I just got this street scenes lower valence grill today for my 01 and I'm having a hard time deciding if I like it or not. I hate the big opening in the lower grill, but I'm not sure if the new grill flows well or not. I'm thinking it almost looks kinda cheap....but I can't decide whether to leave it stock or keep the grill. Here are the pics:

If I decide not to keep it, i will be selling it...

Thanks for the input.

 

Looks OK, you might want to match the top grille with the lower valance opening thought. IMO.

 

Personally, never been a big fan of chickenwire-esque grilles.

 

I think it looks fine, I actually kinda like it lol

 

Get the top one to match or else keep it stock.

 

get the top grill piece to match and you be good....if not, leave it stock...looks fine to me

 

it looks fine, but i would suggest to only keep it in if you mod the top grill, seeing how its black plastic, and the lower is chrome-ish. it will look smoother and will flow better if both grills look the same, or at least the same color. if you want to sell it, i need one, cause the support looking things that are in the bottom grill are broken on my 00 max. it should fit right? (00-03 is same basic shape/size?)

 

yea i'll be keeping the top grill stock....so im leaning towards selling the lower grill

 

paint it black and keep it.

i have 2k3 front bump on my 2k white max, so just the lower insert painted a lighter gray/silver than it came, with my stillen f. lip looks great. But your car being dark in color you have to match or at least come close to a darker lower grille so it will blend in more. right now it;s sticking out to much, darken it and it'll look good. light on dark = bad flow just like if mine were dark on light= bad flow. no on upper + lower as it looks cheap imho.




p.s before i changed over to the 2k3 bump for my 2k i bought the larger 2k3 nissan front grille hamburger emblem and put it on my 2k grille. you'd be shooked at what a better look it gave her. might want to try that, i payed $32 for it at my local dealership.

 

got my vote.

 

I agree here. Top grill or stock! (Maybe paint match?)

 

 

yea i decided to sell it...

I'm with Maxima112- paint it and pimp it

 

they look ugly as anything... glad your getting rid of it. id say get a black grille-tech insert.

but even thats ugly, i dont like any of the combinations so 02 front cover is what i plan to convert to, a LOT more options.

 

I have the grille-tech inserts in the lower part on my bumper. I think it looks great on the 5.5 gen. I didnt listen when everybody told me they would rust, and they are starting to turn brown from all the road salt this winter.
