ONEighty: Whats your take on emblemless grilles?

Like it? Hate it?

We've done it for a customer before, and then I did it on my 2010 sedan. I personally loved how it looked on the face lifted sedan due to the aggressive bumper lines, but I have yet to see it done on a coupe. Since my car was black, I didn't know what to do with the emblem, I'm not a fan of the all blacked out grille and emblem, and I simply HATE chrome on these cars, so it had to go. I wish I got to finish up the sedan, I had planned to paint the grille surrounding gun metal (Shadow) to match the rest of the trim around the car, and leave the center all black... but yeah

Here's a grille we just finished up for promotion and display. We're working on getting a coupe grille done up next. Let us know what you think.

If anyone has done it on a coupe, post it up... I'd love to see how it looks.

And if anyone is interested in getting theirs done, or buy one directly, check out this link for details

looks really nice on that sedan. at first i wasnt sure how well it would flow but looking at the pics, i see no flaws. Personally, I like having the infiniti symbol on the front of my car. I want people to know that the nice car they just saw was an infiniti
but for a lot of the people here that have ridiculously modded g's/show car g's this is a great alternative.
keep up the great work, you guys are doing a great job.

I think it all depends on the look that you're going for. If you're going for an all black/white look(such as on your car), I think its perfect! It just looks PISSED OFF on your car how its all blacked out and VERY clean w/ out MT FUGI.

If you didn't have all black headlights, i wouldn't be such a fan. I personally like the look of the "midnight grille" look, with a chrome top/bottom and middle emblem. Its a great mix IFFFF someone has chrome on their car. Just helps the car flow better.

So yeah, that's my .02...lol! The work you guys do is absolutely incredible.

Holy molly donut shop.

I want this grill. It looks real clean, Access Evo replica.

I would like a chrome outline and black center lines.

Is there any sign of mass production so I can order one?
What would be pricing and when available>

I love it! Looks so aggressive! I can't wait to see the coupe version, cause I was thinking about blacking out my entire grill...
