Installed the c-mod grille yesterday on my car. Looks clean and simple. I like it. What do you guys think? Oem or c-mod. Also, leave it black or paint match?
I'm getting my bumper fixed this week hopefully and I'm looking for oem bumper if you guys have one let me know :bigthumb:

Can you do the C-Mod with the Nissan emblem? I think that would look good. I vote C-mod anyways.

We think alike. I already ordered the emblem. Stock front doesn't fit so I'm getting the smaller trunk one :mike

Def will. What color should I do it? Keep it black or paint match? My car is going for a complete transformation this week. New fenders, side skirts and rear bumper getting installed. Also fixing my screwed up front

I would leave matte black but i would vinyl wrap matte black the grill cause i think after awhile the cmod will look faded since it doesnt have no protection of paint. You kno what i mean?

well if its the only thing that your keeping black i think itll look out of place IMO. if you kept the lip black and had the rear 08-10 bumper with the black defuser it woulda looked nice but id go with color match since its all white :)

I suggest vinyl wrap the grille and lip in matte black. I love how clean it looks.

Vinyl wrapped black it is. Went ahead and bought an oem bumper from the stealership. $349.78. Unpainted. My ED parts are arriving tomorrow. :mike thanks for the input guys.

Every time I look at a new thread, you are buying something new. Living the dream.

Are you wrapping the whole car, or just the lip and grille?

I'm wrapping just the grille. Body components including lip,grille, fenders, front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts including paint = around 3.6k. Lol im done buying stuff for now. Until the short shifter is back up for sale :naughty:
