BEFORE:






AFTER:

 

Sorry for the random picture sizes...Idk why that happened.

I plan to completely shave the new trunk lid, throw my reverse camera in the keyhole, and DTM the tails.

 

Random old highway picture:

 

For some reason, 95/96 trunk and clear lights look better. Plus much more of a rare look then the 97-99 style.

Plan on getting the rest of the kit?

 

I strongly agree with Shift_Max.

 

I think The 95-96 tails look great too, but they make the whole car look older....the quality of the 97-99 tails give the rear a "newer" look compared to the 95-96 housings...plus I scored the full swap for about $50 so I'm trying it out for awhile. I'm planning on DTM'ing my tails or clearing them home depot style.

Moreover, I don't care about having a "rare" look to my maxima. In the while state of Kentucky it's "rare" to see a modified maxima, period. Lol

I'm torn between the spoiler/no spoiler.

 

Looks damn good.. and no spoiler is the way to go

 

Haha Thank ya sir, I am liking it. Now I tell people I drive a '99 instead of a '96.....

 

Yea, im doing the keyhole camera also

 

Btw what kinda exhaust/ muffler is that? I like how it fills the opening up. How big is the tip>? no homo

 

Okay----So I stopped by home depot on the way home from work and picked up a sheet of plastic lighting cover and a razor blade and went to town....red/clears FTW, keep in mind I only did the outers for now. I'll most likely open them all back up, DTM them and keep the clear sheeting inside the housings with them.

 

Haha. It's a Greddy SP2 catback. It was expensive but definately the best catbacks for our cars IMHO. No idea how big the tip is, I've never measured but I'd guess 4"

 

+1 wayyyyy better! no spoiler FTW

lol, you dont wanna claim the 99 and all its problems! stick with 97! its still 1 year newer! and that way if they know maximas they wont ask about all the differences lol

 

Here is a 97-99 Red/Clear Taillight/Trunklid set-up compared to a 95-96 style set-up:



For all the NOOBS that don't know or can't tell the difference between the 2 haha!

 

With a '97-'99 trunk, keep the spoiler off. It's a much cleaner look.

 

Thanks for the tip

 

are u selling the 95-96 trunk or the red and clears ? interested

 

PM sent.

 

Keep it spoilerless...

 

Did you keep you 95 bumper? I know theres tons of info about swaps but since search doesn't work right now its hard to find.

I'm selling a trunk to a member and he's worried the 97 trunk won't work with the 95 bumper.

 

The Bumper has nothing to do with the trunk swap. You can run either abd be fine. Right now I'm running a 99 trunk with a 96 bumper, looks great!

I did have some initial problems lining the trunk up to latch, I ended up swapping my old latch to the new trunk...I dont think this was necessary but yeah.

My whole set up is a 1996 maxima with 97-99 front grille and bumper, cefiros. And 97-99 trunk with 95-96 rear bumper.

 

looking good bro. nice

 

Im trying to do the same to my 96 because i bought custom tail lights but they only fit the 97 trunk lid. If anyone is selling a 97-99 trunk lid on here please let contact me.

 

2011 was a good year.

You can post a WTB in the 4th gen classifieds.

 

it may be better to get proper lights for your car if you don't want to spend more $$$$$
