EmptyV Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 So has anyone added an aftermarket brushguard? I'm thinking of buying this Steel Craft one for my 01 black w/silver trim QX4: What do you think? Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY1PATH Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 that might look good on black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoPathyGo Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 FYI, I found out by accident that Nissan made a factory brush guard in black and chrome. I just ordered one for my 03 LE for $403 delivered at my local dealer. I don't know if it's the style you want but seems to be in the ballpark or materially cheaper than the aftermarket brush guards. Westin was gonna cost $450 with a 3-5 week backorder at the local truck shop. The Nissan brush guard is supposed to arrive tomorrow. If you're interested, I'm sure Rob over in the Services forum could hook you up. I just bought some bulbs from him. HTH, J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) I wouldn't ask if I was looking for fluff. Billy Well in all honesty, a few people ask an opinion and then when they don't like it they go off the hook. I don't think it looks all that bad. Well, it looks flat out gay. Pretty rinky dinky. But something about a brush guard on an Infiniti kinda rubs me the wrong way Edited April 29, 2009 by Kingman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J/K Everyone's got their opinion and that's what I'm here to find out. Personally I like the look but I'm mainly looking at buying one to add a little weight to my en route OME HD springs and have no reason to purchase a $1K bumper.

Billy Hmmmm, that's what my last ex said, and the one before that...and I think the one before that! Looking at it though, I think in agreement with MY1PATH, it will look better on a black SUV.

I didn't think about going to the dealer, I'm sure the Pathy part is identical to the QX4 part. Do you have the part #? I've found them for as low as $389 shipped and they say that there's not drilling needed. If you've got pics of it installed please share.

laxman0324 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I would have to see it on the truck, yours is a pre-facelifted QX4, so that brush guard will look different. I loved the look of the one I had on my 97 Path, but I just can't seem to find any that look the way I want for my 01. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually dealers are the last place I go for accessories. But I was waiting for them to diagnose a problem and these parts guys had a bunch of stuff and were very helpful. I actually got a complete list of 03 factory accessories (without pricing) to go through. You may be able to do the same. If nothing else, Rob over at FactoryNissanParts.com should be able to help you. It is supposed to arrive either tomorrow or Thursday. Will post pics in my build thread when it arrives and when I install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
