good price

I had mine done for $75 dollars, you got a good price. I was having the hood repainted at the time, so I figured they would cut me a deal and do it at the same time. Supposedly they would normally charge $150, so $75 seemed like a good deal.

I personally think it looks pretty cool painted black, this is the way it should have come from the factory - I guess they have to cut corners somewhere.

the place that told me $93 gave me that price if i took the grill off myself and brought it to them it would have been $150 (1.5 hours more labor) if they had to take the grill out themselves. i love how they charge you for literally 50 times more labor than it actually takes. taking the grill out is a 2 minute job.

Looks bad as*. I can't wait until a grill comes out for us (2k2). According to greg at custommaxima, in 2 weeks. That damn nissan logo is WAY to big.

i actually got to school in Harrisonburg so i got it done down here.

gigantic emblems seems to be the theme for 2002. honda did it, acura did it, nissan did it, toyota did it.

Man that looks mean! I think black makes it! I don't think it would work as well if the car was not black.

Great looks. Absolutely what the grill should have looked like from the factory, IMHO. I would do the same thing to mine, but with the "Sterling Mist" paint, my grill pretty much matches already.

Wish I could figure out a way to mod the grill to get rid of the "NISSAN" chrome piece in the center.
