just bought a 2008 maxima...
 

hey guys havent been here for a while since i sold my 1998 maxima. anyway im back with a new maxima 2008 i bought wit some damage. well heres the thing i need a new front bumper...new fog lights...new driver door...new right fender and a new hood. minor damage but i dont know whether i need to get these parts from only a 07-08 maxima or can i get any of them from 2004-2008 maximas? thanks for the replies by the way its a 2008 maxima s.l

Congrats!

You can get a new front bumper from ebay painted and shipped within $300. Check this out http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NISSA...spagenameZWD1V

For hood, door, fender and fog lights, check out http://www.nissanpartsonline.net/

Some of the parts for 07-08 are different from 04-06, such as front bumper. So make sure you buy the right parts. Best of luck.

thanks but which of these parts can i take from 04-07 maxima? like i know the bumper wont be the same but what about the hood and the left fender and foglights? also my door has the keyless entry button and i need the driver door

Congrats on the purchase. I realy love the look of the 07-08' Maxima(09' either :))
As for the parts. Just the fender and door are interchangeable. I mean they would fit any 04-08' Maxima

what about the door? can i just get a 2004 maxima door and put on my 2008? can i put the keyless entry button that was on my 08 door to a 04 maxima door or do i just need to get a 08 door period

The door-assy is absolutely the same. Just swap the rest from your old door to the new one ;)

The hood, headlights, bumpers, and fog lights are NOT interchangable. The headlights and the design of the front of the hood and bumper is diff in the 07-08 than 04-06. As for the keyless thing, I think it's a feature on the door handle, but I could be wrong. I suggest calling the local dealer about the keyless thing on the doors. A fellow org member converted the 04 to an 07 look, and he had to buy the 07 hood, lights, and bumper to convert it.

I hope this helps :-)

alright thanks you guys. i really would like to just get a 2004 door since its cheaper but i want that keyless entry button feature thats on my 08 door. i will call the dealership tommorow

I saw call the dealership ... If you like your Maxima ... DON"T CALL THE DEALERSHIP !!!!

why not?

Dealers aren't really the most honest & trusted place on earth... I got screwed over big time by one. Anyhow, all you need to ask them is if the keyless feature of the 08 is in the handle or is it a wired device that's installed in the door... see what they say. Based on that, you can choose between the 04 door or only an 08

yeah thanks i called the dealer yesterday they said the keyless button is just on the handle and i can just attach the current handle i have on my 08 to an 04 door.
