Front end question...

Ok so i recently got in an accident poor max. But the point is i need a new bumper, hood, radiator support, headlights and signals.... I found a 97 in my area that is parting out... My only question would be if there is any difference between my 95 and the 97... Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

the difference are

1.better looking front bumper
2.better looking front grille
3.if it has fogs updated looking fogs
4.Your car will have the front end 97-99 conversion
5. the turn signals are the same from 95-99 maxima
6. Better looking headlights, instead of glass they r plastic

It will work, if your able to get the bumper support get that too, if not the 95-96 support has two metal tabs that need to be removed to install the 97-99 bumper cover.

I actually hate the 97-99 grill, it reminds me of an Chevy Malibu grill.

Yes you should be able to swap these parts out with little to no changes. Just a couple of mounting brackets so be sure to get them with the parts.

Hey Flava,

What two metal tabs are they, I'm getting the bumper painted and am getting ready install a 97-99 bumper on my 96. That's good info to have if doing this converstion.

Side note, What's with all the Jesus cars?? That twice I've seen pics of car "walking" on water!!! Better yet, anyone know where I can get one of these cars? Save a killing not needing a boat on the weekends.
