Black Grille! :)

Hey guys!

Since I didn't go to school today I decided to finally paint my grille! The hardest part of the entire process was actually removing the grille. But thanks to some users on here, I was able to find a DIY and remove the thing.

Here's a pic of how it came out. Let me know what you think!

Black grille looks good on the car. Interesting that the car came with the 05/06 stock bumper and 03-04 Nismo sides and rear underbody lip.

I went to AutoZone and bought a Rust-o-leum can of flat black paint. It's specifically for metal and plastic. And it costs like 5 bucks! Do it!

Very backwards, never seen an 05 front end on an 03 car. Nicely done.

Needs to be lowered though!

very cool, guessing the previous owner had some front end damage and the body shop opted to switch the hood, grill, headlights and bumper since the Nismo front is discontinued.

I just cleaned the grille and painted it without sanding it.

My guess as well. OP all you need are the 05-06 taillights and you'd be money!!!
