Time for a Front end Conversion

The story is all on my Cardomain page. Guy stops short, Max goes under bumper. Everyone involved is ok....the guy didn't even know what was going on. Heres a Pic, the rest are on my cardomain.
Kevin.

Good part is that the damage didn't go into the fenders, strictly front end. If the shop will be willing to do it, I'm going to have them get me a 97-99 front end and lights. I figure since it will fit with no problems, it shouldn't be a big deal for them to do that.

Something like that happened to me so I got the 97-99 headlights but went with the 95 bumper and grill.

Yeah, I'd do that but I figured why not go all the way while I have the chance.

damn, I feel your pain, glad everyone was ok.

Looking at your sig you max looks so good, then the top picture and its scary. Hell yeah get the 97 front and everything is an bolt on so I say go for it, and throw on the stillen lip too that would complete the look.

yea your front looks like mine, but mine isnt as bad (F**kin deer).

The accident knocked out the Nissan logo too? or did you take that out?

The guys ball hitch went through my grille and pushed back my radiator.
I never thought about doing an I30 conv. Maybe I'll look around and see what I can find. So far I've got the grille, hood, and bumper found...all together those will cost me 165 to my door. It looks like I might get out of this deal pretty cheap. Thanks for the comments.

scratch the bumper and use this kit: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=352501

you'll probably need... lights, hood, grill, and fenders... for the front... man that would look hot with a stillen kit...

you could even use some smoked cefiros and have (from what it looks like) no fitment issues at all...

I'd like to, but thats just more money than I have right now. I'll probably just get the 97-99 front and some Cefiros. I'm thinking maybe CF hood, but I'll have to see what I can find.
