The 95 & 96 are the same. 97+ is different. The bumper fascia is also different, you'll notice the fog lamp openings are not the same.

the 95-96 bumper is more rounded and the fogs are bigger...the 97 is more aggressive and the fogs are smaller

However, the 95-96 has a more aggresive front bumper fascia so we win hands down! Plus, we're faster

Which one? I think I'm right on the money ...

We're faster

And we look good. The chromie bar on the 97+ resembles the older Altima, and the bumper styling is more conservative on the 97+. On the 95-96, we've got this nice air dam ... good to put an intercooler ehh?

Oh well, to each his/her own.

I agree that the 95-96 Maxs are nicer. But this really is subjective. Some desire the smaller, more conservative look (us) and others like the agressive look.

I think that the 95-96 actually look smaller, esp. from the rear and quarter panel camera shots.

BTW, I also like the glass fogs. Though they're more prone to shatter, they look really good....BIG. That's what I like about em. And I think the 3-layer clear lens that goes on witht 95-96s is awesome.
