05-06 Sedans, Any After-Market Grille's?
 
Just got a call from the shop, my replica gialla grill from ebay does not fit, too much gap all around, prob for an 03-04 sedan. I'm disappointed in myself for trusting an ebay mod for the 2nd time, and ending up sending it back again...

05-06 Sedans what grill option do we have, seems like NONE...I don't have the oem grill, if theres nothing out there, it's my only choice....don't mention billet....Any ideas/links?

IMHO, the OEM 05-06 grill is the best grill out there period.

I have yet to see any aftermarket grills that remotely looked good. Every one i've seen either looks like a whale feeding when it comes down the road or some sort of soup strainer for catching bugs.

But that's just my opinion that's all...

Ye, I'm disappointed that this was one of several nice mods that was left out for the 05-06 sedans, i have no choice but to get an oem one

There is an eBay replica Gialla grill made for the 05-06, not sure if this is the one you got or not. Grant (Gdup35Sedan) had to dremel his to make it fit correctly, something your body shop should be able to do.

Your other option is to do an OEM Emblemless Grill, you could DIY it or have your body shop make one for you.

Ye, the first pic you posted is what i wrote in my first post, it doesn't fit, I don't want it, I don't want anything slightly off or what not. I'm gonna get an oem one and see what I decide to do, prob not emblemless, i got no time for that kind of work and might be a bit expensive in a shop as its time consuming....2nd pic of your car is hott

why don't you just get an oem grille and then paint it (or diy-spray paint it) black/flat black/glossy black. You can choose to include or exclude the emblem and it's easy and IMHO looks good.

I would be interested to find out how to make an emblemless grille. I have an 03 sedan and I've never come across that for the 03-04 models.

i really like the gialla grill on that white G sedan.

On a lake shore slate G sedan... ehh i dont think it would flow. For some reason, this is a very classy color and it just doesnt work with the super tuner look...

g35papa recently made one for his 03 sedan (for some reason I can't find the thread he made).

Here is the DIY bigc and I made. Process would be very similar for an 03-04 grill. https://g35driver.com/forums/body-in...ess-grill.html

It's going to get painted without a doubt, I'm just deciding the style I want...

not too many options out there, OEM or the one you had. did you see if the gap was somewhat decent looking? or just going by the body shop's word.

BuckeyeG Mar 24, 2009 06:14 AM

Heres my 06. Me and Grant have the same Ebay grille. I had to cut mine down a little to.

Lol, see, we have different tastes :)

I'm not into the "tuner" look at all, so the grill on the white sedan doesn't appeal to me. I do like the clean classy look, so the LS sedan looks hot to me.

Granted, i would leave the Mt Fuji on and leave it stock. It's not a bad looking OEM grill. At least the 05/06 gets a "black chrome" grill. It looks great on OB
