My grill is cracked and I'm looking for a replacement. Show off your front grill and where you got it and how much etc. Need something that looks good and subtle nothing too gangster.

A few options I am only aware of, not enough to populate a thread....

1. 97-99 Grill
see the last pic below #4.


1a. 97-99 Grill Debadged (Avail off of ebay)



2. 95-96 Grill



2a. 95-96 debadged



3. Nismo/Sarona Grill

4. The Landshark Grill (none at all lol).

(No grill on the left, stock 97-99 on the right, but painted)

Then once you choose your grill, paint it, vinyl it, whatever your mind leads you to....

You must realize one thing though, if you have 97+ and going to a 95-96 grill it will take a little bit of customization for it to fit, vice versa if u have a 95-96

I just painted the burger black, and then covered (wrapped) the whole grill with plastic screening.

Eyy aackshun, did I say you could use a pic of my old CG2 4th gen? Just kidding.

Anyway, I've got something custom coming soon modeled after the badgeless Sarona one that's so expensive and it'll cost half as much to make.

Found at the junkyard...funny thing is, the pegs line up perfectly with the holes in the grille for the burger, which has been missing since I bought the car

That looks pretty bad and out of place on that grill.

Yep.

Well, the angle doesn't help. I was taking the photo in the garage and the badge sticks out a fair amount. I was thinking of Dremeling grooves so it would fit nicer around the bar.

I mostly put it in there because I thought it was funny. My car's not winning any beauty contests. If I take it off, I've got some Peugeot 405 badges for my trunklid, which some d-bag de-badged.

Although most people would consider it not worth the time invested, I cut the surface from the center bar from my 97-99 grille leaving the vents behind it, plastic welded in the end pieces, and painted the grille. I'll have to post up some pictures tomorrow. I think it blends the best of the 95-96 and 97-99 grilles.

Are you kidding me? That's hands down best grill I've ever seen on any Nissan. Or any car.

Was originally chrome. Spray painted black. Very simple mod that looks exceptionally good, IMO.
