I want to the the conversion on my 95 maxima (dark green). I already ordered the bumper (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2451384266) and the grille (http://www.carpartswholesale.com/cgi...N&model=MAXIMA). Can I go without changing the headlights, will everything fit fine. Besides, fogs, what else will I have to change? Let me know if ya'll have any front end parts (97-99) for sale too.

 

Your old headlights will fit.

 

you should've tried to find used OEM stuff. Those aftermarket front bumpers don't fit like OEM. At the bottom of the bumper where it meets each fender stick out a little bit on mine. not too noticeable.

 

just finished diong my conversion and everything fits fine. looks MUCH better i'll post pics when i get some.

 

dont order grill.i think the 97-99 grill is uglier than the 95-99 but the 97-99 bumper is definately better. thats all IMO

 

here's some fact for 95-96 convertion to 97-99:

1. you can change to 97-99 grill without changing to 97-99 bumper
2. you can use 95-96 headlights on a 97-99 front end
3. you can change to 97-99 front bumper without changing to 97-99 grill

IMO for those who has 95-96, don't waste time and $$ on the convertion. check out gtr_rider's(luke's) grill-tech racing grill on his superblack 95 GXE. IMO it looks hot, nice and clean, saves $$ and time, plug and play.

 

Are you sure about the grills? They are different, I don't think they fit right without the correct bumper under it. I've never directly tried so I don't know 100%....

Have you?

 

do any of you doing the conversion have a 95/96 passenger-side foglamp (with the mounting brackets) you're willing to part with?

 

this is exactly what im trying to look for but need a bit more answers

 

anybody?

 

STICKIES! this has been covered for years.

 

lol. yo dude use the stickies, they have all the info you need and the search function is free.

 

Repppresent for the 95/96 man! We the elite!

 

Don't forget the core support and sytrofoam for the 97-99 swap

 

WTF, I just noticed this thread is from 2003!

 

LOL to resurrecting a 4 year old thread XD

 

I blame free search

 

I like how he couldnt even wait a minute for a reply.
I blame the public school system, Where are my tax dollars going?

 

lol nice notice.

 

I didnt use the 97-99 core support or foam. Just the cover.

 

Well, unless you have an OEM bumper cover I would definately use a core support and the new foam because aftermaket bumpers will break a lot easier without any support behind them.

 

I dont think any of them that have done the conversion replaced the core support, just the bumper cover, grill for some, and lights if they wanted to.

 

Well, whatever then. I swapped everything grille, bumper, fogs, headlights, core support and sytrofoam support.

 

Ive been swapped for years, no issues.
Fogs have to be swapped.

 

Yeah, but do you use aftermarket bumpers? If so, I guess they're better quality than the ones I get....

 

I know fogs have to be swapped....that was my point, I swapped everything front end wise...

 

DID THE BUMPER OFF THE 97-99 FIT RIGHT ON THE 95

 

Yes, mine was some cheap aftermarket one the body shop got for me .
