If you like it thats what matters but youre gonna keep hearing from ppl here to paint it black. Colormatched only looks good in black cars (not being biased). Matte black would be a great choice

Thx for the suggestions. Still on the fence but will wrap my chrome window trim in black then see how I feel about the grille.

I want an emblemless, but I don't want to go through the trouble to do it.
I wish Ionic would come out with one for the 03-04

Stillen Sways installed, and got a custom middy made with a 12" resonator sounds good.

Resonated TPs, M2 HR Y-pipe, Custom Middy, Custom welded maganflow muffler is my set up.

Why dont you have your shop do it?. It only cost me 120$ and driving with no grille for 5 days

It's not as hard as I thought it would be.

I followed the instructions in this thread.
https://g35driver.com/forums/v36-diy...nt-sedans.html

The thread was made for the newer generation models but I took my chance and cut it exactly how he illustrated.

It worked out pretty well I'd say. If i were to do it again I would make strips DC&B a tad bit wider since the 12"X5' sheet allows for it.
