: Thoughts on switching the grille on a 04-07 for the 08-10?

I'm thinking about changing my front grille to the finesse grille from the 08-10 QX's, but I've been on the fence. I don't want it to seem like I'm trying to make my 07 look like an 08+, and I do like the straight slat grille that I already have, but I wonder if the 08 grille might make my QX look a bit better and stand out from the crowd. (Every since I got mine I'm seeing QX's all over the place!) The grille is $296.00 on the Sewell website so its not too bad. I'd like to know what some my fellow QX owners think about the switch.:confused:

Thanks,
Bryce

I was looking for pictures for the finesse grille and wasn't able to find any. Think you could post up a picture or two?

It would update the vehicle, who would know if you are 07 or o8 unless you tell them! The only time someone might think that is when you try to sell it. If you have the $$$ and like it enough do it it's for you not anyone else.

I would do it, but I'm too cheap!

Here's a pic from the Sewell website. The link to the page is http://infiniti.sewellparts.com/accessories-catalog/exterior/QX-2007/1274.html .

I'm looking to do the same, I like the look better of the 08-10 than the 04-07, right now I've got a billet grille (PO installed it).....anyone want to trade? :rolleyes:

I came across this pic on cardomain and I actually love this bottom grille. Its custom, but still OEM looking. The guy said he got it from Burtman Industries. I checked their website and of course its not on there anymore. I may have to make a phone call. If I could get that bottom grille then I'd gladly keep the top one!

I like the 08+ except for those chrome pieces between the bars. I really do like that bottom grill so let us know what you find out.

You could probably get an 04-07 QX56 grille and just custom make it yourself. i have one if you want to try it out.
