Anyone bought the OEM black grill? how did it hold up to rocks, bugs, etc?

thanks,

Just painted mine myself, very simple DIY and there are tons of threads on how to remove the grille/paint it. Mine has some chips on it so I'm about to repaint it soon once I get some free time, much cheaper than buying one from Infiniti.

 

i got the midnight grill a long time back and its been holding up great... it has metallic flakes within the black which hides any and all imperfections that might occur quite well.

Its been good enough to keep me from even noticing the grill which means its holding up nicely as i was constantly seeing a new mark on my original OEM grill everyday. However if you wanna save a lot of money than plastidip with a touch up every few months would be a much cheaper option

 

So many things I want to do....but so little money.

Exhaust first? Invidia CBE or save money and settle for Tanabe AB?

Black Grill? but then I will need to black the headlights too...

Wheels? Just got new tires on my sport wheels so should definitely put this off

Drop? last car I dropped was a WRX and the ride was seriously rough--even with a moderate drop on Prodrive springs....

Decisions decisions....

 

ive been running the oem midnight grill for several years now and its held up pretty good. Im actually going to change it up though and try a new grill.

 

^ are you looking into Autokits-X grill or waiting for the new Starfe grill? I think Autokits-X grill would look a bit better than the ionic grill since it has more material on the sides but havent been able to find an pics of it installed.

 

Autokitsx

 

^ lol, im in the same boat but awaiting some installed pics

Are you going with CF or FG, i think ill go with painted FG since i have nothing CF on my car.

 

Color matched fiberglass

 

Yup that should look sick on you LP... post pics once you have it installed! thanks!
