Hey all. I just got the M-bumper from redlinemax.com. I was taking it to a body shop to get it painted and my roommate suggested that I get them to install it also. =/ Should I do that or save myself some money and do it myself?

Thanks - The Chad

 

since its fiberglass, i would have it professionally installed, unless you really know what your doing

 

from expierence i vote shop. unless like blackmax said you KNOW what your doing

 

Theres no way in the hell the M Bumper is a direct fit... trust me... Take it to a shop.

 

go to shop so you dont screw it up and have to buy another.....

 

my friend thought he could put a kit on...until he hit a pot hole on the highway kit shattered to pieces and ripped right off. it wasnt even fitted properly. btw urethane is the way to go

 

Yea but the M-bumper only comes in fiberglass. I wish it were urethane. Looks like shop is the way to go. Thanks guys.

Thanks - The Chad

 

Not only cuz its in fiberglass... the M Bumper is notorious for bad fitment

 

it is a bad fit from what I here. also dont you have to do something for turn signals in front?

 

the M bumper fits for 95-96 maximas...i read that somewhere...but they have to be modified to fit 97-99...in your case, it shouldn't be that difficult if you know what you are doing but i would recommend a body shop putting it on.

 

the one they are selling is for 95-96 with no need to change the grill

it will fit 97-99 fine, but you will need to have a 95-96 grill and the m-fenders to fit like a glove.

 

they dont fit cause we odnt have ///Ms

 

I've heard there are fitment issues no matter what year you have, done the have to cut into the side fender to get it to fit.

I would imaging that it either wouldnt fit all maxs or would because first thing you would do when your going to put the M Bumper on it take off the stock bumper, if 95 oe 97 bumpers fit easy on any year then, there is no way the M could fit the 95 better than the 97s.

 

hmm...well according to this pic it takes a 97-99 grill.



I really didn't notice the issue with the little wavy things on the side. They are going to have to over lap the stock fender. Maybe your right maybe the m fenders fit with the m bumper. Makes sense.

 

Good luck trying to fit that thing perfectly on the max. I remember when Jason (big sadler) bought and tried to install it. After a year, he spent something like a grand trying to fit it just right.

Oh yeah and BTW take it to a shop.
