^ you do? ... lol i was actually wanting to get 1.


mine currently is completly black, done myself =)


Theres not much to do with the oem style grill. Ive mostly just seen settle ideas like mt fuji painted to match and rest chrome, painted completly 1 solid color, mt fuji chrom and the rest painted.

Or you could even do an emblemless oem grill
Ex: (sorry if the owner is on here just use for example)




IMO, billet is trashy.. i wouldnt do it but its up to you if you like it bc there are Gs with it.

well look around for any aftermarket grills .. or just keep it.

if you get a GT-R bumper you wont have to worry about a grill

there is no specific right number you just apply it till it looks right but before you clear you must make sure your paint job is 100% flawlesss or alteast as good as you think it will get ive only applied two coats of flat black on my cover and it looks 100% better, i think your applying to heavy of a coat each time.
