anyone know where i can get a 95-99 model front bumper?

 

Best bet would be a junkyard, otherwise you can get it new through everythinginfiniti.com

Try www.car-part.com

 

I was about to order a new front bumper assembly from that link, but it never asked me what color bumper. Dumb newbie to body work here, but I thought the bumpers were molded out of plastic of the color that matches the car? Do you have to have it painted after it arrives?

If I can get a new front bumper for $300, I'd do it, so long as I don't have to get it painted.

 

New bumpers, especialy OEM ones don't come painted. You need to find a body shop that will paint unless you decide to paint yourself. If this is a Maxima bumper you may be able to buy a painted bumper off ebay or something, but any reputable body shops will try to match or blend the color with surrounding parts. Your I30 (I'm just assuming yours is I30 and not Maxima) is 9 years old. If you really want to have a new bumper that matches the color with the rest of your car, I suggest bringing your car to a body shop.

 

Thanks! There's not much use in continuing to pour money into this particular car, so I'll just live with it the way it is until the maintenance costs dictate it's time to buy a new one.

 

If you can wait about a month, I'll have one for you. It's off a 96, and it's white. It's in perfect condition.
