now that is even hotter than before, except in real life there would have to be a seam at the bottom (like a couple of you guys are talking about) where the grill meets the bumper. might be too hard to replicate in p.s. however i would never underestimate the powers of mcheddadi when it comes to that. for now i will just imagine the seam but that is the grill i want hands down...

that grill and the Stillen side skirts and my exterior would be complete...

Yep.. that's coming close to our original sketches on the design, except the mesh would be inset just a little bit, to add some depth..

perfect! Thanks alot

I am in. I think that on mine I will do the Nismo logo on the drivers side top corner, like alot of people have done. I think it adds a little bit of character because the mesh is so big (compared to other grilles). Now I just have to buy something Nismo so that I don't feel bad for rocking the badge...

Or.... you could rock a Stillen logo, seeing how they'll be hooking us up with the grille.

WOW! The photoshops just keep getting better and better. If you have the time can you set the car up with a lighter color: silver, precision grey ect with the black surrounding and grille? Loving how the car looks.

Let's not get to far ahead of ourselves. This is one thing Josh had concerns about when approaching an interest topic. Doesn't want the Altima community to get upset or frustrated with development time. But I share everyones desire to have one now.

Our cars were already head turners stock, but with all the parts we have, and the many more parts that are on the way....................

Cant wait until this grille is available so I can purchase it that day.

Hate to say this but I can say I don't feel mesh grilles. I don't like the honey comb either though... I like the mesh more than the honey comb... SIGH

Well for the record on this one, I would imagine the final material would be a DIY'ers dream.. most mesh in these setups would be fastened in the back.. if you wanted to source your own material for a different/custom look, it shouldn't be that difficult.. but I'm getting way ahead of myself.

And thank you Robert, you hit the nail on the head.. I'm working to get this approved/moved into the production phase.. but that hasn't happened.. please don't get anxious guys, I would hate to disappoint you when it's not available next week..

not to get too far ahead but what would be a rough estimate of how much it would cost for one of these grills when you guys produce them

when I got my bolton grille from carriageworks, I got the lower bumper and upper bumper grille for 200$. So I say bettwen 200$ and 300$ would be a great price point for the stillen OEM replacement grille

I guess that makes only 2 of us that aren't feeling the mesh? Suppose I'll wait to see what Stillen comes up with before I make final judgement.

I love the first pic in this post. I'm looking for a front fascia that really dresses up the coupe with out taking away from the main lines of the car it's self. Is this something that is being talked about or just the grill replacement? looked at the other Stillen front fascia and just don't like the open space at the bottom.

no. i was thinking about putting the stock Nissan logo back on the grill. OR (like someone else said) a Nismo logo in the top right corner..... but i'd have to have something Nismo to sport the badge lol

Agreed although if stillen included a lincense plate frame with my dampeners :cough: I'd rock that other than my Injen frame
