Hi got a 2019 SV and I absolutely abhor the chrome trim in the front makes the car look like a Sentra almost. That being said any advice from forum about painting/plastidipping the front accents? Is popping the bumper off necessary or am I better off just taping it off? Thanks
By looking at the part on eBay seems like chrome plastic is a clip on piece. So just take out the bumper and unclip chrome parts and head over to a local body shop. Pay them 50 bucks and they will paint it in black.
2018 had solid grill so you had to paint the whole grill. Not a big problem. But 2019 seems like a clip on. I also noticed that EBay sell those pieces for Nissan Rogue in black. Check it out maybe it will fit Maxima.
You can buy most (maybe all?) of the pieces in gloss black but they are pretty expensive. I replaced my chrome grill with a black one and I believe it cost around $300, although I was able to sell my old one for $100. The small piece above the license plate was about $150 so I just wrapped that myself for $20 instead. It was pain but well worth the savings, it came out really well. All that's left are the door handles and emblems but I think I'm just going to leave those be.
Did some wrapping on my 2016, I did the spoiler, roof, trunk chrome piece and rear lower facia, debated about the door handles,
but had them wrapped too, I think they blend in better than left chrome, did 2 minor strips on lower front end, but removed them, first attempt at sending pics. hope it works.
