Designing Custom Grill for P11
Hey Guys just wanted to give you guys a heads up for the new grill i'm designing.

Got the wire mesh today from a local car dealer ..made by this company http://www.foliatec.com in germanyhttp://www.foliatec.com

Have already been driving for a week without my grill just to see if I liked it.

Have not decided the best way to do this ..but will sit down tonight and give it some serious design thoughts. I'll take tons of pictures to show you how its done.

I'm also thinking of meshing up the lower radiator intake section, can you guys give me some pros and cons of doing this.

Thanks in advance.
Still waiting for thos halo plugs ..watch me blow a piston

Can't really think of many cons! Only possible one might be, depending on the size of the holes in the grill, your radiator might not get any air. But like I said, may not be a con. But it would look real nice if you did that.

True about the air flow. The holes are pretty large so there should be sufficient air flow. It also afforst the radiator better protection from stones. I hope the grill will withstand the abuse.

What do you guys think of protruding the nose grill a little ..much like the Skyline GTR?

Project Chicken Wires. I've seen on many cars before. Good Job! You should put the infiniti logo emblem in the middle of the grille though, It would look better.
