Might be a noob question, but where can I get this grill, and who makes it?



..........And what do you think would look better, that grill, or the GTR one I used to have? I now have dmax clear corners since the accident. Pic for reference.



That is all.

Looks a little like the Bomex Grill...

or Chargespeed, maybe?

I like the look. Go for it!

Edit: On second thought, these grills don't look anything alike... I dunno, man

Are you sure? I dunno, unless Bomex has different versions available. The pic I showed on the Bomex has it's top portion offset & recessed... The Chargespeed looks closer to it, but it's too broad...

I had them smoked when I got my car painted.

He used the color of my car mixed with clear coat to give it an even "smoked" tint.

Dammit, they aren't cheap. Anyone know if they make a replica?

And are you sure the pics of the first car I posted is the bomex grill? I see no mesh.

Man, those grills don't look alike, IMO. They're close though. In addition to the Bomex grill's top part being offset & recessed, it also has those little teeth looking thingies on the bottom part of the grill. The Bomex grill kinda resembles an s14 kouki grill, IMO.

In either event, any of these grills looks better than the already cool looking GTR grill, so it's a win win!

the gtr grill is aight but it looks uneven. i like the chargespeed kinda. dunno if its the shadowing or what but looks like you can see the latch support piece more with the bomex and i dont like that, might as well runn grill-less. its terrible. im not happy with my silvia grill and find faults with the others lol.

IMHO those open grills are a major waste of money. The GTR grill is pure vanity.

If you're set on a grill, though, get the new one. I like the open look.

i think you should make a grill insert like spooled did on his kouki s14, or buy the bomex one, make a fiberglass mold & make a copy of it & return it. then you could sell em to half of nico & make a fortune

Found out what it is.

The one as seen in the original pic I posted (two tone coupe) is made by CHARGESPEED. Very difficult to find as I'm seeing.

Anyways, just bumping for the people who wanted to know.
