My grille fell off my car yesterday... - due to my imperfection of grille installation. I guess I didnt put it on right after doing my AE mod.

So, it had tons of scratches on it...and I didnt have any white paint that I thought would match. So I decided to try something different.


Black.... --- tell me what you think - I'm not sure if I like it...

 

I don't think it looks bad... Maybe try some silver mesh behind the grill? Oh and get clear corners.

 

it looks ok, i think the white grill make the car look cleaner

 

With the AE lights, it actually looks pretty damn good.

Ive got a chrome one on my car I'm dying to get rid of... I'm not fond of chrome. I'm just going to paint it the same color as the body.

 

did u paint it white? or is that just a black grill you had?

 

The grill got scratched up when it was white, so he painted it black.

 

it doesnt look that bad. i like it. like he said, you should put something in their, like silver mesh and that would really set it off. oh.. i like those ae headlights, im gonna have to try to do that one to mine.

 

damn i want a black grill but i dont trust myself to paint mine lol

 

I think it looks kinda kool, its different. The white does give it a cleaner look but the black is kinda interesting.

 

Looks different and very good.

 

you sure thats why it fell off


not bad, your getting good at painting grills.

 

you could use some "jdm" black clear corners to help the look. i like it so far.....but shouldn't every SE come with fogs?
seriously, it looks good. what do you have planned for the car?

 

Looks good Bij'.

 

Definately different. I dunno, it isn't bad, but it kinda seems a little ackward with the curves of the car. Either way, nice job bijan.

S

 

it looks pretty good with the black grille since you have AE style headlight. It really flows well.

 

It looks good but i think it will be better with a AE corner light and a JDM black clear bumper lights.

 

it would look great with some silver mesh behind it and the black clear corners

 

Wow Thanks for the comments fellas. See, I DID want to do something different, and I've never seen a black grille on white. But I was weary to do it cuz I didnt know how it'd turn out.


AE corners are comin this weekend...then hopefully it will flow a LOT better. Fogs are comin soon.

 

yea, the black grill looks better than I thought it would. I think it's gonna look sweet with the smoked clear corners

 

Im in the middle of doing this same setup. I purchased an extra set of headlights and a new grill. Just waiting on the grill to come in to paint it black and should be donewith it this weekend.
After Madchef posted this pic of my car photoshopped I decided to do it

Looks like you beat me to it.

 

ha, it's gravy...we're gona set a trend just like LED tails...


CF hood and MAYBE lip are in the future w/ gunmetal wheels

 

I think it kinda looks good....

 

its doable. maybe if you paint the outerlip of it white it will give
it some depth..

 

I never liked the color section on the grill so I painted all flat black about 2 years ago.

 

Tony

haha, that looks good man. even the "lip" to bumper connectors...(where an IC would go) looks hot

 

mines also black after my accident had it like that since 2002

 

i like it

 

I'll be doing something similar with a 97 grill on my 96. I'll be painting the outside vertical posts and the middle horizontal bar red(car is black). Also reverse the front nissan symbol to silver lettering and black burger.

 

Yea I was thinking of leaving the vertical parts white, and the horizontal black...but - oh well.

 

before I finished my bodywork. I had just re-worked my grill so it would fit.

 

the 240 rims look nice, any full side pics with them on? any fitment issues?

i'm getting a flat black grill soon and putting it on, anyone know how the hamburger is stuck on to the stock grill? and how hard it is to get off? thanx in advance

 

 

I had the 97 grill on unpainted for fitment reasons(95 bumper+97 grill = DREMEL)
I thought it didn't look that bad at first, but got sick of it in a couple days. The emblem is on with double-sided tape. I would not do it personally, but it's your car
btw: no fitment issues with the wheels

 

Double sided tapes. Not that hard to get it off. I just went and bought a new one because mine had some rock chips on it.

 

white max's for life!

 

kinda hard to tell but here is my rosewood max with a black grille

looks good with the a/e headlights

 

better picture here

 

Damn Carl...you blacked out the bumper lights...unique man!

 

hmm now that i see it i dont think im gonna do it

 

Looks good on 1MAX2NV's car. I think he was the pioneer of this idea. The reason why it looks good on his car is because it matches his wheels and white on black looks pretty bad IMHO. If u had Sterling mist and black wheels you could probably pull it off too.
