IMO, looks ugly and the color doesn't even match the radiant silver.

I like some of the stuff coming out...just not enough to put on my own car...After further consideration, I would vote no on this grille as well.

Sorry but it makes the Coupe really cheap/ghetto.

Honestly, I would leave the Front Grille stock.

????

The grille is chrome - just like the original chrome mustache. The grille is not supposed to be body color.

IMO, The angle of the picture, plus the ugly grill makes the car look like a cheap Toyota or something... It doesn't look like a Nissan.

Ugh, looks very cheap IMHO, but to each his own, there is a stright bar chrome one that doesn;t have the prnonunced ugly edging that looked ok, but I still haven't seen anything I really like.

Doesn't get my vote. I'd like to see a grille in black and maybe 3 to 5 horizontal lines...not the 8 or so of this one.

The grill could look good on a dark car and then have it color matched. It would look real slick in a black A_Coupe when the grill is color-matched.

I don't think Toyota's are cheap nor overpriced. They are the best bang for the buck and with exceptional reliability. Other than the new Camry and their trucks, their designs are a bit boring. Once the Supra comes out though it will go head to head with the Skyline/GT-R and then we'll see a real comparison.

Get it painted, or paint it yourself. It shouldn't be to difficult.

Painting is easy to do yourself. All you need is sand paper (300-400 grit), spray paints (primer, black and clear coat) and one free day. It won't even cost more than $20 and you'll appreciate it more since you did yourself. Plus the chances of them coming out with a similar black one is pretty slim. They'll probably make one with mesh grill soon though.

I'm With you guys. I am passing on this grill. It's too much for this beautiful car. Does not compliment the car at all.

I don't like the grill either.

1) It's too flat for a grill. I see it trying to copy the G35's grill, except their grill has lines that jut out that give it more depth. The lines also very in thickness.

2)It's too much Chrome, that I always see myself asking if it's plastic.

It's a good try for another design than the mesh.

Makes the coupe look like it was in a front end collision and it was just repaired.

All I want is 3 horizontal bars that match my precision gray coupe. No moustache, no chrome, no mesh, no bulls***.
