Interested to see how it looks!

Mendi, give us as much detail on the way the mesh is secured, and the quality/coating on the mesh itself.

It would look really nice body colored but I don't plan on painting it because my blue costs too much . btw I might sell this before the end of the week, since right now I don't know if thats the look I want my car to have with the grille unpainted. I'll decide before friday

anyone wants first dibs? (if I do sell its free shipping to canada)

and its matte yeah, like the black plastic on the front bumper.

I was one of the first to jump on this as well, haven't received mine yet but now I'm second guessing. I don't want to have to keep the burger on but that center support post just ruins everything...maybe paint the support black so it blends in better?

I wish Stillen would create an insert like this replicating the grill they have in the fascia. With the downward bars in that one I don't think you'd really even see the post...

i think if the support bean was black or even slate then it might be less noticable. i actually like it both with and without the burger

Ahh... Well maybe our articles guy (dangeris!) will find the writeup someone did on a replacement to that bracket. (i am surprised that none of you remember seeing it!)

Mendi, the mesh, the way its attached to the frame...?

Man, I love this grille. This is what we've been waiting for... but I still think it needs to be tweaked slightly.

Like in the corners, it needs to be more flush with the side bars of the stock grille. It needs to sit flush the way it does in the center, no gap is visible, at least from the pictures.

I wish there was some way that the thin pieces that come with the aftermarktet grille could tuck behind the stock grille bars and they wouldn't be seen. But then the grille would need to be bent oddly and I don't think that's good for it.

I think if you painted the entire frame area (the top part thats blue still near the hood) black and painted the blue support bracket black it would look very nice and make the entire grill area look bigger..like the older altima mesh grills looked. Maybe you could photoshop it all black and then all body color?
