Here's the larger (somewhat on-topic) point: if you've figured out how to successfully detach the grille, and it's sitting right there in your lap, then you can certainly remove that awful plastidip all on your own. You don't need to hire a licensed Plastidip Removal Specialist.

And that's another $20 saved. You're already at a $40 savings. Not too shabby.
I see well, I'll have to see how easy those 3-4 coats will come off

I like this one:

I like the midnight grille for now, but it's still not very sport looking to me, and I want to try something different but keep the OEM look. Planning to get one (April time frame), then swap the mesh for the thicker ABS stuff (to match lower grille) and maybe larger front emblem, hoping the result will look like a factory sport option

Are you a DIY kind of person????
Do you like the Audi's RS style grille?
Mine is the 2007-2009 sedan grille, but the newer 2010+ grill would look even better with this setup, IMO

I made one myslef, using Honeycomb Plastic mesh that looks OEM, and not that metal chicken wire stuff that all the aftermarket grills come with.

If you are a DIY person, cutt off all the blades and then fit the plastic the the grill, many ways to make it stay, from epoxy-fillers-or simply Hot glue(hot glue is basically melted plastic). It is actually much easier to make then it looks.

good luck on what ever you decide to go with

here is a link to where I posted my work in detail




The Grill- Yes i promised a DIY but never got time to sit down and type one up. Here is a link to the plastic mesh I bought off Ebay(be careful, and make sure you get this one because there are two options for the size of the honeycomb hole sizes, the One I have used for my upper grill- dimensions of each individual honeycomb 1.125in x 0.438in.) the other option out there is the 0.625in x 0.438in- I used this one for the lower bumper openings.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Grill-Mesh-ABS-Plastic-Honeycomb-Euro-JDM-Sport-Universal-Sheet-46-5-x11-5-/321272999420?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4acd5cedfc&vxp=mtr#ht_2521wt_919


You will have to cut the the front chrome part of the grill horizantal blades off. I did this right at the point where the chrome face parts ends as shown in the pics. I used rotary tool with cutoff disks.




Then I ended up cutting off the side parts completely to be able to bend and tuck the plastic mesh behind the frame of the grill. So at the end you should only have the back part of the center horizantal blades left.






Sand the frame all around for it to be nice and clean looking and ready for the mesh itself. Tape it up agains the grill and cut out the shape of the mesh and with about 1/4" extra( to be tucked and glued or plastic welded to the back of the grill.

The Infiniti grill badge is completely optional. I myself will not be cutting the hole around it on my next attempt at this grill. you could also just simply get another Rear bage and mount it to the front grill for the cleanest look

Good luck guys.[/QUOTE]
