Hello,

Anyone have a good website for aftermarket grilles? I had a Sarona Design Grille on my '04 Maxima that looked awsome! I'm not looking for an insert, I want a replacement grille.... Anyone?

Haven't bought it yet. Maybe in the next few days. It will be an 2008. Most either coupe or sedan. It depends on what cash incentives Nissan comes out with on March 1st.

We really neeed a grill or a front kit.

The A/C has a very rounded front grill and bumper.. I'm really thinking a front that slops down would look nice, like the GT-R, R8, Aston Martin-esque, but.

Here's a picture I meshed together, heh.

I thinking a nice design where the front would slope would be nice. It doesn't have to imitate any of the models described, even there are certain trends out there right now like a giant grill, or having a secondary color inside.

Just my notice on aesthetics.

I hope stillen makes a grille or just offers the black grille that comes with the fascia.

The grille on the Stillen front fascia is nice but I think its a little too plain. Im still hoping someone will take the initiative and make a better looking grille.

Yea definately, if Stillen offered the grill from the fascia, combined with Stillen's urethane front lip spoiler; that would be a beautiful thing. I would be first in line for it. Maybe if the guys from Stillen read this, they will make it happen real soon.

as for the stillen fascia grille it is actually molded with the fascia and the top of a non stillen bumper is different so it would not work. I also spoke with margret at stillen about just a grille and she said that there are no plans for just a grille. However maybe if we could show some serious interest in the project they might take note.they would sell alot of these grilles I think most people would by just a grille from them since there are like 3 threes about the grille. Whoever makes a decent grille first will cAsh in for sure. I am game for just a grille because I would rather have a new grille and there lip spolier than the whole fascia.

We have seen interest expressed on our fascia grille available separately, I'll definitely bring that to the next new products meeting, but can't confirm if it will be available in the future, or any timeline.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Thats whats good, I just hope the next products meeting isnt too far away. I definately need something else other than just HID's for the front of the car even though I love them.

I actually contacted an autobody company and asked if they'd be willing to make a grille for us. I explained how this was basically an untapped resource for them with so many people wanting to change their grilles. They said It'd be tailor made for us depending on if the admin lets us take a poll of which material and design we like best. Possibly if I'm really nice have a group buy? Lol, who knows but if not I'll just give everyone their information. What we've been talking about is just a simple black/chrome mesh grille (no border) and an alternative simple billet grille (no border). They said they'd throw a couple of ideas around and some designs. Also, if anyone is interested in a free, probably the best looking and available, grille they need a car for Research and Design. I think they're located in Michigan. I know theres at least one guy from MI. Also, They actually only do custom grille making so for us it'd be one of their only semi-mass produced grilles but quality is insured. I've seen some of their work it looks great. I'll keep you guys posted!

Cheers

Adidas, that would be awsome. Maybe thereis something that we can do on our end to help like start a thread and getpeople to sign in based on interest so they can get a real feel for how many they could look to sell up front and begin to see if it would be profitable. My guess is they may be afraid that it would take away from fascia sales. However, good luck and good looking out.

I would appreciate that homie, im really looking for something soon. I was going to go with the fascia, but I would rather have a real, real nice grill like the one from the fascia. If they make a grill, i would buy the bumper at the same time no doubt. Im sure a lot of people would go with that combination. Appreciate it again homie
