??? Got any pictures? Where do you park? Could someone have backed into you? Did you hit a large bird while driving and not notice it wrecked your grill?

Check the marketplace either here or one of the other G forums like G35NYC or G35Frenzy. There are usually Coupe grills available. And I'm not sure what the dealer means by unpainted since they're all painted the same and probably come that way from Infiniti. Besides, that prices is way high. You can get it online from a dealer like Riverside Infiniti for about half that.

Ebay usually has a lot of OEM G35 grilles...might have luck getting one shipped quick...

Sorry to hear this. Sounds like a good mystery!! I was driving home Monday, and a huge chunk of tire came flying out from under the car in front of me. Smacked me right in the front bumper and dented the **** out of my license plate, bumper's good though. I guess front plates are good for something

You need a grille quick, check with the Nissan/Infiniti wrecking yard in your area.

i tried looking at the wreck yard but none of them have it but i was parked facing the grass towards my appartment i dont know what it could have possibly been!, the bumper looks fine just a 12 inch hole in my grill but some guy is trying to sell me his oem grill for 150 but its scratched im going to paint it black again but i think thats still a bit pricey for a scratched oem grill. what do you think ?

Just did a quick search and found this site: http://www.usedpartslive.com/catalog...638+11921+5590. $167 for a replacement grill with free shipping. You could probably find em on eBay too.

Sounds like you have at least one enemy. My guess is the punk that broke into your car is also the person that cut/gouged the large hole out of your front grill. That's the only theory that makes sense to me with what little information I have.

Wow man I'm sorry to hear that. All I can say is that at least insurance can step in now and help out. Maybe you will come out ahead after all is said and done!! Good Luck, Bro.
