I just installed my chrome grill on my ride. Hope you like it. Many mods to come, even before the first car payment is due!

Let me know what you think. I just got the grill off of ebay, it was like $140 shipped. Not a bad price I think. I'm posting some before and after pics.

Some people don't like adding chrome to their cars, but I for one think that your new grill looks slick. I'm thinking I'm going to also want a chrome grill for the Gotham Grey Rogue that I'm looking at getting.

And now to while all the chrome haters come out.

(That last line was really because I wanted to use more icons.... )

We have a blue rogue as well. I'm on the fence about the grill covers but I have to admit it does look pretty nice in your pictures...The only thing I don't like about them is they don't wrap around the inside part of the grill to cover all the blue paint on the stock grill, making it obvious (to me) that that they are stick on grills.

On a side note, what possessed your dealership to stick that big ugly vanity plate holder on the front end of such a beautiful vehicle?

ok, just finished the Chrome grill install also. All i can say is WOW! I knew it was going to look good, but dam it makes the whole car just pop now!

With the Gotham Gray color, it makes it very difficult to tell the entire grill isn't chrome, not just the stick on front. (look at the passenger side grill, it looks like the whole thing is chrome)

and it definitely makes the car look more expensiveHere are the before and after pics

I just got mine too! I'd post pics, but I have the blue also. It looks grooovy!

Note to anyone thinking of having the dealership install...DON'T waste the money! If you can apply stickers, you can manage this! They make it VERY easy!

Now I'm waiting for my bumper guard and I'll be set for a while! {spoiler + grille + bumper guard = no more $$$$!}

Yeah! Here's one ---->http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWD1V

OR if that doesn't work, search ebay for "Rogue bumper". There are others on the forum that have it too, many came w/the car from dealer.

I like the look boooey!!

I just ordered mine off eBay. Says it is "Genuine Nissan Rogue Accessories Chrome Grill" and I paid $154.71 including shipping. Can't wait til it gets here so I can stick it on! Looks way better than the painted grill IMHO.

I shall post before and after pics once it is on so you can see how it looks on the silver.

I really like your Rogue - boooey

I have the same color as you and am thinking of getting the chrome grill - found it for $130 shipped.

You still happy with your purchase?
