I need a new AE front lip!

My AE front lip broke in two pieces so I need AE front lip. I was wondering if anyone brought front lip spoiler from eBay: front lip from eBay
Also, are those same as AE lip from Nissan?

Thanks,
D

No, it's not. That will not even fit your 2001. The 02-03 front bumpers are different.

That lip will fit, its the abs lip for 00-01's they are just retared when it comes to labeling crap... its ebay what do ya expect?

But um yeah i think that lip will look better than the AE lip anyways. It is slightly different, but thats probably the best route because the dealer will rape you on the ae lip price.

It will NOt fit. 00-01's have the front grill built into the front bumper. That bumper is for a 02-03

I'm a little confused. I JUST went outside and looked at my 2001 Max, and the front lip/bumber is all one piece. NOT two different pieces like that ebay auction is stating. The front lip extends from the bottom all the way to the end of the hood, built IN that lip, is the grill!

Dude this is an aftermarket peice you put on your bumper...

This is not a stock peice. he has an anniversary maxima which came w/ a lip on it and his broke so he wants a new one... Plz try to understand whats going on and know what you are talking about before giving someone advice next time.

Ask the seller and see what he says. Just make sure what you are getting will fit. If not, then you will just be throwing away your money. Again, do you want to sell your AE lip?

Yo... to clear the air I got the abs rear lip and front lip off of flea bay for the 2003 but the front lip will only fit your 00 / 01 because of the single opening. Even after talking with those *^(*%*%*^(%^(%(%(%*(&^*&%V$%R$&^$&$ about the difference they still sent me what they had which was the one for the 5th gen. It's a Maxx Tunning knock off but still straight none the less. You can't beat it for 60.00 bucks

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-01...QQcmdZViewItem



This is also in part to save you some loot considering your not going to find the ae replacement that your looking for. This is something a little different but still looks great on the max. IMO

So this means that lip will work for your car, doesnt look quite the same as the AE but it does look better.

I will say that what he is talking about is definitely stock regardless if they stuck it on or not. It's AE ( anniversary edition ) which came with the nice lil lip kit. None the less now here is your option unless someone here is willing to give theirs up or maybe shop at the stealership and get your bung hole swole!

I don't know what happened to other AE piece. My sister hit a dog on the highway and my bumper creaked. The AE lip broken half of the piece. I went to find other piece on the highway and couldn't find it.

If I just want front lip than I have to buy whole kit from Stealership. Forget it!! My only option is eBay unless someone sells theirs AE lip here.
Thanks!

The dealership will sell the lip on its own, as I have checked it out for my Canadian AE (they do not have the body kit). You can also go to Stillen as they supplied Nissan with the parts.

I think I understand why he'c onfused about the lip. The aftermarket lip has 2 divots/spaces for what seems to be a spot for the fog lights. Therefore when you put it one, won't you have 2 big round holes between the bottom of the bumper and the lip??

You could always just go with the lip by itself. I think it would blend nicely with the AE back end. It's 56.00 + 58.00 to ship. Decent deal since it's going to cost me 210.00 to get the lip I want.

I did try dealership to find out how much for front lip. They don't sell the front lip. I have to buy the whole body kit, if I want just front lip. Forget it! Stillen lip are nice but I like AE lip more. Thanks!
