grill.

If you cant find an I35 grill for cheap, and dont wanna bite the bullet for 200 bucks, I guess the only option is to modify the I30 grill.

I cant imagine the I30 grill looking any uglier...except if it was broken or cracked or something, so I guess whatever modifications you do to it would make it look better.

 

i need to do that checked online and found it for like 120 so ill add that to my list of things to do

 

Looks good... a lot better than the vertical one.

 

Has anyone ever tried these?

The grill change makes a huge difference, your car looks great, it's definately the first mod Im doing once I get my whole sound system worked out

 

Looks like grade A ebay crap.
