painting the infiniti style grille

max200 · Apr 27th, 2004, 12:12 PM

I was wondering if anyone has tried painting the chrome infiniti grille that Liuspeed sells for the b14? If so, how does it look? (Post pics please). I'm particularly interested in what it looks like in black.

ive been rather curious what they would look like matched to the body color for a long time, but it seems noone has done it. yet. IMO it would look better on some cars than the bling center piece.

Ehhhhh.. i have my whole lucino front end. and i couldnt see it being painted to match the body color... the chrome is like.. the only way that grill would look good.. if my computer at home was working, i would photoshop it to see.. but im pretty sure it would look ugly!

yeah frankly i don't find a 200sx as a "bling" car but the sentra, maybe. i see the 200sx as a sporty car. i've seen something similar with the grille, and it may have been from an infiniti car. it had thick slats that went up diagonally instead of thin lines and it was similarly painted black. i guess that's where i got the idea from.

that looks pretty good. with a black car, what would be good to two tone it with? chrome and black like a bmw?

Yeah Matt is I think the only one that actually did this with the Infiniti grilll....I dont think it was very hard to do at all either.

too bad he sold his car. Matt jus put in a BB and still had the TMIC on it. Then he sold it off just after HIN

Here's a pic of mine painted gunmetal. http://groups.msn.com/srac/shoebox.m...to&PhotoID=104
That was after the accident. I'm gonna have the body shop paint it body color when my new headlights come in.

He did a little more than just paint...but yeah, if you're gonna customize, do it like that.

I don't have the guts to mess with mine after how bad I hacked up my stock grille trying to customize it on my own. I like it just how it is anyway..
