Is it hard to change the bumpers by myself ? should i just pay someone else to do it without risking ? thanks, i wanna know if im capable of changing it by myself, i dont have experience but im used to fixing stuff so maybe i can do it... thanks guys !!

Take a flat head and put it between the side marker and the signal, pop the side marker out and there will be a screw to get out with a philips. That's all! Takes 2 min.

You may want to get put the screwdriver tip in a soft cloth and then slide in between the bumper and the light. Keep from scratching the paint.

this is the easiest thing to do.. like everyone else said..stick a flat head screw driver in between where the corner lights come together and pop the smaller of the two out.. pretty simple

Yea, pay someone to do it. It's a pretty big job and takes lots of patience. I would say a fair cost would be around $37.46. You probably are not capable of changing them yourself, since you are making a thread like this.

Although, when making a sharp right and left turn will most likely throw the corner lights out from the bumper, resort to your owner's manual for the proper directions.

Easter has some fatties sitting in the back seat and some dead bodies that he hit when driving as they got blinded by the fenders.

and for future reference to the thread originator, before running to the org and posting you should just go take a look at what you want to ask a question about. usually you can answer your own question by OBSERVING or trying things out.
basically, dont be helpless.

yea man, not to be an a$$, but if you cannot try to change those, and figure it out, maybe you should not be into cars. it takes all of about 3 min to do it at the very most. before posting a question go and see what you can do about putting them in, and maybe you might amaze yourself.

my girl even knows how to do it and it is not even her car.

You only pry between the two pieces of plastic, but still good advice.

And look,

Your ride is your ride man, I don't like the flares and such but I do like the grill (would look, and match better in black AGAIN only MY preference).

Browse around on the .org and on cardomain to get a feel for some Maxima styles out there, are pepboys fender extenders (and similar products) the way you really want to go? If it is, so be it!

Changing those lights should take about 5min and some patience if you have any. sometimes it is good to try to do certain things yourself rather than pay someon to do it. $40 for just 5min that is crazy but hey do whatever fills right to you. Flatend, philips and 3-5min. Those fenders ar kinda out there, our cars are not made for fende trim, it throws the entire car out of wack. Loose them please
