Well i finally got around to removing the grill and painting it.
I followed the DIY and it was very easy to remove the grill.
Photos were taken with iphone so take it ez!

 

Looks sick. I wanted to paint mine in next few days. Did you use primer, gloss black, then clear coat?
BTW, how did you get the clips off.

 

It looks good. I wonder how the paint will hold up to the heat.

 

The clips you just press down on the tab on top of the clip and they pop out. Yes I did 3 coats primer. 4 coats black and 4 coats clear.

 

looks good....

 

Looks really good. Great job !

 

It does look good, nice work. For lazy bast**ds like me, looks like Riverside Infiniti is selling a midnight black grill, but it has the chrome on the outer edge. But if you are gonna keep the chrome emblem, the chrome edge will look good I think.

 

**** is way expensive though man.

 

i painted my grille but kept the top and lower bars chrome and emblem left chrome too.

 

Good stuff man, now u gotta paint the headlights since u painted the mt fuji too

 

It's all relative. How long will it take me to pull the grill, prep, buy materials, paint, etc? If I had time on my hands I'd do it. but I think it's worth it for me to spring for the ~$300. Nothing for this car is cheap.

 

yeah doing the headlights next week, gonna remove the amber also.

 

Nice, any upclose shots?

 

I got the black grill from Riverside Infiniti ebay store, got a decent price on it by making an offer and counter-offer. Installed in about 1.5 hours, but really could do it in much less if you are familiar with taking the front cover off in the engine bay. These are iPhone pics so cut me some slack on the photography.

 

Looks awesome!! I think I'm geting the grill on my black sedan done soon.

Still deciding on if I should keep the outer part chrome, since I'm leaving the emblem chrome.
