Hi new here ! :)

I have an all white 2008 Nissan Rogue
I totally despise it doesn’t have a grill

I saw you can convert to the Krom front end
Are there any other front end conversions for the 08 Rogue?
Would really like to black out the front grill want to go for like a white black panda look

If anyone has a rogue similar to this idea can you post pics ?
Thanks guys !!!

I suggest you buy the chrome inserts and plasti-dip them and the middle emblem. The chrome square and circle part.

This is one option.

I did the middle area black then removed the dip.

I then again plasti dip my rear emblem and the rogue word part. But not the awd sl part.

Did you know that you can remove the front circular emblem. I didn’t know it was that easy that I re-plasti dipped that circular emblem on the front again!

Thanks. I read somewhere on here the 2011 bumper fits an 08, but I guess not then.

Most of those links on the accessories and mods page don’t even work but thanks again. I guess I’ll go with the first guys advice.

My 08 idk how I would install the chrome inserts it’s all one part of the bumper unless you mean buying the stick on adhesive chrome coverings I’ve seen is that what you mean?

Once I remove my front bumper only the middle emblem would remain no?

I'll be working on updating the dead links, but a good number of them are working.

The bumpers are a direct swap. As for the logo, on the Krom version the logo is a separate piece. Ditto for the non Krom edition. On those the grille (also referred to as bushing) is divided into three parts. A right hand section, the logo, and the left hand section.

I blacked out my front and rear badges/emblems with Plastidip, I like it, makes me wonder if I should have done the little grill area as well, or just make everything gloss black.

Considering smoking the taillights, but it's hard to find online examples of ones that I like, all the YouTube videos just go way too dark for me, makes me think maybe they have to for it to come out even or something..

Rain gaurds/deflectors on the way, and considering some front tint :)
