I've seen some that are "inserts"....some that are complete replacement grills. Has anyone done this on their own? Is it hard to do? Which grill did you get. I hate our black plastic crap OEM ones........any advice?

What do you mean by inserts? Like grilles that go over the plastic? Or are you talking about removing and replacing the plastic grille?

THere are a ton of styles out there, these are T-Rex billet grilles:

I just want to have it powder coated but here is what it looks like on:

I got my grille from B-Cool Billets and installed it myself with no problems... Mine required removal of the factory plastic grille, but in my opinion it looks a billion times better than the ones that cover the OEM grille and is EXCELLENT quality.

It was very easy to install, but I took my time and filed everything down flush so it was a little time consuming. The only problem was that the instructions that came with the grille were written poorly, but I called B-Cool Billets up and they were very helpful over the phone and gave me the proper installation procedure.

See pics of my grille below.
screen.width*0.7) {this.resized=true; this.width=screen.width*0.7; this.alt='Click here to open new window';}" onmouseover="if(this.resized) this.style.cursor='hand';" onclick="if(this.resized) {window.open('http://www.reddingsucks.com/files/350Z_1.jpg');}" />

love the grill

I don't really have anything against the plain grill but isn't there a mod where people used that plastic chrome trim along the top of each grill slat to add a shiny touch? Seen it someplace, just can't remember where.

Though it is a little flashy, I like this grill and thinking about getting it.

I got a billet grille recently and it just bolted over. Wasnt hard at all. I dont like that plastic either. It reall adds a lot. The one I got was only $89 dollars shipped to my door. I got it at www.elitespoilers.com
