I vote for the eBay mesh grille. I think it's one of the best looking visual mods one can do to the V.

Option 3 - Stillen mesh grill... between the 2 you listed, I'd go for the VersaSpeed one... more for your money.

2 parts plus screws. You remove the stock grill, then just align the VS grill and screw it in place.

There's better pics on Bob's blog and I think he made a thread when he installed his... also Code Red has one (I believe)

??? Hard ???What do you mean?And I don't think anything about a grill would void a warranty... except maybe a lack of grill...

The eBay one looks like a Tiida copy, also the quality might not be all that great and less durable then the others due to it being made of fiberglass instead of ABS plastic.

Versaspeeds grill is nicely done plus they will give you better customer support.

Stillen grill seems to give you the option of easiest removal of the three if you choice to return the front back to stock look.

I would go with the VersaSpeed grill. It fits great, all you need to do is drill a couple holes a screw it in. I bought mine from a guy off of the forums without any hardware and a broken piece that we welded back on.

Looks great, and took hardly any time to install!

I agree, I have the S(blacked out) version and it looks pretty sweet. Specially on light-colored cars.

.:EDIT:. Here's mine...

Your grille is the same as the 2007-2009 models.

I think JayyV09 was referring to the following 2010 model grille on the S & SL models (not on base models):



I love chrome and added the following to my Versa, a chrome grille:

It's similar because mine doesn't have the chrome trim.

Yes but the design is the exact same.

You'll notice the other 2010 models have a different style grille.

Do you think I have a 07-09 grille? I dont really know the difference between 07-09 and 2010 parts yet.

Your car is a 2010, but your grille is the same as an 07-09. I don't know whether they would call your grill a 2010 or not because if you go order a 2010 grille from the dealer it's the newer style that I pictured above (in the blue Versa).

I just found a carbon fiber grill on eBay. Will post pictures once it arrives and is installed (should look good with the euro style headlights I put in last weekend).
