welcome to NICO.

There is a horrible Billet grill made by nissan, any thing else thus far is custom.

Check my introduction page, I did a little custom work that a lot of people seem to be a fan of.

I'll bump it up so you can see it, not sure how far it's gone down the list lol.

You know, I actually don't mind the stock grill. Most Nissan grills are so nasty they drive me insane, but I think the spec V grill is ok. Not dope, badass, bitchin, killer and all that stuff - but ok... Most of the custom grills I have seen for our car don't impress me so Im keeping the stocker for now. I would like to see some nice options for it though.

I work in the parts dept. at a Nissan dealership so I've been keepin my eye out for anything that is coming out for our cars. I know a nismo CAI is coming out soon, after that an exhaust. Nismo installed by a Nissan certified tech won't void my warranty. I think the stock grille is ok also minus the chrome and Nissan emblem.

I doubt NISMO will release anything for this car, so unless you have a direct NISMO source telling you in writing, it's nothing but hearsay.

Nismo is based in japan, and there is no japan spec v, it's on a french chassis, and built in mexico and it isn't even marketed in japan so I highly doubt NISMO will even take an interest in the spec, otherwise they would have already.

They can't void your warranty for modding your car anyway, they can only void your warranty on specific parts based on specific modifications.

The B15 didn't exist in Japan either. Nissan knows there's money to be made with NISMO parts for this Sentra, too.

Um how? The SE-R grill is bigger then the 2.0L grill, its not a direct swap, unless you swapped the bumper too.

This forum needs IM!!

75 huh? Hummm I don drive on 75 much and I'm sure I would have noticed another Spec-V (unless it was at night MAYBE). What part of town you live in? I'm up in little elm area.

yeah im down near richardson usually between beltline and 635 although occasionally im up in the allen area to visit mom

course lately ive been in the shop more often than not

back on topic though u know i rented a 2.0 while my steering rack was being replaced and i kinda prefer that grill id like to hollow one out and see what it looks like but with all my recent fukups im strapped for cash

although being so roomie behind our center console plastic im looking into installing a USB drive behind it for my pda to connect to for music, also looking at getting a touchpad pc to replace the stereo system all together this would me some home grown mods for me as i like to keep it cheap but with the space provided and a set of replacement panels coming to me free i think i might can pull this off

definaltly get some springs though these cars are like 2 inches 2 tall for factory and 3 inches for me
