both my front and rear bumpers are messed up, ya know rocks, garage doors, that kinda thing, well im looking into getting new bumpers and need input for the best place to get stockers, or should I just go aftermarket, cost is the main concern.
thanks

 

Try ebay, I have seen stock primered bumpers on there for $40-60.

 

no those bumpers are not stock. they say they fir like stock. get oem bumpers from a dealership cause the fitment will be 100% perfect and so will be the quality. aftermarket or reproduced parts suck. they never fit right and i rather pay $20 to $30 more for a original new bumper than a new reproduced bumper from taiwan.

 

Just go OEM bumper with stillen lip. All the other bumpers that are out for the maxima right now are kinda crappy IMO.

Or you could wait a couple of more months for the m-bumper from www.redlinemax.com to come out. But seriously they probably won't have that out for another year or so.

 

yup that is the best for our cars right now. i will get my stillen kit tomorrow and i cant wait to get it on.

 

PM max noob. he've done the convertion and it turned out great.

 

thanks all, ya the m bumber is about the only bumper im really intersted in, so any guesses on how much oem bumpers run? I dont even know where to look besides calling up a dealer, and I am well aware of how dealers like to charge a hefty amount of $$....

I replaced my front bumper with one I found on ebay. Fits like a glove and its decent quality for the price(you get what you pay for) if your not looking to spend too much, I suggest you look up the ones on ebay. Dont even call a dealer, unless you like to pay extra $ for no reason.

 

Perhaps a shop can repair your bumpers for you if there not that bad.

If you find out who supplies your local body shops with aftermarket parts (bumpers, lights ect.) they usually carry remanufactured OEM bumper covers as well. There not as expensive as OEM replacements and not as cheap as aftermarket which usually don't fit well. The remanufactured OEM covers are the best bang for your buck if yours need to be replaced.

Ok so let me just say this, Last week I got my 97-99 bumber for my 95 front end con, Got it from e bay. I had no problems with the fit, It looks good and I am more then happy with it. I will say that its a pain to get the old one off. Other then that no problems.

 

so QuickSilver71, tell us what you had to remove to get the front bumper off.

 

check out www.rockauto.com
They are pretty cheap for that kind of thing. (OEM)
You can get it primed and ready to go.

 

to tkae bumper off it is very simple.

remove headlights unscrew all the bolts on top and on the bottom and 3 nuts on each side.

 

also are u sure www.rockauto.com are OEM? NISSAN ORIGINAL PARTS?

 

took me around 4 hours to do, all bolts and nuts, no big deal, lights grille, you will need to cut alittle from that black plate under your car. But like I said no big deal doing this job and I had no idear what I was doing. And it looks so much better now

I know that this is a little off subject but QuikSilver71, i got into a wreck a couple of days ago and need a new bumper. You said that you got it off of ebay. Do you remember the seller's name?

 

I looked it up for you and it was wwwauto-bodypartscom Fast shippers too, I had no problems with them.

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2477872871 he has one for sale now.

 

Everything I have ordered from www.rockauto.com has been OEM quality. It is the kind of stuff that you would get from the dealership or from NAPA or somewhere like that.

I mean, there is a possibility that not everything there is OEM, but I have looked for a lot of aftermarket stuff on their site, and they don't have it.

The only thing aftermarket I have ordered from them is brake pads, and those are pretty common to any store.
