i have a 98 cinamon bronze 200sx.. its almost that orange sun color but darker.. id ont know if anyone has seen it.. but im gettin chrome projectors and was wondering if there are any grills other than the oem chrome and the stillen gtr .... i kinda want the chrome one to go witht the projectors but i dotn know if itll look good on my color..anyone seen it on this color or red or a dark color? any opinions? any other grill options? should i try to strip the projectors so their black? i have gun metal rims too. so the rest of my car is kinda black and that reddish color..

Well here are a few pics of the projectors on my car I had that nasty chrome grille for a while simply be cause my stock grille fell off somewhere (I STILL HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE STOCK GRILLE FELL OFF!!!) anyway the chrome one looked like crap on my red car so I opted for the 98 grille.

I have since taken off the projectors off the car because the were getting on my nerves, they were getting very dirty and I could not get them clean, also they don't light up the road worth a flying flip (you thoiught I was going to say a different four letter "F" word didn't ya :D

That looks like the SE-R that beat me down in Bradenton. :rolleyes: :cool:

Are they that bad? They don't light up the roads that well? I was interested in getting some, but now I don't know.

Yo Smooth Daddy whats up! Yep that be the SE-R in question, It is going to Gainesville tomorrow to have some more fun and get some real time slips.

And to answer sr20de's question no they really don't light up the road that well I feel that stock is actually brighter, of course this is the 2nd 200SX I have had them on so my be that lost some shimmer, I got them like almost three years ago from Nis-Knacks so maybe they were just needing some new bulbs not real sure cause one of the main reasons I took them out is because I was tired of the look. I still have not decided if I will sell them or not though.

The "Nis-Knacks" style? What was wrong with it? Quality? Or you just didn't like the look? Inquiring minds want to know (my wife wants one for her 200).

They quality of the Nis-Knacks is great, it just looked really silly on my red SE-R with the stock SE-R wheels. It looked pretty good on my old 200 (1.6 Auto, what was I thinking when I bought that)

Anyway here is some pics of my old car I called her "The Green Lantern" sniff sniff

TigerMiata if you what the grille it is yours for the cost of shipping
I am out of the cosmetic game, except for lowering it a little and putting my white rims back on. Just gotta save for new tires but every time I get that much together I buy performance parts, oh well.

EDIT: Fixed some grammar problems

I sent you a 'private message' (and before I looked at the pics -- they look fine).

Dan, when I got the grille home last night it cleaned up like new, and when my wife came home she was thrilled with it; alas, she got home too late for me to install it. I felt around, and suspect I can reach the fasteners from below, and not remove the headlights or the radiator.

Very classy, although I could see it not fitting in with a "sports" or "race" theme. Of course, it resembles an Infiniti unit, but (remember, I'm an old-car buff) it also evoke the look of a Rover, especially the beautiful P5 and P5B (V8). Also, IIRC, there was until recently a Rover about the same size & shap as the 200SX, and even called the Rover 200 (any UK folk can confrim this?), which had a similar-looking grille. [ edit: here's a link to a pic, maybe it doesn't look _quite_ as much as an SE-R as I first thought: http://fp.lantech.f9.co.uk/carforsale/R344UOJ.htm ]

Off-topic: Dan, those headlights, has anyone tried color-matching the housings except for the "round holes" to the rest of the car, for a Celica/Integra look? Might be different...

Glad you like the grille sorry I did not get it real clean before I sent it out I tired to do a quick cleaning but I have been in such a hurry lately. And to my knowledge ***** has tried to color match the projectors. Any PhotoShop people wanna manipulate the above pics and see how it looks.

It went in in perhaps 5 minutes, once I discovered that the OEM retaining clips squeezed one way, and the clips on the chrome grille squeezed 90 degrees from that. My wife is very pleased.
