I'm looking into buying an 02/03 5th generation. I'm not all that crazy about the front bumper - for an aggressive car I think it looks too roundy or wimpy. I LOVE the bumper on the 20th Anniversary Edition I think in the 01's? It's basically the same exact bumper except it has the extra lip on the bottom that sticks out.

Anyone know the best/cheapest place to get that bumper? I mean, I guess I could order it from Nissan but it will be pricey. Then, regardless of where I get it, I'll have to have it painted.

If anyone's done this before, let me know if you have some suggestions! I'm new on the site and will hopefully be a Maxima owner very soon. I'm looking at the silver color.

just get Stillen front lip

the 2k2/2k3 with the stillen front lip is IMO the best bumper/lip combo out there. It makes the car look really agressive. If you decide to go witht eh 2k1 AE, you have to get a 2k/2k1 bumper and then buy the AE lip which sometimes can cost some serious money.

2k2 with stillen classic lip is a nice combo

a 2k1 AE front lip from the dealer alone is $300 plus dollars

That's EXACTLY what i was looking for - i thought it was a 1 piece bumper, but that's even better news. I've never made a single mod to a car I've own, but I think this is must.....where would be the best place (or website) to buy one? They don't come painted do they?

SWC... southwest somebody here will post the right website. It is cheaper than Stillen same product. I got mine from there....

most of the better "kits" are just additions and not a completely new bumper

Anyone know their website?

I just looked up the lip spoiler on Stillen and they want $251 for it - I've worked at Honda before and that's pretty pricey for just a lip spoiler. P

ahah, nNO WAYY!!




Q: but on topic does anyone know the estimated cost (before painting), of the stock 02/03 complete front bumper and grill? and yea is there a specific nissan dealer that stands out anywhere in the country for cheap nissan parts? i researched all options and they all look extremely flamming for 00 stock and the other mesh grill like metalmaxima has, just not into it..

i already have the 02 hood painted and the 2k2 headlight fixtures so i figure the 02 bumper and grill makes the most sense down the road..
