Why couldn't the grill be all chrome?

Post by **jsellberg** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 6:15 am

ooh i think i'll order those. they'll look AWESOME on my iridium graphite.

will the 3m tape really hold it through car washes and stuff though?

Genuine Nissan Accessories carry a 1 yr/12000mi warranty just like most OEM parts do. Just something to keep in mind.

Yup. That 3M stuff really works. Just be sure you align the thing right the first time.......cuz there ain't no goin back.

Are these made of plastic?

Post by **EddNog** » Sat Jan 26, 2008 1:07 pm

Yes, they're plastic. Here're pics installed on my Indigo Blue SL; they go great with my license plate, which has a bird on it!

Click any pic to zoom in:

Also debadged the rear while I was at it.

Wow, that looks pretty frickin' good. I've been hesitating because of the cost of them. Your pics may have sold me.

Post by **tw34k** » Sat Jan 26, 2008 6:17 pm

Wow Edd...Your Baby is looking good !!

It may be a couple of more months but I'm gonna have to order a set of those. They really finish off the front end.

All you need now is a rear spoiler like mine.....Only in Blue of course.

I'm still indifferent about the debadging...I suppose it does make for a cleaner look in the rear, and will make people ask "What kind of car is that?"

But the whole thing does look great.....I cant wait until the '09s roll out...I'm gonna have to get one for just me. My wife has pretty much taken over this one.

The chrome strip on the bottom may be interesting, especially for darker color Rogues, I guess.

I'm not a fan of the chrome pillar trim if the windows are not framed in chrome, know what I mean? Especially if they're fat swaths of chrome in the middle of a sea of black. That is just my personal opinion though and I'm sure there will be people doing it. I like the the chrome grille garnishes are pretty much self-containted and framed.

The chrome plate frame is a good idea. I already have black framed Weathertech Clearcovers from my previous car that I reused, but had I not had these, I probably would've gone with the chrome framed Clearcovers.

EddNog, they looked so good on your Rouge, that I just ordered them for my Venom Red one. Once they come in I 'll post a picture.

I like it better with the body color grill... I guess I'm in the minority.

I think certain colors like the blue look great with the chrome, and maybe others would look better with body color. WestCo, is there/will there be a gallery where different customer's color combinations with the different grills can be viewed?

Post by **rrs26ja** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 10:42 am

It would be nice to see these on different color Rogue's before spending the money to get one. I agree it looks nice on the blue. I have a Gotham Grey Rogue.

am i the only one who thinks 140 is a lot for a plastic piece that sticks on with tape? i'm not very familiar with modding or anything either though, just seems overpriced to me for what it actually is.

No, you are not alone. Plus minimum shipping to me is $15

Yes, me too. However you have to remember that it a genuine Nissan part and not some third party part. I have not had a chance to ask my local dealer for their price.

Part of me is holding off until the winter is over. If the warantee is only 12 months, I don't want to buy it now and loose the first couple of months because of the weather.

Post by **cdmuile** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 7:49 pm

I understand everyones concern. However, I just received mine and I can assure you all that it is definitely a quality product. "Plastic" yes, but what a plastic! The chrome finish looks miles deep and I would challenge anyone to tell the difference between a metal grill and this one. Plastics have come a long, long way. And remember, it'll never rust. Can't mount mine yet, too cold, but I did duct tape them to my Gotham Grey, just to look, and they look really good.........something Nissan should have done in the first place. Takes away from that strange Subaru Tribeca look.

What's the best price anyone's found? I got a quote for $143 shipped to MN from a dealer in IL. Good thing is no sales tax, vs $150 here in MN + 6.5% tax = $159.75

Maybe some dealer would do a group buy if we had enough orders??? Some guy was selling them on Ebay for $129 + ~$11 shipping but it looks like he's sold out now, b/c I don't see the listing.

I'm soooooooooo close to pulling the trigger on this for my Indigo!

Post by **Superdave54** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 1:53 pm

I have a Gotham Grey Rogue as well, and am going to order the chrome grill finishers today. If you are still waiting, I can send you pictures in a week or so when I have them installed.

Post by **Superdave54** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 2:12 pm

Bancroft has these now. $150.

Here is the link: http://www.bancroftaccessories...d=268

I just ordered mine from the local dealer. Same price and tax is cheaper than shipping. Plus, it will be easy to take back if there is a defect.

Can't wait to see how they look.

Dealer in Mesa, AZ had them in stock bought them yesterday. Looks like Nissan must read this Forum

My 2009 Indigo Blue Rogue has a chrome grill. Why, did they not carry chrome grills at all for the 2008s?

Your dealership probably installed it on your car before you purchased it and included it into the cost. It is not standard.

Yes, I know it's extra & I'm glad I have it! I think it looks so much better. I got a good price for it though because I told the salesman that I didn't want to pay more than $22K.
