It's not done, but just about, I'm still up in the air whether or not I should pop off the mini emblem and leave it with the droop, or if I should carefully eliminate the droop (where the original logo is.) But it fit's VERY nice, I think it looks sick, the pics don't do it justice, it looks ghetto within three feet but I'm not 100% finished, it will be very nice when done, the hard part is done (the part where you say, crap, I hope I'm not going to ruin two perfectly good grills.)

 

Cool project... I thought this was just someone else asking if you could swap the grilles out

I would definitely try to shave the "droop" since you cant remove the big emblem. Maybe paint the surround body-colored after you are done.

Keep up the good work though.

 

Very interesting... I did put in a JDM A33 Grille on my A32 before:

 

That looks really good.

 

That is pretty impressive. I too think the droop should be eliminated and it'll be perfect. Slap a set of Cefiro headlights on there while you're at it and you'll have updated the look of the car by at least 5-6 years.

Props to you for being the first to do it and actually DO it.


Now prepare yourself for the bombardment of PMs saying..."dude, how'd you get that PHAT tyte I35 grillz on your ryde??"

 

your car looks super happy.

 

that would look sick if it were in a cefiro sports grille so theres not 2 Infiniti emblems. A+ for that it looks sick!!!

 

Yeah I always thought the mini logo was part of the grill, but it actually pops right out. In photoshop I removed the droop and it looks way better.

Yeah I need to do something, I'm not sure if it will look nice white, but it might. I don't know who makes it, but somebody just came out with a chrome paint that actually looks like chrome!! if I did a real good job at prepping it and used an adhesion promoter I could get real good results, but what I would really like to find is a gunmetal spraypaint that was actually that black chrome real gunmetal look to match the i35 grill, I think that would look sick.

 

Gunmetal would look awesome too. I never trust those chrome sprays though, but if you found one that looks good

 

That grill is very cool, good work. I'm thoroughly impressed

 

KRRZ350, Nice job...I like it for the most part. The only problem I see is that now there are two Infiniti emblems on the grill. Can the smaller one be removed easily?

 

Thats what im talkin!!!!!!!

 

That looks good...now all you have to do is get some black plastic that can fit around the edges on the side and bottom of the grill to fill it in.

 

Figured I'd post an update, I added an even bigger G35 emblem, and NO the G35 emblem does not clip right in place of the I35 emblem

 

Looks great! How'd you get rid of the "droop?"

Cefiro headlights and it'll look like a new car..

 

Looking good!

Did you use that chrome spray you were talking about? If so, it looks good in the pic.

 

looks sick!!!
i think i'm going to have to look around for an I35 grill and try that

Congrats for innovation!!

 

I don't know how I missed this thread back in March but I'd like to know how you got rid of the droop too.

 

How did you attach the G35 emblem since it didn't clip right in?

 

Nice Job!

 

Pioneer....

 

I missed this post originally and was going to say it looked quite bad but as I followed the thread and saw the improvements you made I have to say you did a really good job and it does look very good. Well done.

 

To get rid of the droop I just ran a peice of tape to give myself a line, then used a dremel, after the dremel I used a file to get it pretty good, I could have done better but you can only tell when you're up close, and I don't really care how it looks up close. As for the G35 emblem, it took some *****, I thought I ruined it and that it was never going to work about halfway through. The problem isn't that it's bigger, well it is, but it also sticks out ALOT more, so basically you need to take it to a bench grinder and grind the **** out of it, get rid of most of the back (clips + about a 1/2 inch), then I had to test fit and grind a little off the recesses for the slats. after about twenty trips back-n-forth to the bench grinder a few peices of 3m body molding tape and your good to go.

YES! I know, it's killing me man, i need cefiros and paint for my front end to look good, I think about it everyday, however I'm selling my benze and I doubt I'll have any $$ left after the 3.5 swap and subframe connectors to even fill the nos bottle

Oh and I didn't use the chrome paint, it's still gunmetal, however I used that stuff on the ugly beat-up rims on my benze and they look friggin' ridiculous!!

 

So you're gonna do the 3.5 swap... sweet.

 

dont do nos man, its a sedan!
oh yea 15 posts!!

 

Personally speaking, I'd ditch the big grill badge.

But...that is just me. If you would like a brand new gold G35 badge, I have one that I'm not using.

 

Is anyone else confused as to the relevance of this last post???

 

and whats up with the way that guy was talking about racing someone for pinks?!

 

Irrelevant post 2 deleted. I had to delete a completely random garbage post yesterday from this guy in this thread. One more and he is outta here!
