I recently bought a few items (grille, headlights, upper bumper cover) off a 2010 Frontier from a salvage yard to give my Pathfinder a facelift. I also wanted to incorporate HIDs (retrofit), marker lights and a front camera like the Ford Raptor. I need to spend a day to install these items and finish up some other projects I have going on, but here's a sneak peak...

Will you be installing a Frontier bumper too or will this grill fit with your pathfinder bumper?

will be installing a frontier bumper, which means I'll have 2 bumpers for sale;

1) My original bumper cover from 2005 Pathfinder LE
2) The upper bumper cover that's currently on my Pathfinder and that's from a 2005 Nissan Frontier

Hmmm... you're not in Alabama are you? I'm looking for a front bumper cover for my 05.

Looks nice!

What's the purpose of the front camera?

Offroading, can help to determine exactly where you might be at up on those rocks.

That's exactly the reason why. Check out the video (start watching from 0:45) from the front camera on a Ford Raptor:

Here's one installed on a jeep:

Are those original lights from 2010 frontier or did you do a projector retrofit on them?

Retrofitted with the FX-R stage IV kit from theretrofitsource.com. Part of the reason why I decided to perform a facelift on my Pathfinder was because of these lights. The reflector bowl in the 2009+ Frontier is deeper than that found on the the 2005-2007 Pathfinder. I tried to do a retro on a pair of 05 lights and the HIDs stuck out too far from the back of the headlight assembly.

Updated picture after installation... night time shots to come (but marker lights not hooked up yet... need to resolve p0302 code first).

Great job! Turned out really well. It looks like a Frontier/Pathfinder/Xterra mix. You'll never confuse your truck with another Pathfinder again.
