My bumper grill is cracked. I'm thinking of getting my bumper repainted and would like to take care of this in one shot, however it seems like Infiniti doesn't sell bumper grill as a seperate part.

Would a billet grill look like crap on everything stock ?( http://www.ebay.ca/itm/03-06-INFINIT...item41618c67a6 )

 

In my opinion, I dont like billet grills at all. But it's your car so you should do what you like the best. If it was me, Id either fix it (body fill the crack) and then paint it black, or get a Gialla (or if your set on ebay, a gialla replica) grill. IMO they look the best.

Good luck!

 

It's almost impossible to fix it. There is a hole in it. And i'm not sure how it happened ! Hard to believe that a stone would hit it that hard to make a hole.

 

You talking about the grill just under the hood, or the two smaller ones on left and right side of bumper, lower portion? If it's the upper, under the hood, you can find an emblemless grill on ebay or an oem grill here in the marketplace for under $100....not a big deal really.


If you're talking about the two lower grills in the bumper...they are built into the bumper itself. Your only choices would be to replace the entire bumper or cut them out and use some aftermarket grill material (aka gutter guard or chicken wire) in it's place.

 

Yeah i'm talking about two smaller ones on left and right side of bumper. Damn really, I thought they are removable..How do they mount those billet ones from ebay

 

Infiniti does sell the stock grille, I bought one from them a couple months ago.

And please, PLEASE, do not buy a billet grille. Makes your car look like total crap. If you dont want the stock buy yourself a Gialla or OEM emblemless one here on the marketplace.

 

I believe they mount over the oem. IMO, leave the billet look in the 1990's where it belongs. If you don't want to shell out the dough on a new bumper, I'd cut the grills out, use a dremel or sawzall or something like that, then use some black plastic gutter guard in it's place back there. Or you could just leave it open. Just make sure your cuts are straight and even or it's going to look like a hack job.

 

you are talking about the grille above the bumper right ? I need the lower one on the bumper itself

 

Same thing happened to my G.. :/ Looks bleak for us.. haha I'll just settle with the hole..

 

In your situation I'd take my Dremel tool and remove the grills since they're part of the bumper and can't be replaced, that way you'll have a matching set....Gary

 

My front grill is cracked. I see that someone mentioned something about a filler to fix it? What is exactly is that called?

 

People buy aftermarket grills all day long...you should easily be able to find an OEM grill for sale on here for next to nothing. Or if you want to go aftermarket, you can pick one up on eBay for less than $100. I got an all black, emblemless grill on there for about that....fits and looks great.

 

If it wasn't fixed by now, you might be able to find one at a junk yard. You'll have fun replacing it though.
Here's my car with the lower billet grills on a stock front end. They don't match with the OEM grill but they do an excellent job at concealing a FMIC.

 

Easy big fella, he's posting about the lower grilles not the main radiator grille....Gary

 

Lower grill holes are called fox hole covers, see pic
