The main problem with grills for this car is that they are all made for the Japanese Car. They require you to change the headlights along with the grill. I was looking into just having the infiniti logo removed from mine and having it filled and spray chromed. If that works out it might be an option.

I can get you the Junction grill (have to see if it's still available) and use your stock grill surround to mount the JP billet to. It will fit the USDM bumper and headlights.

I have to see if JP still has the billet inserts. I usually charge $150 to customize the stock grill plus the JP billet insert costs. I will however need your stock grill or another stock doner grill.

I've done 3 grills for the Y34 using the JP billet. I also did a mesh style on my car 3 years ago....

The JP billet grill will cost you $799 plus my labor to make it fit the US spec car, plus shipping.

The grill itself is full billet. The edges are silver billet while the slats are black on the inside surfaces. Just the billet insert weighs about 10 pounds !!!! This is not some cheap billet piece.....

I was referring to the outer edge surround, in the pics it looks like its being wrapped with something.

Usually I paint it body color and wrap it with Xpel.

Nope none of those will fit without changing the headlights. You can see the difference in the custom pics that mrmark put up.

Also, the contour will not follow the US Spec bumpers in the center due to the lack of the US crash guard on the J-Spec cars. Notice your stock bumper has a "beak" on the center of the bumper.

I found another site with a grill or two that may fit the Y34. They say "Y34", you'll have to e-mail the store to get specifics:

I almost bought my LED tails from them, but I found a smoked set on e-bay. Their product page is very nice. Give it a look:

love the cross-cut mesh grill.Looks good.I woudn't paint the outter edges blue, though. it looks great the way it is and it keeps the line of grey metallic accents from headlight-to-headlight intact.
