Self install 07-08 Rear Bumper
#4
If you have a new bumper you'll see on the new bumper all the holes. These will guide you to where you need to start on the bumper you are taking off. Unless your removing it for another reason.

Ok, noob questions:
Was this an straight up mod or did you replace the old bumper cuz' it was damage?
How much difference in design are the bumpers?
Any before install pics?
Looks really good!

$499 plus shipping. Got it from ebay a place called theonlinebodyshop. They sent it painted with the color code. They have horrible customer service. Thought they were trying to run off with my money. The product is nice though.

Looks really nice. I just ordered mine from Ebay... it was from salvage but is white like mine and still in mint condition with no scratches.... The only issue is the one I have has those sensor holes which I dont know what to patch them with? Ill go to the crafts store and find something to put over them. I really like the look of the 08 bumper--much more defined and structured. Looks just like it has a rear diffuser and I love the two-tone.

$500 is marvelous. Some dude with a trailer hitch backed into my car in a mall parking lot and ran. I have a nice gash in my bumper and my bodyshop wants $500 to fix just that. I wish i could find an 07-08 bumper in silver....

Started a whole thread on http://forums.maxima.org/6th-generat...hgenmaxima.org about my experience. They promised 10 business days to ship and after the tenth day I called. Got the run around always saying its going to ship today or next day. They told me that for another week and then it went into the start of the fourth week. I thought it was a scam. Good thing is Paypal gives you 45days to dispute goods for services. I put a hold on the funds twice and then they started to call me with answers and the wrong tracking number. They pleaded with me to cancel the dispute for the second time after they provided the true tracking/shipping info. It was a nightmare ! It came greyhound and I had to take it out the box and loop it through the trunk over the rear seats and out the moonroof.
I can only say that they did a great job with the paint match and product.

Despite whats been said about the company, they're the only 07-08 bumper i can find and considering the way the paint looks and how it turned out, I'll wait 3 weeks, as long as they let me know it's going to take that long haha.
I have some body work that needs done over my rear tire on the fender and the body shop has to remove my old bumper anyways, so I think ill just give it to them to put the new one on. I dont think you mentioned it, but is it just a bolt on or does it require any sort of adjustments to put on an 04? just in case they ask or if i decide to do it myself.
Thanks in advance

I pulled some upper back muscles and the only thing I remember doing is the bumper install. So either I didn't know what the hell I was doing or maybe its a two man job?
Rate would be a 7, Putting the new one on was hard. Didn't want to scratch it or drop it. Had to pull and push for the hole under the tail lights to align. Got one side on while the other side hung. It makes sense for two people to do this but you can do it yourself.

Factory option. I think I read that the 07-08 SL has full paint or with the rear sonar. Maybe have it repainted but I think once the bottom portion is painted thats it.

Perfect. I was a little scared that I'd have to modify or it won't fit flush because the parts place rep told me its a different shape but took the chance anyways. The 04-06 is boring, the 07-08 I can two tone it so it carries the same concept as the summer kit.
