So a local shop, Golden Customs, that has been doing most of my work and Razah9's work says they're willing to make a new grille for the altima coupe. They've been making custom grilles for over 15 years and the shop has been in numerous magazines. They won a season of Funk Master Flex's car wars and right now have DJ Scribble's hummer sitting in their showroom lol. Enough credability- The grille is going to be completely influenced by consumer preference - meaning I need feedback right now! So far I've told him that the consensus seems to be that most people want a full replacement black mesh grille and someway to get rid of the Chrome Mustaches- he says he can do both. He also asked me if there would be any interest in laser etching something into the grille to make it truly unique. Think of ideas and what you guys would want and hopefully this grille will be out soon!

Here's their website:http://www.goldencustoms.com/

Tell them to start with this.....



I have to say, I feel very loyal to Stillen for their immediate support for our community but someone needs to jump on being first to market with a nice grill. So if they get one out first, more power to them. If nothing else, hopefully this thread will light a fire under some R&D departments a$$'s because we all know the first company to come out with a nice grill is going to rake in some immediate $$$.....

I like the Nissan Sport compact style, minus the buck-tooth-buger... maybe just a downplayed black spacer in the middle...

I like the first one in Mc's last post. I also like the grill from the Stillen fascia.

~Mcheddadi: maybe number/letter the pics so we can comment on them easily? Awesome work with all the chops btw.

It's ****ing sick. I love those rims and how there is no gap at all.

Anyone know what rims are on either the 5th or 6th car?

No its not. It makes the A/C look like a Scion Tc. I like them all except the last three Nissan sports concept ones.
