New Front End Look

I got 3 prototypes, not sure which one I should go with, but I'm leaning towards the last one...Let me know what you guys think.

Cool...well, thats how it is right now minus the mesh on the bumper of course. I'm still contemplating on whether or not I should cut out the horizontal slots on the grill. I prolly shouldn't since I get alot of compliments on it like, " Damn, how'd you get a Benz grill on there? how much that cost?" lol, but we shall see.

Anyways, thanks for the input bro. Anybody else?

I'm with you. #3. I like the Infinit emblem on the grille. Very G35.

I'd do 3, but still I like the cefiro grille. But if you do 3, I'd paint the grille the color of the car, along with the infinity logo. That would look nice.

That would look sick too. Body matched logo on mesh would be sleek....

Well, I couldn't get the mesh how I wanted it exactly since I don't have Photoshop, but instead of chrome mesh (which I might do) I was actually thinkin of doin a black gloss mesh and then applyin 2 or 3 coats of clear coat paint with silver glitter with a brush in it to have some silver/chrome look on the black mesh and accent the outer chrom trim and chrome emblem *shruggs shoulders*

I'll see how it comes out, otherwise I'll stick with chrome mesh, black grill and black emblem.

Where can you buy grills other than paradox? The third one is nice, the $100 hood ornament, not my style, its just something for a kid to pull or break off and really mess up your hood. The logo on the grill is nice, what are you going to use mesh? Combining the cefiro one (top grill) w/ the infiniti logo might look good too and be alot easier than cutting one up. Good ideas

I vote #3, but try to find an Infiniti emblem a tad smaller than what you've got in the picture.

You know, I thought of keep the horizontal slots and tossing the emblem on top like the I35 or G35, M45, etc. but I'd need to buy a G35 grill emblem and most likely modify that to fit my slots.

Yeah...I didn't want it to be that big lol..I said the same thing my self, but didn't feel like lookin for another emblem on Google....just to get the idea, but yeah lol def. too large. I do have the G35 Coupe Trunk Lid emblem, which I think would be perfect in there.

on the emblem and ditch the chrome mesh idea and go with the black or body color mesh. But definitely #3. My $0.02.

personally i think you should do 3.but dont put mesh on the bottom part...and dont take off the side markers unless you take off those foglights too and replace them with circular ones in the center airdam.
