Anyone know where to get a grille like this and how much it costs? I tried searching and could only find the OEM grille with the emblem.

Thanks

I'm on my phone and can't zoom in to get enough detail. Is the hole there where the emblem would be?

You can plastidip/ paint the factory grill

Buy the Midnight Black Grille (Nissan product) - see mine below

Or make your own by using the grill frame, clean out the center plastic horizontal pieces, and stretch plastic or metal mesh across it, adhered with glue (what us 02-05 Altima guys did back in the day)

Actually, the more I look at the picture you posted, that's either Photoshopped or a really odd shadow on his grille.

It looks like a customized OEM grille, real or photoshop like Altim8M37 said.

H-style and Impul both make emblem-free grilles for the early Y51 that could be painted black. Impuls can be found on eBay ($$$). Good luck with the H-style. I have reached out to several importers about shipping for their rear bumper garnish and have not heard anything back.

Thanks for all the info. I figured it was a custom thing or photoshop, otherwise I would see more examples online.

Just for reference, here's the mesh (can't link from eBay on my phone, have to search for it) if you want to do it yourself. My recommendation is to buy the cheapest grille you can find that fits the car and manipulate that one instead of trashing your OEM original. It's actually quite easy. Cut the mesh to fit just inside of the grille frame and glue it down.

Nice! Custom work costs money but you get what you want. I personally prefer the chrome around the grille since there is so much elsewhere on the car (foglights, window trim, emblems, etc.).

It's probably cheaper to get the headlights painted then to find and buy a set. I look forward to seeing your rides progression!

That's what I love. You can't find it, make it. Looks great.
