I dont think any mesh or billet style grille works on our coupe

i would stick the honey comb or the straight bar (stillen) style.

the idea of it is what i've been wanting to do. i was thinking of removing or cuttin out the honeycomb grill and then just getting black mesh put in place. nothin that sticks out but somethin that sits behind the bumper. uummmm try n find a shop that could do it fer ya. i would also paint the stache to match the color of the car.

IMO being that the altima is sporty i dont want any chrome to touch my red beauty! in houston the chrome is just played out soooooooo bad

I think it would look real good in black with the mustache black overlay. I was actually thinking of this as well but hesitant on how good it can look because of the presence of tie wires or zip ties... Can someone construct a photoshop of how it would look????

Not a fan of the overlays. Get the replacement Mesh or make your own.

The T-rex premium mesh is alot better and you can get it in black from Auto Anything. You could even mount the badge back on over top of it.

That grill is naaaasty. It looks so cheap. I just photoshopped it on my car...yuck. I'm not really a fan of mesh grills though...I kinda like the billet one with the little bars best...but I wish it didn't have a hole in it for the freakin Nissan logo.

how does that attach? it says 'tie wires are provided for install.' Does that mean its just sitting in the grill area with zipties basically?
