IMO, the best looking one is the one sold by West Valley Nissan in AZ.

No one shows it better than "Marilyn" owned by JimH:

the stillen grill looks nice as hell on black Zs, but I heard somewhere they get dirty quick and are hard to clean or something.

Chrome door strip. LOL
Best way to get a nice grille and save a lot of money. I went to buy something from the stereo shop and the guy thought it was a $200+ grille. He nearly sh*t his pants when I told him it was $6. LOL

I currently have the SS grill and like it best. I've had the "Mr. Grill Billet" off Ebay, the door molding, and the Street Scene. Everyone has their own favorite. Pick the one you like best and don't worry about what others like. I'ts your car.

I used to have the Stillen Street Scene grills, but I had to take them off when I went FI because the Intercooler needed more air. I now have the chrome door strips that were mentioned before, and they looked really good as well.

It comes in a roll of like 10' I think. You can get it at advanceautoparts, autozone, pepboys, etc...
It's a little box with a cut-out in the corner showing the product. You just cut it to the length you need.

How long have you guys had the "door strip" solution on? I used it and it came off after about 2 months. I carefully prep'd the area and made sure it was on there good but it still came off.

It keeps the intercooler somewhat hidden. I can't find a good pic of my intercooler right now... when ur in another car and look in the rearview mirror u won't be able to see the intercooler unless u look really closely. When you look at the front of the car in person you will see it if there's no sun shining at the grills and if you look directly at the grills, not the car in whole, otherwise you would have to come close to the car and directly look at it to see the intercooler.

What color is ur Z? I have a lot of pics from our club meets down here and I have pics of about half of the Z colors with these grills. I could post a pic for you if I have it with ur color.

I've had mine on for at least 6 months with no problems. I'll probably have to replace it at around the 1 yr. mark. I pulled it off the top one to remove the tow hook insert and it doesn't stick as good now.

Check out Performance Nissan web site, I bought the T-Rex billet grille and really like it, easy install. They also have the stillen grille, good prices, great service. I've read too often that the chrome strips come off after a while. I would be looking for a more permanent solution. Its gonna run you about $270.00 with shipping.
