just thought i'd let everybody know how much of a champ the 4th gen maxima is....i wrecked it....





AND THEN....
FOUR MONTHS LATER...

 

What the hell did you hit?

 

you def. dont want to see my wrecked max then.
you have to admit it held up good. inside probably looks fine
PS: CLEAN YOUR HEADLIGHTS

 

did you fix it yourself or something? Im not sure whats so remarkable about this...

 

i took apart all the parts i could then a body shop did the rest.
im not sure it is remarkable...a wrecked maxima lives again...all i was showing..

 

ah ok
2 questions - 1) why did it take the shop 4 months, and 2) why didnt they paint the front bumper?

 

A damaged front bumper, at that...

 

im broke and cheap...lol i got a used front clip (i think it got damaged when they cut it, like it fell or something) and it took me 4 months to get parts cheap and it was only in the shop a week.

 

another ones bites the dust...SIKE! lol

 

The 4th gens are champs. I had a very similar front end accident...wasn't really my fault...car jump over infront of me. My radiator was sitting on my motor! And she still crunk up and let me drive her 30+ miles. Wasn't the smartest thing I did...lol the situation really called for me to get my car out of the area asap and she drove like nothing was wrong. Didn't even get hot on me. My love got stronger at that moment for my max.

 

aint that something... when i bought my first max i had three of them standing in front of me to choose...1rst was a silver 95 se auto black black leather and everything, 2nd was a 96 gxe black auto with no luxuries + front hit and the 3rd one was a 98 green gle i picked the second have owned it for 5 years now with no problem...now after 5 years i still have that and i got a 95 se, 97 se and a 98 gxe the only year missing is 99 which is probably coming next year...every one hates me big time for owning 4 same cars but oh well....

 

Boring, and you got the wrong grill....

 

Great job putting it back together, good to see people don't just give up!
You coulda just painted it yourself though, just get the paint code, order the same color and spray it on. It's not that expensive if you do the work.

Also, you need an emblem man! Display that Nissan logo proudly

 

Thanks guys for the support...i will get it painted as soon as i get money, lol.

As for you Fr33way, im so sorry this bores you
And i believe 97-99 parts are the same...so my grill is not wrong...

 

I think he meant the chrome vs the painted grill. Chrome = GLE and painted = SE. Correct me if i'm wrong.

 

good job i guess.

 

GXE also comes in chrome. only SE is maint to match.

 

All of these threads with wrecked Maximas make me exponentially more paranoid that 4th gens are magnets for accidents. Glad everything worked out though...

 

Thats a lot of work good job on not giving up after 4 months.

+1

 

well if it makes you feel better it looks like you needed a wash any ways.....

 

Nice fix man.Good to see that your Max lives on.........

 

are you 100 percent sure the frame is straight?

 

Ohh, ok. I didn't know about the grill thing, thanks!

and yes im sure...i paid 300 extra for frame work...

 

yeah that's why i love em!!!!1
