How well will that match with my color code? The car is 8 years old i really like the way the 03 front end is though and I'd like to convert my 00'. How difficult is this to do?

It may just be the 03 Grille that I like? Here's another link...what do you think? It says it fits on 00's too.

I would just buy a blank bumper and pay shop to paint it, and there will be gaps under your headlights, because the 5th and 5.5s are different

other than that.....

 

could I just get a 5.5 grille and put it in my 5th gen?

 

The second link you have is just some chrome looking stickers ment to go on the grill its not a new grill it does look nice though I might get a set to match the chrome pillars I've got.

 

no

 

lol...that was easy.

 

Don't forget the 5th gen fogs are different then 5.5

But if you do this definitely get 5.5 headlights , I haven't gotten mine yet and i have a huge gap cause i still have my AEs.

 

I've seen it done before, but you will have to acquire, new 5.5 fogs, 5.5 bumper, 5.5 grille, and 5.5 headlights.....im not sure but it may be something else needed

 

Here's my front end. Still have the AE lights so I have gap galore , and I haven't installed the fogs yet.

This thread is what helped me out a lot.

what is so different about the grille? That is the only reason I want it...the 5th gen is so plain...I'm happy with my headlights and fogs right now too so idk if i wanna upgrade all that.

 

To bad you dont live in Nor Cal , I would trade with you . I miss my AE lip

 

i have an 03 grill, on my 2000 but my after market bumper was modefied. Id say just get the 03 bumper, and either 03 headlights, or the projectors, and do a retro fit.

 

How much work was it to get the grille on? Im happy with my headlights and H.I.D's....I just realllly want that grille.

 

Unless youre really good at working plastic and have a lot of free time its not worth trying to fit the larger grill into your bumper.






Thats a 2k 2k1 chrome grill sorround in a 2k2 2k3 bumper.Not the same size.

 

man....i really need a new grille...im so sick of mine, too bad they dont make any good ones for a stock 00'

 

well there was not a lot of work involved to get that grill on, as my aftermarket bumper was made for an 02/03.

It looks like your only choice is to pick up a used 02/03 bumper. Post in classifieds maybe you will find one.

 

you will need the 02-03 bumper, 02-03 foglights, 02-03 grille, and to remove the headlight gap, the 02-03 headlights

best bet would be to look in a junkyard
where are you located?
you will find a sh*tload of maximas in the NY/NJ area junkyards

 

Jacksonville, FL ......NJ and NY are too far
