There are two types of the Grille:

Type I: VIP Cefiro Mesh Grille without the Center Bar, so you can have BIG Emblem put in the middle or leave it all Mesh:



On the Cefiro VIR Grille itself, there is an indented area on the top of the grill intended for the Wing (Nissan) or Wing Infiniti Emblem. It would look weird if you don't put any emblem up there. But if you have an "Large" Infiniti Emblem in the center of the Grille, then it may look weird w/ two Infiniti Emblem; I personally think it's okay, because, from far away, you can't really see the infiniti emblem on the wing.


An alternative could be that, we may just have JDM "CEFIRO" Badge in the middle or leave it blank.

The Type Two VIP Grille is just like below:





These also comes with Infinti Wing Emblem (or Wing Nissan Emblems).

These two types of Cefiro VIP Grilles are Custom-made and imported overseas. The lead-time to get these are about 2+ weeks. The Mesh is not the ebay Mesh. But maybe similar to the Bently Continental mesh type but slightly thinner?!

I hope this helps!

Thanks

PS. You were asking me about the lips on my signature, it's actually a set of two-piece side splitter off the Cefiro.

That grille is tight! The only thing missing is a big hood ornament like a bad@ss hawk or ninja!

Type II Photos

Now the photos of Type II installed:






I personally like the Type II over Type One.
Type I is more sporty and you have choice of installing the emblem of your choice or leave it blank
Type II is actually more luxury. And retains the Infiniti Grille look.

Email me if you have any more qustion on these.
A33 Cefiro Mesh grills are in developments stage. I will post more photos as soon as I can.

Thanks

Finally.. for those whom wanna try it with your stock grille.

Finally.. for those whom wanna try it with your stock grille. Please note that these are professionally done, the same people whom custom made the VIP Oversized Cefiro Mesh Grilles.

Here is the Mesh Grille that we have in Mesh (painted all Black:




I think this is well-done
What do ya'll think? I can expect the quality of the A33 grilles in this type of quality, then we are good to go
