Rogue and FX/EX Looks similiar in some ways....

[insomnia816]

I like the way Nissan Rogue's rear exterior body line looks like the FX/EX's . If I could add the chrome window trim onto the side windows (without chroming the pillar bars) it would looks even more alike.




The trunk lid also shares the same style but not as quite if only I could extend the two chrome bars widely enough to bring out the concaved area that hold the license plate.


For the interior too, you can find some simliarity between the two. Examples would be the chrome door handles, rear 1/3 2/3 folding seat and the window switches




Things I would like to add to Rogue if possible, FX/EX style spoiler and pillars strut where the air flow/blow through
Things I don't like about the FX/EX is the hood being too flat out look from the side and the front grille being too round look from the front

Many Nissan and Infiniti's share similar components, ie. the power window switches for example. It's not surprising that there are similarities.

I prefer the Rogue and the Murano as being a even better version of the Rogue. I never cared for the Infiniti fx/ex because it looks.....how to best describe it.....it has that bubble bat-man station wagon look to me. Kinda roundy in certain areas.

I have no problem with you adding chrome on the window trim like you said. I see trim all the time at auto zone and pep boys, its way more affordable there than online in my opinion.

Grill is replaceable like on most of the cars but the spoiler like on murano is a 1 piece with trunk door.

There's another mesh grill for murano from E&G:

And here's a similar but not the best choice for rogue from E&G:
