Default New grille??

Hey Guys,

I've had my 350Z for almost 5 years now.
Never considered modifying it until now.

I've never liked my grille.
(Picture of the Z infront of the house)

Where can i find this one?

Your second picture is of a 2006 model. That grill is the OEM bumper for 06-08. So basically you'll need to get the entire bumper.

That new bumper is a direct fit for older model cars. Just need to change the fender liners as well.

I thought he was talking about how the 1st picture had a billet grille, and I was under the impression that those were just bolt on, bolt off? If you just want to take off the stupid metal part then look around behind it for some j-hooks holding it to the stock plastic ribs.

Collin's right. They just bolt on.

However, your bumper will look slightly different. Like the one below.

I had my body shop cut out the OEM and then bondo/fiberglass in some powdercoated steel mesh in its place. I would think most competent shops would be able to do the same.
