Shot of the new lower grill....sorry is dark outside.

Shot of the new lower grill, hey, to me was a great buy for only 40 bucks.....can't beat that. Install was guess not that bad, did it on my lunch break. Sorry for the darkness of the pics, but promised I would take one. The camera was on triple flash and I took it at a weird angle.....night time...winter, you know, more to come.



And no, the headlights were not on, just reflection, yes, the pic taken in the evening sucks....but you get the idea, also, you can see part of the radiator with the flash, does not look like that in the sun....matches my grill in the sig pic. Very happy with it, last time I checked, the lower grill was 135 bucks or so, was happy to get it for only 40 bucks.

Ebay special.....would look good on your car too DvSMAXXX04 with your grill as well.

Quality is not as good as my upper billet one but for 40 bucks.....they sell the upper one also for 50 bucks...again, not the same quality as my upper but for the price, good match.

I think it looks a bit stange the way it just stops at the ends, I know there's nothing that can really be done but it seems like the design isn't finished. I wonder if they could make one that ran around the corners and opened up to accomodate the cornering light? It does match your upper grill nicely and finish off your front end though Carcus and for $40, why not. $.02...

Disclaimer:
I am an admitted "billet hater" always have been though.
Again no offense to anyone just my personal opinion!!!

Get the stillen lip spoiler... or photoshop it. Will really make your car stand out. I wanted to install that bumper grille, but mu spoiler is already in and I don't want to take it off and risk damaging it....

No cutting, just clipped right on...well, took a bit of finesse, and 2 screws in the clips....done.



Kinda a better pic I guess.

As far as the Stillen stuff, never liked the body kits....way too much and it really looks almost like stock, at least the front and sides.

You're right, but you won't see the gap between the cornering light and the end of the bumper grille... YOu'll just see your bumper grille in the center, making a V-shape under the main grille. Just take a look at it.

I did take a look at it....the dollar factor does not make me feel it. Fine with me how it is. Believe me, I have seen all the Maxima body kits....well, 2 of them and they are just not my thing....than add shipping, prep, paint, install....you see what I mean. Gap on the side is better than the gap in the wallet.

Carcus, when you say "lower quality" of the lower grill than that of the main front grille, what do you mean by that...

I think thats the grill where the chrome part is just on the front edge. The bars are mostly black, except for the front edge?

I saw that auction too and wondered how it would look with my Trendz grill.

For some reason just does not feel as sturdy. It matches with the top grill....but for only 40 bucks, great deal. I am not sure if these will match the Trendz.

I had to same challenge with the clips & screws myself. I have a similar grill but with straight lines not the "V". I will post pic someday! Haven't been home since 1/10/05. It's just sitting in the Garage!

I saw a car over here in NJ last week with that grille. Looked ok in motion, but a bus blocked my view to get a good look as it turned down the road. Personally, I also don't really like how it just ends. Tho i wouldn't mind seeing what it looks like with the stillen lip installed as well.
