I was looking and so far I found some ses billet grills but they didn't look amazing. Just curious if anyone was able to find something maybe a bit nicer.

That grill looks pretty sweet, I like the painting of the top of the headlights too. I like the look of the Nissan sign which is why I might stay away from that completely custom look. I want to keep my car close to stock but also unique enough at the same time. Very nice grill though!

Looks pretty good. But I kind of like the burger as people refer to it as. The Nissan badge is pretty good compared to a lot of the other car emblems out their IMO... I did see that grill on ebay a few months ago, but was not sure if I should remove the emblem or not. Looks pretty good though! (thumbs up)

I don't know, something about the way it weaves looks a little off to me. Maybe if you took off the chrome mustaches it might flow a little bit more. But the car has a lot of straight lines all throughout the body, that is a bit too "all over the place" IMO. But to each his own!

Curt.. i think that one is the worst of the bunch!

I personally wont be replacing the grill till i figure out a way to get a nice black mesh in there.... I think that you can just get some thick chicken wire and cut that grill yourself for $30 if you have a jigsaw.... It doesnt have a "bead" around the outside so its pretty much just cut out of standard thick chicken mesh in someones garage probably!

Mchedaddi is cooking something up in his garage, he had me relay some stuff to him up in canada from people who wouldnt ship there.. hopefully it will work out nice!

No worries, each their own, right? just don't do it again, haha

EDIT: (haha, I just read the other comment and realized I copied a phrase...that sounded really stupid of me...so for the record I didn't know that was there at first)

I don't like all the little holes in it...I would rather have the billet then the mesh, I just really really liked how clean it was around the Nissan logo, and how it didn't look out of place when it got to the edge.

I have yet to see one that I thought looked good in terms of the bottom piece...those all look horible...
