I was wondering if anyone out there has experince in putting maxima body parts together. I will soon get my hood, right fender, ight light assembly and bumper cover... Does anyone wanna help me... Or should i take it to the shop.. Any input? Thanks.

 

what is your questions exactly? yeah it's not a difficult job..depending on your skill.

are you looking for someone to go there and help u or something??

 

Basically the quesstions are:
1-Is the job hard to put all the pieces together
(HOod, Light, Bumoper Cover, Right Fender)
2-Um, meeting in or around the lower east side of manhattan.
3- Or should I take it to the body shop and have them put the pieces together.
4-If I do take it to a shop, what am I looking at in terms of prices.

P/S- My chassi is disalined somewhat.. but when i let go she stays straight... so I am guessing that its not such a bad problem.

Just looking for some answers

 

are the body panels the same color, or do you care about painting them?


if the fenders are different color, you'll need to get them at least "edged" before you install them on the car. (that means getting the stuff around the edges where it bolts onto the car).
that'll cost about $75/fender, same for the hood- they just shoot a coat of two of the base color on it so it will be the same general color as the rest of the car.

once you get it all bolted on, you'll have to had it painted again, but they'll do the full base/clear/pearl finish on those.

bumper cover is easy bolt-on.
same with the hood. just have a helper or two to hold the hood while someone is bolting it down.
getting it to line up with the fenders isn't bad, but you have to be careful. again, have a couple helpers to hold everything in place.

the fenders are also DIY, if you know what you're doing. open the doors and you'll see a few bolts inside there that hold the fender down. there's half a dozen or so along the top of the fender.
remove the fender liner and you'll see even more bolts.

corner lamps, headlights, etc are all easy stuff. just a couple bolts here and there.

I'd say it's a full day's work to get everything removed and reinstalled, providing there's no damage to the mounting points on the car.
