Will install "Billet SS Grill" on Monday. Courtesy Nissan (www.courtesyparts.com) has good view of grill on 350Z.

the grille was very easy to install... but then again i removed the front bumper to complete some other mods and put the grille on at the same time. its just attached by clips.

How about a grill that looked like this IN LIGHT!
Think of how nice a completely black grill would look on a black Z. Is there any way to take the stock grill out and just leave it plain?

the stillen grille is curved at the edges so it won't harm the paint or the bumper.

Just finished installing by 350Z Stainless Steel Front Grille "Billet" from Courtesy Nissan (courtesyparts.com). Looks great! Went in very easy with exception of one (1) screw/suport on far left side of grill facing front of vehicle. There is a plastic box behind grill that has no apparent opening on sides, top, bottom or back side.

Will have up on lift at Reliable Nissan, Albuquerque, NM tomorrow performing TSB on "Wheels / Tires". The known by us as "feathering/cupping" issue with no known fix by Nissan. Maybe I can get inside this "box"? Any ideas or have others had similar grill install problem on 350Z "Tour"?

I notice that you guys with the Stillen Grill aren't using front license plates. My state requires them. Are you just taking your chances with the law or are the plates not required where you are? What do you suggest? Taking a chance without one or if I use a plate where is the best place to put it with that grill? TIA

california also requires a front plate. i've already been pulled over and ticketed. but the ticket is only $10. guess i'm just gonna risk it, for now.
