Same as the stillen grille.



It is a shame if you have to cut out the old grille to install. I installed a grille and bumper combo like this on my buddy's 07 camry - the old grille had to be removed but it can be replaced if need be.

Not sure you can do that if you have to cut the grille out of the Altima. This could come into play if your coupe looks so hot with the grille that the grille gets stolen.

I believe someone else posted the same setup - but on a blue or black Altima - perhaps from yet another vendor. It looks like there is one manufacturer who allow several vendors to sell the same grille.

Hmmm... I still like the stock coupe grille better than this mesh one, and better than the sedan grille. Not sure why everyone dislikes the stock coupe grille so much.

Also, for 2brian0, it looks like the chrome "mustache" still shows with the aftermarket grilles.

I think the upper grille looks good. It finishes off the stock upper grille (chrome mustache) well. The lower grille looks a little odd because the black plastic "opening" is so much wider than the grille.

I think one reason folks are interested in changing grilles is because from head on - the Coupe doesn't look much different from the sedan, so the grille helps you stand out more in a sea of Altimas.

That's why I chose to paint my "mustache".....hate the stock chrome and the only other choices right now are grills like this which look like cheap pieces of jewelry you buy at the swap mart....

I'm with 2brain0, I'm gonna paint those "chrome mustache". I like the front grille myself and with the Code Red, i think, will really make it stand out IMO.

Not feeling it. I'm not a fan of Chrome, especially those 20's.
