I've admired your car about a million times since I got on the org. Job well done. Thanks for the info.

 

Hey SYCEFIRO, how did you get your headlights to look like that in the before picture? I have a I30 and I wouldnt mind getting my headlights like that.

 

those are maxima lights with (pretty sure) painted covers.

 

If I just changed the hood,grill, fenders and headlight, will it still fit a maxima bumper?

 

Those are some sort of cefiro one piece headlights. I don't know if they were just painted like that or they are some different type of style. They are not maxima lights that is for sure.

 

I think BlackOnBlack98 is right about it. It's maxima lights but you don't see them, since they have a clear cover that's painted so you don't see the space between the light and corner. GTS makes covers, you can tell it's a cover because it's sticking out on the sides (there's more material on top of the lights).

 

No, that is how the cefiro's fit on the maxima's, they kinda stick out of the sides like that. I don't think those are maxima's headlights

 

Picture on Top: 1998 Nissan Maxima Headlight w/ Phantom Headlight Covers (Similar to GTS Clear headlight covers but came pre-painted) I don't know if they still sell these?

Picture in the middle Cefiro conversion

Picture on the bottom: Cefiro Smoke Headlight (DIY piece)

Sorry for the confusion

A little late but just want to say that is a freakin' nice conversion!

 

damn

 

Mike.. would you be interested in my 3-piece Cefiro Front Lip?
Email me.. I have the sample (but you will need to re-painted in to dark green)
The sample I got was pre-painted in Black.

YGM .........

 

offtopic- SY, Im still waiting for paypal to verify me so I can send money to you for the emblem.

 

are the bumper reinforcement, absorber, and bracets the same? also, do you reuse your hood hinges? i'm assuming the maxima bumper does not fit.

 

Yo ...I have an I 30 and im thinkin about doing a 00-02 maxima front end conversion.....if so do u want my front end... i have cefiro lights...grille....everything

 

what year is your i30

 

my infiniti is a 96

 

I just recently hit a deer with my 95 max and am planning on doing the I30 front end conversion. I need a few questions answered. I know the main parts I need for the swap but I need just a little more info. I've e-mailed SYCefiro and Lilswole02 and have yet to hear from them.

1. For the new lights that wil be on the car(headlights, foglights, corner lights, etc.) What wiring problems and/or changes may I run into.
2. What are all the grille options available for this conversion?
3. Would anyone happen to know a good place to find the front clip, lights and all?

Any info would be appreciated as soon as possible because my car is at the body shop wth the front end off awaiting the conversion. E-mail any replies to MAJohnson27@aol.com because have problems getting on the org from my computer sometimes. Thanks.

 

Hello, -old thread? but I still have questions.-

I have a Maxima 1995 and I want to buy an old infiniti with low milage for very little money; let's say 1997 (wish me luck)

then because I don't like the old infiniti's front end and I like the 1995 Maxima's front end a lot I want to take my Maxima's
hood (is this the same?)
grill
head lights
fenders
bumper and fog lights
and put them on the Infiniti.

The question is for those that have done this kind of work. is this difficult to do? do all the nuts and screws match? I think that they have the same engine/air filter/ tranny/suspension, etc lol

If I could I would buy another Maxima with low mileage but infinities have better interior and there is a good opportunity around my neighborhood.

Any Help will be very much appreciated...
