I've always harbored an affection for billet grill on the Z. Good ones look quite sharp, IMO. I once saw one on eBay that a guy hand-builds in CA. Expensive but it looked sharp!

Hmmm...perhaps my gift to the Z when it exits its current hibernative state...

Thanks. Do a search for more pics of my car. There are plenty out there. I ordered it from their E-Bat store. Same internet store just save about $10. I can get you the link when I get home and search for it. You can order it directly from their internet store; www.Grille-Tech.com. My reasoning was more function vs bling. I hate picking leaves and etc out from the bumper. Its held in place with zip-ties, which it a bit cheap, but does its job. Installation was easy with the bumper removed and securing it from behind but doesn't have to come off. I installed the smoked markers and Nismo horns all the same day so bumper was coming off anyhow. Hope this helps you out.

Thanks again everyone

Besides the rims, what other exterior mods did you do?

Not so much exterior mods, but more on the path of the cars looks overall from the outside. I'm going for the clean, simple look. Smoked taillights, smoked side markers, and tint all the way around, including windshield tint. When looking at the car, the exhaust accents the rear, rims from the side, and that's when the grill question came up. What accents the front of the car?
