06-07 Mesh grille install

[New2Import]

Got it and did a prefit before paint. Have to say it fits like a glove. Here are a few snaps. I take it to paint tomorrow.





You can see alot more air can hit the radiator now!

Not too bad looking, I'm sure it will look much better with it painted (and with the logo back on??). It looks like the mesh and frame are plastic, are they?

can you get some farther away pics of the car with the hood closed?

Its made with some quality. The frame is fiber glass but its kinda thin for my taste. It had to be to fit properly though. The mesh is metal. You can easily change it out to something else if you desire. Its held in with metal clips. It doest use all the factory tabs but it does the job.

Im taking it to paint today. Next pics will be on the car with it properly installed. I have to find a emblem to go on it now.

Hmmm, no good. I think everyone was interested in the before and after photos...

[blfolson]

Ill post some pics once i get it on the car but here is the grill painted and cleared

[blfolson]

i dont see why the rear truck or simalir emblem wouldnt work.

may need an addtional bonding agent to secure to the mesh but other wise i think it should be fine.

Ill get one, stick it on and see how it looks and holds

[blfolson]

you know this Emblem

Will look nice if it is places in the lower left side of the mesh.

You have to have an imagination, but it would be different and i think pretty neat (at least in my own mind)

I may give it a try and post a pic to get some feed back

Noooo!!! Dont!!! Please!!!

[BiiiigTeddy35X]

For some reason when I look at it I see ford crown vic police interceptor...but that's before painting and infiniti badge

[blfolson]

Noooo!!! Dont!!! Please!!!

I just noticed that is the trunk emblem so it would be to large to place off center in the lower left of the grill.

But i still think a smaller version of that wording off center in the lower left would be nice.

I seen a CTS-V with a simalir style and it looked pretty good ( again in my eyes)Also the E&G Classic grille for the Range Rover is off center

Im thinking off center also. But may go with the trunk emblem. But Nissan emblem looks nice also. May go that route. You got yours painted really fast. You beat me to it lol.... How you securing the lower part. Mine is a little loose and I was going to add something to make it more secure.

I like this look though

Here it is on a Maxima

Got it painted. In search for emblem.

[ken in az]

Looks really good! Only thing I can recomend is the upper Chrome trim be paint matched as well but it still looks great!

[New2Import]

Im taking that in also when I do get my mirrors.

[bredtime]

Looks good I think. Please take a few more pictures standing a bit further away

[blfolson]

[bredtime]

WOOAH! That looks so good

Definitely on my to-do list for my M!

[nadzak]

Very, very hot!!! Too bad this grille does not fit the 08-09 models, because I would definitely go for it...

[fiveliterbeater]

hey blfolson, i probably missed it, but where did you find that Infiniti emblem ?

[blfolson]

at the infiniti dealership

turns out all the trunk emblems are the same sizes and will a fix to the mesh grille just fine

[FndMspot]

Was going to ask the same thing......how much they cost?

[blfolson]

the grille is $150.00 (not painted)

the emblem was $42.00

[fiveliterbeater]

dam your M looks sexy! im totally gonna bite your style now! thanx for the info!

[LLJes1]

blfolson, that looks sweet! really digging it. just finishes off the look completely.

[nadzak]

new2import, did you color match your hood trim? If so, why dont you post updated pictures so that we can see how other colors look like? Blfolson's black M looks great with that color matched grille. Lets see other colors
