Painting it tames it down a bit towards euro luxury loosing Nissan's infamous egg slicers. I'd paint the top part of the emblem. To go even further down the luxury road get the whole emblem set gold chrome plated.

Still it's cheap and much more agressive then stock. I did try asking Stillen to redesign this... too late though and it was "thank you for the feedback." I really hated rewarding them by buying one..lol. Lord knows I suffered a whole year waiting for something better.

I suspect the new grille will have a large flat lower lip in an effort to make the mesh more vertical judging by the G35 picture I saw which I won't like any better unless they do something like the stillen lower lip and make it thicker.

did you mod your actual headlights or did you buy a seperate set so no down time? If you bought an extra set are you selling your stock ones? I need to buy a set so no down time...

Get a chrome coated amber urn signal bulb. It looks much cleaner IMO and then the only amber will be in the side marker.

Hmm does the grille match perfectly? Looks a tad off and with the smoked headlights takes away for the painted housings.

looks good...but the smoked headlights really kills the point of the white painted housing...i feel it would have looked cleaner with the headlights none smoked.
