the anticipation is too high. Its actually a Mugen grill off of a '96-'98 civic. I'm sick of seeing only factory grills or the Trenz ones. And the Home Depot Racing grills just look horrible. Anyways, I like it.

this should be a rule here on .org !

never ever touch the 97-99 factory grill, that thing is just SWEEET !!!

just because an aftermarket one is available doesnt mean you need to replace it or that its gonna look GOOD.

IMO the vertical slants aren't in harmony with the lower valance.

I like it. I had bought the same grille a year or two ago wanting to put it in my car but never found the time and now I have the urethane skyline kit and that has a grille built in.

Trenz is even worse...

Interesting idea...i didnt know a civic grille would fit into the 95-96 grille. Will a 95-96 grille fit a 97-99? I think the Civic Type R grille would look pretty good...

I like the originality...but it kinda looks like someone knocked the teeth out of your car. Maybe some mesh would help.

Although everyone has the simple OEM grille, i think it works best out of all. Good job for creativity

I agree 100%. You have one of the sweetest if not THE sweetest grill on a 4th gen. I printed off a picture of the car from that Baddest Maximas site. Didn't know it was yours. Hope you don't mind that your car is taped on my bedroom door.

It's different, I'll give you that. But I would rather stick to my home depot $2 grille.
