Just figured out that MSV was shut down, figured I would make an account on here since thats where other members are at.



Btw, I just removed the grille, but I was wondering if I have to put something in its place? I've been looking for pictures of other members cars because I remember some without a grille.

Unless you want some damage to your rad and maybe other engine parts, I would definitely put up something in its place. There's always things like small rocks/stones and other types of debris flying around on the road especially if you're on the highway, the grill does offer some protection to the front of your engine.

just a thought for your grill keep the stock one and paint it they look really good when they are done

Who painted yours? That looks really good, and something that I definitely considered before.

I would also be interested in what paint to use? Maybe a plastic paint rattle can. I know duplicolor has some "wheel" paint good for plastic and I've heard it holds up well if you clear coat it.

Well hopefully the Spec V owners can get a site to themselves again, because it was nice to not have to root through multiple car models, but oh well. I still have the grill off, but I really want to get it painted before I put it back on.

You guys have http://www.b16sentra.com/ all to yourselves.

We're actually looking for a couple staffers to edit the homepage, make it feel a little more like "home" and add some useful info and links to it - coding experience or prior moderating experience preferred!

Lacking the grille. I kind of like it, but then again that red spec v with the all black grille is awesome.

Old news.

Hey, Mehdi... If you're feeling creative, we could use some artwork for the B16 homepage using cyc's car....

I think this one (with some P-chopping) would be perfect.... http://i572.photobucket.com/al...a.jpg

Hey, Greg... If you're feeling generous, we could use an added moderator in the Altima section...

So I got a crazy idea. I hate using spray paint, but the front grille is a pretty cheap part according to the dealership I spoke to today. So here's a preview...



Better pics are coming, just need to finish the grille

I'm still doing the black grille, but the emblem is like a dark olive green color. I would like to change all the red to that color eventually actually.
