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

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?

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

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

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
