well i was told to just make sure mine was CAPPA certified...they said it was however where the turnsignals are there is about a 1/4 inch gap inbetween the turn signal and driving light and it looked nasty so i took back the bumper and went with used OEM...i would def pay extra for the OEM just because the peace of mind that it will fit and line up exactly...look for a refurbished nissan one definately.

i would actually recommend going to a few body shop around you and see what they could get you one for (a body shop that does a lot of business gets the hookup on used and aftermarket parts b/c they order so many)...they also have good connections to higer quality aftermarket products...go to a few and see what they could get you one for...thats what i did

well its a bich, because some of the bumpers are not made the same, but they fit pretty good. just make sure you have someone to help you hold up it while u install it.

it was a bich for me to put on my rear bumper, but hey it wasnt all that bad
