I installed my Active Tuning S5 Grill yesterday and my Accolade fiberglass eyelids, but I'm not so sure if I like the way it looks. When I test drove the 370Z today, all the young salesmen were saying my car is hot and asking about the grill and eyelids, but I dunno if I'm crazy about it. Think maybe it's just because it's new and I have to let it grow on me? Here is a pic, but it's not the best because it was freezing rain/hailing when I took it . . . Let me know what you guys think - please make me like it lol

The color is an exact match actually. What happened is that the photo was really bad because I took it in such bad weather. So when I uploaded the photo onto PhotoBucket I edited it a bit to make it look more clear, so the color got messed up through the entire picture, and unfortunately, looks worst on the grill.

Thanks!

The grill isn't off. The picture all together is awful. I took better ones today. I just have to find the time to get them posted. Later tonight or tomorrow I should be able to. But uh - thanks? lol

The cars a bit dirty from snow, but here's semi-better photos:I'm awful at taking pics - especially since the car sits low, I'm tall, and I never kneel down lol

Any other thoughts?

You mean the little silver things centered below the grill? They are deer alert things - I travel a lot for work, and some areas of NJ that I travel in are heavily wooded - supposedly prevents deer from entering the road, or alerts them - some crap

I have a Pro Kit on it - dampers and springs.I also have 18x8s that are brand new, but bc of offset they rub in the back. They're for sale. Id have to put on a camber kit in the back to fit them, and I don't really wanna do that. If I decide to keep this car and not get a new car (I just got a new job and huge salary increase, so a new car is more likely) then I will be purchasing SE-R rims to go on it.

And I was thinking about the Stillen lip. Their model car for the 3rd Gen Altima is also a Pewter Altima - HOT!!!!

I'm new to this but I think that's the best looking grill I've seen for the G3's.
