I was looking at the custommaxima website and they have the Sarona Body Kit with pics for 97's and up. Has anyone bought and fitted it for there 95 or 96? If so are there any fitment problems with it etc?

the bumpers are different on the 95-96 than 97-99; you will definitely have fitment changes.

 

Sarona has fitment issues on even the 97 and up bumpers most of the time. It will be a big pain to do this on your 95-96. First you will have to change the bumpers etc, then you will buy the kit and it will not fit right, so you will have to make the kit work by putting in extra labor hours etc. It really will turn into a big cash loss by the time your done.

I have the whole Sarona kit on my 96. NO fittment problems at all.. I dont know why everyone always says this, maybe I just got lucky. All you have to do is change the upper grille to a 97-99 grill.

 

Do you have any pics? Did you also change your headlights to 97 headlights?? Hey I see you are in VA and I am in Maryland. Maybe we could hook up so I could take a look at it or something.

 

The Sarona and type S are Bumper replacements, so Why would you have fitment issues? It would almost be like doing a 97-99 conversion! The only issue that i would think you would have is the grill wich wouldn't be expensive to get a grill from a 97-99

 

You know what I would love to meet up and you take a look..but my front bumper was ripped off by a lift ... so you can see the rear and sides?

 

Quality control issues.

Yes.

There is only ONE 4th gen Sarona kit.. it applies to 95-99 Maximas. What none of these vendors say up front is that the Sarona front bumper did not make enough clearance for the front impact beam. Therefore, you WILL need to either:
a. Remove your front impact bar
b. 'Modify' your front impact bar, cutting required.

..to make the Sarona bumper fit. Good luck

 

Because it seems like most people on here who had the kit ended up having to play around with it to get it fitted right and it was off even when new. It seems like originally they were good at making the kits and having no issues then all of a sudden like 97MaxGurl said , quality control started to slip.

Quality control was NEVER there. Buyers pay for kits at their own risk. It's a hit or miss (mostly miss) with Sarona. I'm thankful to have had the kept my kit for this long.

 

it really is too bad too because it is such a nice looking kit that if only quality was better would be something I would really like to get one day.
