I just got rear ended last night and now I need a new bumper. That gave me the excuse to do the 97-99 trunk conversion on my 96. I had 2 questions. Will the bumber from a 97-99 bolt right on or will it need custom work done? Also where can I find a trunk lid.? I am not paying over $600 for a carbon fiber trunk lid. I'd be painting it anyway and the weight difference is not worth it to me. I checked almost every junkyard in Orlando and I only found 2 but both had damage. Does anyone know where I can find a trunk lid new or used without paying over $400?

 

There was a thread last week, a member from the org found a cf trunk lid for a '95-'96 maxima on ebay for real cheap. I believe the winning bid was somewhere around $300. Anyway, try looking on ebay if you want a cf trunk lid, I can't think of any other place other than a junkyard where you can find a cheap trunk lid. The '97+ bumper should fit right onto your car.

 

CF trunk lid for 95-96ers??? When did this come out? Have I been away this long!? Haha damn

That's a 97-99. I have yet to see any 95-96 CF trunk. I want one though.

 

Hmm... just realized that. My fault.

 

You gave me false hopes lol

 

i got my 97 trunk lid for 200. by the time the bodyshop buys and paints the trunk lid it is actually worth going CF but if u want the real trunk lid u just gotta get lucky and dont be picky. if u gotta paint it paint it

 

Lol sorry man. I read it too fast.

 

wha the trunk lid is diff for 97-99 then for 95-96?

 

The inner tails are differnt

 

^^explain please i don't get it

 

95-96 tail lights don't fit on 97-99?

 

Correct, and vice versa.

 

Just look around the classifieds section and on eBay until you find one. I found one in pearl white that was local to me so I jumped on it.

 

i always thought that apart from the front bumper and the maxima emblem at the back, everything else was exactly the same, whenit comes to the 95-96 and the 97-99. i guess i thought wrong.

 

head lights grille Rear bumper fog lights. there is a lot dif on the outside of a maxima from 95-96 and 97-99

 

even the fog lights are different? dang....i wanted to get some
