If you read the thread, you'd know that I don't have them all. I have one coming, not the mesh one, and it's pretty much already spoken for. Everyone seems to want the mesh one, but it's not like there's an unlimited supply, there might be one available, there might be two, or there might be zero. In any case, as I get them in my hands, I will post pics of whichever ones I get on here and whoever wants the ones I actually have can buy them.

Dominick, I will look for some Leopard grilles for you.

again thanks for everyone that downloaded my pic nearly 80 times already. that is great. i love to take pics with my simi-pro camera. i really think that Mesh grill will go like crazy man. what ever you gotta do to get them will be totally worth it. especially since its similar to that damn infamous grill on the bently and chrysler 300 that ****ing everyone is driving. its nice but my Q is distinctive. lets get that damn grill on the street and show up these other cars even more.

You need to learn how to link to pics instead of attaching them, makes loading take longer. Rex has a tutorial in his sig IIRC.

Here's a pic of it on my buddy's car.

that's cool i wont load any more of my car pics. just seems like people like to download my car for some reason.

that grille looks hot though. i want to see how it looks on a black car. i know it will stand out more. i wonder how much them Euroline wheels cost that one guy. i hear they are crazy expensive, just for the wheels alone.!!

Actually, every time anyone clicks this thread it looks like it's downloaded. Including every time you or I click the thread it looks like it got downloaded more times. Trust me, there's not 80 active people on here (Q45 forum) to even download anything that much. And since it's actually attached and downloads every time you click the thread it makes it take too long to load. It took like 45 seconds just now for me to load this page, and I'm at work which is supposedly a fast connection. Anyhow, lean to link your pics (see REX's tutorial - it's super easy) and if someone wants to download it, they can right-click and save-as.

Eurolines are around $750 each new. The wheels on the white car are Amistad and they cost something similar, 750-900 a piece.

Got the Nissan Cima grille yesterday, looks VERY nice, much nicer than the pic shows, it's this one (the one on top):



Cost will be $350 shipped for anyone interested (shipping cost me $100 from Jpn), and like I said before, I'll sell your Q45 grille for you on Yahoo! Japan if you want to get most, if not all, the money back out of it.

I have pic of it on my floor, but I see the NICO gallery is down right now, so I'll upload it when the gallery is back online.

I might consider it if I can't sell it!

Here's what the grille I got looks like on one of my favorite Cima's, in fact this has been my desktop for months now. And notice, IMO the crystal headlights look beautiful, it doesn't need the raccoon ones. This Cima actually has fender gills which is not something I like, and I don't really like it's wheels either, but in this angle, you can't see the gills and any real details of the wheels. This front lip is easily my favorite Cima front lip, wish I had that instead of Stillen... But I digress, focus on the grille, the grille, the grille.........

i guess the mesh one that EVERY body wants isnt really that readily available. so whats the damage plus s/h for the Nissan Cima grille. i live in CA so if you're here too should cut down. depending on how far you are from San Diego/Chula Vista i'd drive up to 2 hours to get it. so let me know something.

I'd take 25$ off if you just want to meet up. I'd be willing to meet you at Super Autobacs if you wanted to.

So on Saturday, I installed the new Cima grille on my Q, and cleaned it all up. It's not in perfect condition, some of the chrome is a little pitted, and after 1/2 hour with Turtle Wax Chrome Polish and Meguiars Metal Restorer, I gave up. It looks perfect from a few inches away, and you have to look hard to see the flaws. In any case, I LOVE it and am going to keep it. I think I'll end up taking the Q45t off the trunk and just have the Nissan on the grille, and the Infiniti oval on the back.

Sooooo, that means my black Cima Grand Touring grille is for sale instead. I'll post some pics of the new one on my Q shortly, and here's what the black one looks like.

They all cost about the same thing, it just depends on what's actually available. I've decided to sell the chrome Nissan grille and keep my black grille, so anyone interested please let me know.

What now you're selling it why so? After seeing the chrome one on yours I was thinking I might buy an extra grille and change up every now and then, lol. I'm eager to see how the mesh one will look on my car

hehe, I really do like it, but I think the car is more aggressive looking with the black GT grille.

I think the gt grille blends better with the car.The chrome grille makes more of a bold fierce look. Something a lil less dramatic than this, sorry vicQ45 but I couldn't resist...
