What do you think
I'm trying to think of something else to do with my grill. Right now It looks like this:
I was thinking about taking all that out and welding two diagonal strips of metal down beside the head lights. I would of course, gind down the welds, smooth it out with some light weight puddy, and support these stips. Then I want to put a billet grill in between.
I would just buy a billet grill like the one below or anything larger and cut it down.
It would kind of look like this grill BUT it wouldn't have a thick chrome outline just the billet lines arcoss.
What do you think?

Thanks guys.
It has a Cefiro (European version of the I30) grill and headlights.
Nice. Do you think you could you run two strips of metal down beside the grill?

Couple weeks ago in school I saw a 00+ ssei that had a grille like the one you showed. Car was all hooked up but it wasn't parked so I couldnt take pics.. nicest bonnie I've ever seen.
Anyway back to this, not a prefect shopjob but helps you get the idea.
the 92-95 badge works, the 96+ other ones look strange on it
no badge
teal badge
gold badge
and a sig pic if u want

Thanks XKalibuR for all the photoshoppin.
I was thinking about a dart but I think it would seem out of place on my car. I'm not going to have any other badge on it.
I took the first pic in your last post and hacked it up in paint a little. I want to have the hood flow down beside the grill. I see alot of maximas with aftermarket grills that take these side peices out and it just dosen't look right in my opinion.
Heres the pic I played with:
It'* pretty plain but when it'* done I think it will look simple and clean.
