I know there are a few guys parting out Max but I cant seem to remember who they are, so hopefully those
guys are listening. I'm looking for the left front fender, front bumper skin, left headlight assembly and maybe the
hood. (I might be able to save the hood) I'll try to post pics of the accident tomorrow, later

Luckily the kit was un-touch

Yeah I kinda know what you're talking about when dealing with getting parts. I keep hearing/reading post of guys parting out car so now I'm hoping to get in-touch with them. Anyway I'll probably bit the bullet and get new aftermarket body parts. Tell you what maybe you can give me a couple phone numbers of salvage yards in your part of town (SJ/SV) There's a few in the EB but only one that has a 3rd gen I'll give them a call on Tues. You're right, this shiiit suck but it happens can't let it get me down or stop me. Later
By the way, did you get the trunk latch you were looking for?

hahaha... good luck with the people parting their maxes... i have sent email to everyone and NOONE has responded. Justin (woh seems to have misteriously dissapeared) and that zeefor speed dude, and that geoffe dude also never responded. So i think im gonna bite the bullet too and just oreder from a dealer, i htink ill do courtesy, cause we get that 20% off. Hmmm, i dont really know of any junk yards around here, except for the pick and pull in san jo which i went to to find a trunk latch, but they didnt even have any 3rd gens, it was all old crap, like 80's and 70's. Hmm.. im starting to think these junkyards are a rip off anyways, i called one in like sacremento, they quoted me 50 bucks for the latch, when i can get it through a dealer for 35 w/o discount. with it i can get it for like 26 so its not worth the junkyard i dont think. I can still check if youd like though.

BTW, got my sub hooked up, sounds GREAT!!! im so happy, everything worked great, hows yours going?

Maxima parts

As one who has done rebuilders for several years and rebuilt my 93 several times, it can be a pain in the ***. Their are aftermarket parts through Certifit, any junkyard/body shop should be able to price them for you. If you have a dent in the hood it may be fixable but a new one cost me 150. If you have any trouble call and talk to my friends at Riteaway 1-800-527-4895 Its a wrecking yard that is in mid Minnesota, that specializes in import cars. I know they have your parts in stock as they have helped me out on many occasions while doing prototyping y-pipes and other stuff for WarpSpeed.Personally I think you will probably have better luck using new parts, body shops like them and they are cheaper(usually) to paint. Hope this helps. Dan

Check this out

There is a '94 SE at a Junkyard in Chicago (Bionic Auto Parts) that has the parts you need. I saw the car and the body parts that you would need are in very good shape. Hit me up on Email and I'll get you the number.
