You can use commercial ones, or you can use free ones like Flickr.

Once you have done that, you will need to get the specific URL to the photo.

With that URL, click on the image button in the post editor, and paste the URL between the [IMG][/IMG] tags (between the ] and the [ ).

Couple more, again lighting sucks but gives an idea.

Very well done! Nissan should have done that from the factory.

I wonder what the front end would look like with the mesh you just added painted chrome.. along with the rest of the front grill around the nissan logo? Too much chrome perhaps..

Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

and do you hear any noise or rattling when going faster?
its a great idea, as long as it doesn't looked "rigged" when its on up close.

i really don't want to see zip ties holding something onto my car.. so i really wanna know where you used them

thanks!

Problem solved.

Add a link to NICOclub to your site!

I placed the zip ties on the verticle pieces of the grill, and used 2 ties per verticle. 1 on top of horizontal piece, and 1 around the verticle at the bottom of grill opening. Also had 1 on each corner of the verticle piece. Once applied the zip tie can be rotated a bit so the the connection of the tie is against the mesh. No noise rattling or any other problems noted. I have had up to about 70mph and no issues. droopy

thanks for the instructions droopy!
I actually installed it tonight

I even used gray zip ties to go with the my Gotham Gray paint.. but i may switch to black, as they kinda show a little more down in the shady areas

Thanks droops.

Thanks droopy170- this is a great idea!

I drove to the store, and when i got back home there were aready a few leafs in the netting, so although minor, it does block some debris nicely.

here is my install, thanks again for the idea droopy!

I used 4in zip ties

PS let me know if I missed anything significant on the install "guide", or if you found an easier way to do anything. D

I am still amazed at how good it looks for being a 4 dollar modification.

On a side note.. i walked past a Murano in the parking lot at work and noticed their grill is completely wide open at the bottom also.

I, too, thought that the lower grille area just didn't look the best, so, I
painted all the background behind the lower grille with semi-gloss
black, then.... I installed a single chrome strip on the single horizontal
grille bar, then.... I bought a roll of black rubber door edge moulding and
cut to exact length, and placed them over the 8 little vertical braces
that secure the center grille bar.

This gave it a look of a "floating" single chrome bar in the lower grille.

(P.S. You will now notice that I have since removed the 1" moulding
around the complete lower grille opening....the more I looked at that
part, the more I didn't like it......the rest I liked, so stays.)

mistergib, zip ties are practically invisable unless you know they are there. Please post a pic of your idea, I'd love to see it.

of my grille work...

Thanks a huge lot, Droopy!

Put it on our FIT, as well as the Rogue. used 8" ties 'cuz we live at high altitude where UV munches the 4 inchers pretty quick. Doesn't look quite as smooth, but OK.

The really cool thing about your suggestion is that I've had a roll of that stuff gathering dust in the barn for much too long. Finally got to use it. THANKS!!!

Even found a place for it on our JD tractor! Cool!

Just thought I would upadate everyone. Still no issues with the install after 4 months. All kinds of weather and driving conditions. No problems at all.
