You may wanna just repair the old one...

The OEM Nissan one's are quite expensive (~$500, I think) and the aftermarket are about $300 or so, but they're, well, aftermarket and may not fit as well. Personally, I'd rather have a repaired OEM than a new aftermarket. BTW, they don't come painted, so you'll have to have it finished regardless. Small holes and chips are easy fixes to the material.

If you do decide to by a new one, by all means, shop around. You could easily save $100 from one dealer to the next (I'd buy local to save on the shipping charges, which could be alot for a large item like that).

Hope this helps.

I paid 200.00 for the lip and the my springs here on the forum. But I think you should contact Avalon Racing, new one will run you like 175.00-200.00, my guess. Also, check this out:

Correction,

I have a 96' Maxima and I NEEDED to replace my front bumper, due to cracking and warping. I replaced it with a 97-99 front bumper and the whole bumper itself was one 169.99, I purchased it at a nearby body shop. Well, to get that bumper and a 97-99 grill, to have them painted and installed was all only 360.00, VERY VERY reasonable. Looks great.

I too have an SE and emailed these people, here's their response:

The Bumper cover on Ebay will not fit yours if yours has fog lights. The price on a new front bumper cover already primed with the holes for fog lights costs $95.00

ok... Well I can get them for $65 each primed and aftermarket... this the price for both the w/ fogs and w/ out fogs.. ones...
If you need one let me know...
I suspect shipping is $15 or so.. I'm in Jacksonville, Fl.
Maybe there is an Aftermarket place by you I can have it dropped shipped from that will save $$ to.

If you got a 95-96 then you will have to cut out the front bumper cover to fit the fog lights. You just have to cut around the indentation on the cover where the fogs should go. But if you got a 97-99 then all you have to do is cut the ends of the two horizontal pieces on the bumper cover.
and i think the foglightare different between 95-96 and 97-99.
