yes it came in gloss black.

So I got the grill back from paint earlier and I just finished installing it, but unfortunetly its dark now so the pics arnt very good. O yea and I got rid of that pesky brace in the middle and fabricated my own. I will do a right up tomarro.



I tried to put the rear badge under the grill to see how it looked, and i have thought about mounting my 3.5 and v6 badge in the right corner

totally astonishing, looks great man. You should try to put the hamburger outside the grill somehow Putting the v6 badge in the front makes it look a little too cluttered. But overall, looks much much better after you painted it

yea its possible, but you would probably haft to rig up some kind of bracket so you could mount the badge on. Or you could glue it, but i wouldnt recommend that.

Warning: if you by this grill, be careful not to over tightened the fastening screws. I had one of the fastening screws brake off because I tightened it a little to much. The second I felt that pop my heart stopped beating for a second. But then I realized it was luckily in a spot that didn't really need it, so its still attached firmly but gave me a quick scare.

Ok, I will take some day shots when i get off work today and I will temporarily throw the burger on the outside so you can see what it looks like. I think I am going to keep the burger off, but I will let you guys see it so you can choose if you want to go this route.

P.S. Been driving for the first time to day with the new bumper support and it is holding up stong. It even feals stronger to the touch.

I am also thinking of puting one of these on.I realy like the cursive, But I would paint it white to match the car. I only wish I could find a Nissan in Cursive.

Sorry teacher i didn't mean to offend you with my typing errors. I thought this forum was made so we could discuss cars, but I didn't realize I was re-takeing my 5th grade spelling test. Does this mean you are going to hold me back a grade

i don't like the burger in the back idea because it makes the grill look like an cheap overlay grill instead of a replacement.
