are u guys on crack, no its not, look from the blinkers and down theres supposed to be a plastic guard there not open like it is. i know im not buggin -__-

 

That little piece is a bolt on piece you can easily remove it like four small bolts holding it on. I should know I have removed it off of three of my four maximas. 4th one is a parts car I picked up for two hundred bucks

 

o ok i knew i wasnt buggin out.
how do you remove the front bumper?
i replaced my rear bumper and it was a PITA

 

Remove headights then all screws holding the front bumper on they are on different various locations

 

i dont know how to remove the headlights so im lost, is it difficult or fairly easy to remove the headlights?

 

If you use your eyes your hands will follow . Yes it's that easy.

 

w.e smartass

 

Like Tucan Sam always says "Follow your nose" lol

a quick run thru would of been helpful.
ill figure it out.

 

its not too hard, you have to turn the white gear thingy all the way to one way (cant remember if its left or right) and theres the long skinny screw adjuster below it, you have to turn that all the way to one way as well, and IIRC theres some bolts. i cant remember though, i had to replace one headlight 2 years ago, and removed my OEM ones for the Euro ones last summer

wear gloves though, i used needlenose pliers and my hands to turn the white gear, but i had lots of bleeding cuts because of how hard it was to turn, that and on the one side the skinny screw is a b1tch to get to. its not too hard to do though

 

thanks a lot bro. im looking into getting the euro lights too since the bmw mod ones are a PITA to fabricate and ppl sell em for crazy prices.

 

Why not just take the whole headlight assembly off? It's just held on with four 10mm bolts. Two on the side under the corner light and two on the back beside the radiator (and then you can always remove the actual headlight from the assembly with it off the car)

 

nice james,

 

Dam james that's a sweet *** ve looks super clean; what you mean when you say you set it up but you never actually ran boost?

 

eh i havent done it that way yet, the junkyard car that i needed the OEM headlight off had oil EVERYWHERE under the engine bay so i just wanted the bulb assembly, and then one of the brackets on my Euro headlights was busted (i knew that when he sold them to me) so it was easier to just throw the Euro glass into my old brackets

 

That's it right there...nine times outa ten, the **** so rusted that doing it any other way is pointless.

 

hey james did u make that grill or did u buy it. i been wanting mine like that for a while now and couldnt find one and i didnt wonna mess mine up to try n make one.

 

Coming in late on this one, but I'd like to add that I think white looks best when you have accents of black. ie, the bottom-most area on the car should not be sprayed over with the white, all 3rd gens are two-toned, I can spot a respray from across town. Rock guards help avoid a white washed look as well. I think black is the classiest color for a car, but white has functional advantages.

 

Make it like what? That's just a stock VE grille

 

with the mesh on it not the stock one

 

Oh, yeah, I made it.

I used to make/sell them back in the day on here. It wasn't just your crappy run of the mill "shove some mesh in there" like you see occasionally. I added plastic/material to the underside of the upper bar of the grille so that it was solid and didn't have the 4 cut-outs along the bar, etc. I still have it in the garage

 

if you would sell it, how much shipped to 29223?

 

so to take the centerpiece out you take the 4 black bolts of each corner out and the 4 gold ones that are kinda inside right? dont want to take the wrong bolts out lol

 

Yep exactly

 

ah awesome, gonna try CF wrapping mine but the CF wrap i got on Ebay a month ago hasnt shown up yet, i dont know if the seller is backing out because i got it so cheap or what
