Good job, that's where Im at except I have the heads too.

timwdv

Are you using the oem fogs? I just got my hood in, I will order my heads first week in march

RAZ76

iTrader: (8)

Yes, Oem with 6K HID. Same as the head. Where did you get the hood.

timwdv

I got the hood from a local junk yard, it was $75 big ones. Im going back to get more parts this weekend off that car, it was hit by a semi from the rear other than that its in pretty good shape

Lucky, I wish I had that luxury. I have to pay dealer prices for my hood since I can't find it anywhere.

dummy76

I had to pay dealer prices, too - I looked for 2 months for a hood with no luch at all.

Looks good, are you going to do something to close the gap between the bottom of the headlights & where the bumper meets up? Or leave it alone for now?

timwdv - ill try and get some pix this weekend.

slvrmax07 - the difference is that i still am using the 04 headlights.

looks good. startin mine once weather cools down. got EVERYTHING cept headlights wich are on the way

timwdv

its actually a very easy project besides getting the parts, dropping the bumper was a piece of cake installing the grill was even easier and as far as the fog light harness im following this link

http://forums.maxima.org/6th-generat...d-install.html

after i get the hood ill paint the hood or probably the whole car over, i have a couple of dings here and there from stupid walmart shoppers hitting my car but ill post some pics of the 07 wing and rear bumper when i get a chance

timwdv

oh yea i got those just not sure which fogs i want to use the original oem fogs or some 4'' piaa clear fogs with 6k HIDs before i put the finishers on

timwdv

its a small bumper bracket under the headlights that hold up the bumper at the point causing it not to have a gap, i just havent had the time to bend them up to hold it in place, probably will do so when it goes to the body shop to get sprayed

those supports were missing on my car...when i installed them it made a world of difference

timwdv

it sure does i am in the process of removing them and pushing them up a few inches so that the gap between heads and the bumper are slim to none

eK9aT10pSi

iTrader: (1)

omg, im tryin to tihnk off hand, i dont remember those being on mine when i did the swap. i wonder how much those brackets are.

Lovemycar

Nice job so whats happends if you don't change the hood can't you post a pick is there much over lap?

Snakezilla

nice job

timwdv

they are like $7 i'll get the part number, you should be able to see the bracket right under the headlight if not get a flat head and pry it a bit to see if its mounted on it, the bumper has a hole for where it needs to go

I think it's a reinforcement Clip. Mine had them.
