My grill is having a problem with what looks like a clear coat peeling off the tooth portion. Has anyone seen this before? My wife took the car to the dealership and they had not seen anything like it before. Of course, I'm past my 36k mile warranty so the dealer couldn't do anything about it. I have a picture, but I don't know how to post it.

 

Stock grill? Then simple... Get new or aftermarket grill for much better look~~

 

well, what do you do when a tooth is bad?........ TAKE IT OUT!!!!!!

 

Thats what prompted me into the trenz....I took it for a carwash and blew off a big piece of the gunmetal colored coating on the tooth, looked horrible, cant be fixed either.

 

Get a Street Scene mesh grill and paint it the body color!!

 

I mean powdercoat it . . . sorry.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yank that biatch! Tie one end to the grill, and another to your front door.....then reverse.....

Seriously, plenty of people have reported that problem. Not much you can do except buy another one (not from dealer) or go aftermarket.

Sounds like a perfect time for an upgrade. Lose those buck teeth!

 

I agree. The grill is the ugliest thing on the car. A new grill makes the front look SOOOOOOOOO much nicer.

 

Looking forward to seeing that done on another color...

 

C.mon, Okiewan, lets see a Winter Frost colored grill on your ride?

 

Time to upgrade! simple and great reason to give her a new smile.

blue powdercoat would look good too.

 

Funny you say that Micheal, I was thinking of doing that to mine. (I have Winter frost also with a trenz grill)



I wonder if it could be done successfully with a trenz grill. Anyone seen or done this? Im sure if it were sanded and powdercoated it could....hmmmm....

The lights would look hot too, huh?

 

Nice sig Jayz!!

 

you know what Jayz? with your black skyview, lower valance, tires...
I think a black grille and lights would look HOT. i guess you don't have black interior though?

 

Nismo, funny you say that also, I was thinking of doing the grill black, vs white. I was also thinking of leaving a chrome rim on the outside, and the burger in also.

Dont suppose any photoshop pros could take a whack at this??

I have the tan interior, but that wouldnt matter much to me. The lights, black or white, would be hot.

Hmmmmm.....

 

You go Jayzmax04! Looking forward to it. I have not the nads.

 

Jay, here's a quickie. Let me know if you want the center of the grill above & below the burger blacked out as well...also did your lights!

 

Wow, thats sharp!!! Go for it!!!! Read my thread of how to blacken ur lights which I will post this weekend.

 

Ooooh, Daddy likey!

Thanks JSmith! If you wouldnt mind, I would love to see it with the blackout out center and burger, but still with the chrome ring on the outside.

It looks like im visiting a paint shop soon....

 

Here you go....

 

Muchas Gracias JSmith!

Knowing your dislike for Trenz, this must have been hard for you. Youre reaching out brotha!!

I like this, think I would keep the burger chrome though....what do you guys think??

Anyone know someone who has painted a Trenz? I saw on here somewhere a guy did it at home, and it didnt go well.....but I guess a paint shop wouldnt have a problem?

Advice?

 

I would get that grill in an instant if it was available with the Nissan Hamburger.

Always ready to take one for the team...and don't read into that.
The more you cover it up the better it looks!!!
(I better log off now so I don't get banned!!!)
Again just my personal taste, but painting it black would be money!!

 

I still want to wake up one morning and find my car looking like this...

 

Someone needs to just buy a plastic injection molding machine so we can make whatever kinda grilles we want. Here guys, someone needs to just bite the bullet and buy this, forget waiting for the after market, and create our own!!

This one makes bumpers! Check it out man!No prices though....can someone check that for me please?

Thats funny. No offense taken team playa. I wish there was a different grill out there. Trenz was better than the stock IMO. 2 each his own.

Now, making our own grills...theres something to think about. Whos the resident plastics expert?

Damn, Dues already has his grill done....

 

Here is my new grill, I`ll be installing it in a day or two. It is like Carcus and Koreanman and JJT. I got input from these guys and decided on it.

 

Remember to Powdercoat the grill, NOT paint, for longevity. Damn that powdercoated grill of mine looks yummy. Im very pleased and it only cost $75 to powder coat it. Had it done over lunchtime.

 

Here is a closer pic of it:

 

And I noticed if u look slightly right of the grill you can see urs truly taking the picture!!!!

 

Is that a photoshopped grill?

Please excuse my ignorance

 

Yes it's photoshpped. I think that the grill was taken from the Australian version of the Max.

 

Nice deus, real nice...I currently have an F'd up OEM grille in my closet (painted black, clearcoated, chipped up) and was wondering if this powdercoating can be done on plastic and if its durable?

 

Dues, it looks like youre not wearing your black members only jacket! Come on bro, if you want the part, you got to look it! Micheal Knight!!

 

04Black: U cant powdercoat plastic becuase the part is heated up to 400 degrees. The guy who did mine had to remove the plastic trim on the top so it wouldnt mely. i re-rivted it back

Jayz: I used to have a black members only jacket. I think I gave it away years ago. I loved that jacket!!

 

So, this makes me wonder, can the Trenz be painted?

 

If its plastic, it has to be painted, not powdercoated. If its metal is SHOULD be powdercoated, not painted.
