Deciding on which bumper to use...

I'll be replacing my front bumper due to a small accident and I was thinking of replacing my GXE front with an SE. I know the only difference is the fog light cut-outs, but I think the two holes look like brake vents (sportier) and wanted to know what everyone thought about this. Thanks in advance.

So you're wondering if you should get an SE front end and leave off the foglights?

just to clear up, you dont have fog lights but want to get an SE bumper with the fog light openings?

what year is your car? if its a 96 then why not get the 97 bumper?

Then I'd have to get the center grill, not sure what it's called, between the lights and I read certain mods need to be done to make it fit properly. More work than I'd like to do. I don't want to run a body kit. I just wanted to make my stock Max look a little sportier. Thanks.

I think that's not going to look very good. I'd say get the foglights if you're going for an SE bumper, that in itself will give you a sportier look than GXE. You'd probably be able to find the foglights with the bumper if you're doing some junkyard searching.

You can do whatever you want and get the SE bumper cover. But the frontend of your car would look like its got too many holes in it w/o having the fogs. The only time I've seen this is from t/c'd maximas using intercoolers. They need room for the intercooler so they remove the foglamps and other things behind the lower valance.
