Am I the only guy that thinks the c-mod grille is the only grille that looks like its missing a grille?

definitely not! I think so too!
but I hate that Nissan logo and the mustache so bad that I'm willing to do anything to get rid of them!
I think the c-mod grille would look much nicer if I had the stillen front lip..

I personally like the OEM grill, like mikethemike said, it looks like there's no grill with the cmod.

Thanks guys! :)
I think if the mesh in the c-mod was painted in a more distinguishable color then it will look good.. The OEM mesh is not actually black, its more brownish.. (or @ least that's how I see it)
For some reason the support bar & the radiator don't bother me, and I didn't paint either of them :S
I guess they don't really show that much on a blue coupe..

Quite ugly. The honeycomb pattern doesn't continue behind the burger.

But C-Mod + Nissan burger = hotness.

why are you worried about how the oem grille would look when you already have the c-mod grille?

Because I won't sell the car with the c-mod grille (or a broken OEM grille) when the time comes.. ;)

Thanks aphu! It will probably look sexier if the grill was painted dark brown..

Well, what's your opinion on this grille, because I think this is the route I'm gonna go:

Makes it look more like the GTR, but is that frowned upon to make it look like a GTR?

I wish the 2010+ c-mod grille looked as good as the 08-09 one.

+1, for some reason the CMOD for the 2010+ models looks weird...:(

Nah, they're both Nissan so lets just call it the "younger brother" of the GTR ;)

Its unfortuneate that the GTR look is a whole bumper that has to be bought... If it was only a grille, Id be all over it!

Well, I don't really want to do it, and probably won't yet, but my fog light glas got broken and a new one from the dealership is $209 for 1! I looked online and found OEM ones for as cheap as $139 for the pair, but I thought, "Why?", I can add another $150 to that $209 and get the GTR front bumper, then paint too, so another $3-400, but then it'll look so much better than just some aftermarket fog lights and an air dam lip, and a grille insert....I don't know, just my thoughts....
