did you buy the nismo front used?

if you did, then it's custom.

or maybe it's just from the quality of these cell phone pics.

i just think that mesh looks really outta place since it doesnt match anything else. most people use a black plastic mesh down there. generally speaking, most people don't want the mesh to be that noticeable.

but it's all about what you like, man.

Looks good...although I would have taken off the body side moldings. I would have also left the line on the Nismo front and shaved the tow cover.
