Dumb question but I am wondering I think the difference in the frontier grille and the xterra grille is that the chrome piece and the underpart piece that is painted is two seperate pieces where as xterra its all one. Tell me your thoughts is it possible? Here's a pic!

Its possible....never seen it done.

I think the chrome bumper will work on the X also too....maybe 2000-2001 fronty versions....

Ya considering it, Alex?

look at how the chorme part goes all around the headlight lense, if the xterra one dosent do that it may not be a simple one piece swap

Well lets see how do I put this... First I would sand the whole thing down remove the middle section containing the nissan emblem and cut out the little fins on the side sections so it would give me 3 open spots and I would obviously get a good mesh grill in black or silver to go behind. I would re-paint the chrome either gray or black depending. And the inside I would either paint to match the body of my truck or painted black. Basically I want to give a bit of a new look to my grille.

remember nissan gave the frontier a face lift in 01 and the xterra in 02, make sure you don't get one from an 01 becuase well they don't even have a grille really.

Umm I dont see any dents on the hood... I see a reflection and alot of glare but other wise it looks clean to me. I must be blind.
