So I removed the old emblem from underneath the sandwich logo. I evened out the sandwhich logo so that its lines run straight with the lines of the grille. As you can see from pic #2, I have to fill in the hole left behind from the old emblem. I'll think of something, shouldn't be tough.

 

looks sharp... definitely an improvement over the two emblems stacked over each other. very 5.5 gen-eske, nicely done

 

looks good...I still think you should smoke the hamburger, but it looks good anyhow!

 

I got my aluminum strips today. Will be putting them on tomorrow and take more pics. WOOT! =D

 

I guess all that feedback helped out. Looks much better! Good work.
Was wondering if you could post a how to?

 

how did u make the grill look like that?

 

i like it alot arnold.

You know what would look even better... No nissan logo at all...


I think you got what you wanted though,and good job!

 

looks so much better esp in pic 2.

 

niiiiiiiiiiiiice

 

Looks real nice, very inovative!

 

im lookin to get a chrome diamond cut grill but i gotta 00se and i dont have that chrome lining aroun dmy grill like the gle's what should i do and were can i buy this piece??

 

Hey Arnold, I really like it! How exactly did you do that because that is the look I have really been wanting for my black AE.

 

is that a 5.5 gen grille? or just a regular 5th gen painted?

 

very nice though!

 

wow!!! LOoks good Arnold

 

Thanks guys.

They're plastic strips that I cut up to match the dimensions of the grill. The strips are about 2 inches wide and I used double-sided to apply them to the grille. I took them off yesterday and stripped the paint. The paint was a little messy so I'm repainting them now. The emblem is still on, though.

 

I am guessing that is the 5.5 emblem. Where did you pick it up from and how hard was it to remove the old one and put that one on?

 

It actually isn't a 5.5 emblem. I believe it's from the back of an Altima. And removing the emblem was cake. It's taped to the grill with double-sided adhesive and sits on two pins. Just slide in a thin knife and it'll peel off.

 

Awesome! Any idea where I might be able to buy one?

 

eBay's your friend.

 

Great, thanks for the tip Arnold. I have really wanted to improve the front of the car and the look of yours really impresses me.
