replacing front end of a 95

So I have a 95 maxima and I was involved in a wreck about a week ago. I am trying to find out if I get parts from the junk yard to replace some of the tore up ones if there is anything I have watch out for. Say I get some parts from a 98 or so. Or if they are all the same. I know there are some slight differences between them

Only the SE has small differences.

Do you happen to know what any of them are because I basically have to replace every bolt on piece behind the bumper cover.

Do you have an SE?
If not then just avoid SE's.

The only real difference is the FSB and some extra body support in the front end iirc.

Fog lights - SE
No fog lights - non SE.

If you have 95, look for 95-96 Maxima in junk yards and pull off the front end and be done. There is a difference in the 97-99 front end compared to the 95-96.

Since you have a 95 and you find a 95-96 everything will be the same, now say u go there and you find a 97-99 here's wat will be diff.

The front bumper
Grille
Same style headlights but with a clear lens
Fog lights

Everything bolts right upto your 95, you don't need to do anything special in terms of installations,

Couple things to keep in mind, if you decide to take the 97-99 front bumper take the grille also and vice versa, or else you will be left with a gap if u put ur 95 grille on the 97-99 bumper,

If you take the 97-99 fog lamps make sure you also take the mounting brackets,

if you have more questions please ask

If you go to the junkyard and need immediate help I'm a phone call away 917-442-1775 call or text is fine,

Ok thank you. My car came with fog lights but I haven't had them in for awhile now. But I need everything bumper cover, bumper support headlights. The only thing that didn't get messed up where the marker lights.

My swaps

I have successfully swapped a 99 se rear bumper cover, 97 se front bumper cover and passenger fender, 99 grill and 99 se fogs. All front end parts bolted right on up to all the 95 stuff, even the fogs. The rear cover on the other hand took some extra holes for the bolts to line up. On a Friday night with a twelve pack you can accomplish a lot.
