Here are pics of my powdercoated gloss black Street Scene grill. Its so gorgeous, that I cant believe more people havent done this:





Opinions, good or bad?

 

Weve been waiting on you Dues!

Looks good man. The all black is hot!

Gonna have to see some daytime pics (as usual) hopefully the "see thru" effect wont be as glaring.

WoooWoooo

 

Thanks bro, I did my best to get good pics. Pics dont do it justice. Powdercoating was a GREAT move and the only way to do it.

 

Ditto, but I'm guessing it looks great without the camera flash.
Nice work.

 

it looks hot! where's upland? i want to see your max in person

 

Excellent work...whats next deus?

 

axa...did u drop the front and rear with eibach?

 

yes i did. i'll be replacing koni/front kyb/rear shocks and eibachs with D2 coilovers soon so i could even out the gap

 

Deus, looks good man, stealth mode!!

 

i wonder what deus is going to paint next

 

looking good Night Rider, you're welcome for the powdercoat suggestion. I was afraid that onyx paint wouldn't last as long.

Looking at the last pic, if the bulbs show up white like that, the corners look better as is.

you know what would make it complete (besides your stillen Kitt of course)? IMO, a powdercoated black hamburger would go nicely. either way, w/ your setup, the grille is tons better black. I see some chrome strips also falling victim to the Blackness.

so how much did the coating cost?

 

that's a good idea nismo. i like how the camrys come with black toyota logo. didn't deus debadged it already?

 

I doubt Ill stick a badge on it. I love the clean look. Powdercoating cost $75 and was done in about an hour. Done locally here near Upland.
Here are daytime pics just taken:






I think the cornering lights REALLY need to be tinted, RIGHT??

Next project is installing my pulley, and painting chrome strips, filling in holes in front bumper where jacka$$ dealer stuck a license plate holder, filling in rear spoiler holes where hamburger was removed, and painting and installing Stillen body kit.

 

Looks great!! I HAVE to get my grille replaced....I just can't decide WHAT!

And, who can do this for me?? Local body shop?

Man Deus... Your car is looking better and better everyday!! Looking forward to seeing your next mods~~

 

Finally, a grille I like. Where can I buy it?

 

Daytime pics look fantastic!!! Very cool Max.

 

Great job......Looks awesome

 

I don't know... I think if you take that Maxima lettering that's on the back (not sure if you debadged yours) and put it in that grill, it would be TEH SEX... just like that photoshop that somebody posted before.

 

Its called the street scene speed mesh grille. but it only comes in chrome or alloy. Deus painted it black.

 

Lookin good Deus...keep up the good work!

 

Here's a quickie: (that's about the size of the stock badge)
Not bad, but looks better the way it is imho.

 

Thanks, but, where can I buy it? I understand he powdercoated it.

 

maybe if he paints it black

 

Tried a Google search on "street scene speed mesh grille" ?

 

Try here http://www.streetsceneeq.com/product_list.asp?mi=5

 

or maybe to match his wheels?

 

I would have that car's baby...

 

Micheal,

Looks awesome!! Great work man. I like Nismos idea, put the burger on there and paint it black also. Or not, whatever, it looks awesome!!

 

 

you gotta shop the black MAXIMA on the grille.

all those choices are tough. okay, so if anyone else does this mod, you have to pick one that isn't already done.

if I ever do this, I have dibs on black hamburger since I have an extra one. My pride won't allow me to debadge. Oh wait, how bout a chrome/red NISMO on the driver/lower corner instead?

 

I got my grille from www.driverfx.com

deus got his from www.stillen.com

 

Ill never debadge...the front and rear 'nissanburgers' atleast. Some ppl want this car to be unidenifiable, i prefer to wear the nissan logo with pride

 

Looks awsome man. One of the angles looked exactly the photoshopped ones from the previous thread. Excellent job. I like the idea of the maxima in the grille, but since your trying to get rid of the chrome, i suppose only black would do on that segment. Either way looks great.

 

Go one better and put a Datsun logo on there

 

I think it needs an emblem in the grille... a black one would defeat the purpose but "black chrome" or gunmetal would look good. Even a regular old Nissan burger would look good.

 

I vote for Bronze burger to match the wheels. Deus, Throw a piece of tint on the cornering lights and see how that looks.

Oh, and wear a Darth Vader helmet when you drive it. lol

 

Ill prolly tint the cornering lights this weekend. Still not in favor of Nissan emblem, but maybe some other emblem would be good. Any ideas for a unique emblem ? MAybe Ill start a new thread for unique emblems.

 

Damn Dues! Your car is starting to resemble a Ninja! LOL!

Good stuff - I like it!

JJT: Thanks, all its needs is to tint the cornering lights and put a headband on it!!!!
