Default Stillen Grille

I'm trying to order my Stillen grille but I don't understand there messy web site. There are two product links, one with a photo and one without.

http://www.stillen.com/Sportscars_de...d=26409&page=1

http://www.stillen.com/Sportscars_de...d=47228&page=1
What is this grille look like?

What is the difference? Also on the first link it says it is available in matte finish or black chrome. Are these the only two? I'm trying to find what will look best on a DB. Can someone provide photos and clarify.

Yeah that is strange. Isn't that the exact grille performance nissan has for much cheaper? Or is the performance nissan one a knock off.

Nope it's the same one. I'm just confused about what the grille on the second link looks like and i'd like to be able to see photos of my color choices.

Thats easy, the first one is to buy a grill in chrome and second link is to buy one in black chrome. It even tells you the part number for a satin finish grill. You can search part numbers on their site.

Bill D,
Did you put the grill over the stock grill, or did you remove the stock grill before mounting the stillen street scene grill? Like your SB. Guru you could call them toll free for info. Bill D has a good pic of the chrome one. ZRA

Put it on over the stock grill.
It actually clips on the existing grill.
You can not see the stock grill however.

They aren't that great according to what I have read in previous threads. People said the material is allot thinner than the Stillen grille and they only include zip ties.

Stillen Grill is good thickness but flexible.
I am impressed with the quality.

I have the satin Stillen grille on my DB & it looks great. It matches the brushed aluminum pieces on the car. I'll post a pic when I get to work this morning.

Jovasi has a good point matching brused aluminum on the sides of the Z.
Something else to consider, that your headlight assembly and the emblem that sits on the nose is all chrome. Consider matching that with a chrome grill. Looks real nice (and shiny).

Just depends on what works best for you.

Thanks for the photos jovasi, it looks good on the DB! So if I am understanding right there are two finishes? The matte that you have and the chrome that is shown on the black Z?

There is also black chrome, like the emblems on the infinity.
