I highly doubt it since the mounting is totally different between both cars. But, anything's possible with major modifications.

Yes, as well as a couple write ups about how to do the mods yourself.

The altima ones are nice but you'll never get the fabrication done for those to look right unless you pay the cost which is way more then what it's worth. The base will not fit at all do to the point it makes where as ours is rounded off.

The only thing you coud do is "try" to mount just the mirror itself to the oem base. It probably wont work either but hey... good luck.

Paradox shells don't look anything like the Altima mirrors. Not to mention all the one's I've seen look like ****.

/ not done!

Do you mean these?

Those don't look too bad, although I'd much rather have body color than the S4-style chrome. I'm putting my $140 towards a Stillen RSB though

Ok, seriously. This isn't high school, get off your high horse and stop making distinctions between newbies and veterans, as if it really matters. We're all here because we like Maximas, so who cares if you've been here since the dawn of time and have 5 bazillion posts to your name. I've seen how you post, soonerfan, and probably half of those come from flaming newbies. You used to be noobs too, so stop expecting everyone to be impressed with your sense of entitlement and just talk about cars.

What exactly is anyone supposed to learn from that? So no, I didn't "start all of this". But if you want to try to act like a mod when you aren't one and lord it over everybody, go ahead. Just don't expect newbies or anyone else to respect you for it.

im not a mod...but this thread will get locked.
i dont expect newbies to respect me but those that dont get their feelings hurt actually realize that i know plenty about our cars. people like you would rather cry about getting treated a certain way than actually learn something

Typical... this thread turned into some other $hit. The originator of this thread has posted in here twice. Yet, there is a post count of 34.

Veteran or not it doesn't give you the right to talk to anyone like that. It's easy to type that nonsense here but I bet you wouldn't say that $hit to their face.

1. Anything different than stock is stupid (expect the ones on the white max they look decent from pics)
2. People who have been here a while can pick on n00bs because they are n00bs. We have been through the same thing.
3. Im in before thread lock

To the person who started this thread if a side turn signal is your ultimate goal then a front marker rewire to come on with the turn signals is a possible option if you have a hard time doing the mod with the new Altima mirrors. Other choices of mirrors you might want to consider to do some measurements on to see if they might fit are the ones from the 07 VW Passat and the 07 Subaru Legacy with this option. Nice idea though and if would be nice if you got one to fit with little modifications so that it would look like stock. Good Luck.
