ok ,

I love the 5th Gen Front & and hate the rear
I love the 4th Gen rear & would rather have the 5th Gen front
Love my 4th gen interior and hate the 5th gen interior


Has it been done? is it posible/ that hard to convert?

Think about it, 5th gen front and 4th gen rear, that would be sick....
Seriouly thinking about this

 

I've never seen it, and I'm glad I haven't. But whatever floats your boat

 

Front looks too big for the car, it's been done. It's not about what we think.

 

that would def be different lets see if someone can photoshop a diagonal view

 

IMO

But you never know till you see I suppose, when you do it, make a write up.

 

someone on here has done it.... forgot what ever happened thou...

I remember someone on here about 2 months ago posed about a 5th gen nose on a 4th gen. It looked kinda odd cause the 5th gen is wider than the 4th gen but it wasn't a horrible look. Ill try and dig it up.

 

no new news on this I would like to see what it looks like just outta curiosity

 

Someone who is a member here search it...I remember it clearly. I just do not remember the thread title. It was less than 3 months ago tho.

 

I searched and cannot find it.

 

I too have seen it, and it looked really odd. It was here somewhere...but that was a while back. Take our word for it that it doesn not blend well in the 4th gen body.

 

I still want to see a picture of it.

 

I don't remember that thread, but this guy did put 5th gen headlights on his 4th gen:

That was the conversion that I was talking about....^^^

 

i saw that when he posted it, i like, but just the light though, not the whole front end.... i would want to see the headlight on the car in a finished pic

 

there were two guys that i know that have done the full front end conversions on their 4th gens. One of the was not done when i saw the pic and the other one was fully finished. Didn't go very well IMO since the lines and curves of the 5th gen are very different from the 4th gen.

But i like the 5th gen headlights on the 4th gen as in the above pic, but thats not a 4th gen, just the 4th gen front end with the 5th gen headlights.

 

Consider an i30 front end conversion...most parts from eBay
Fenders ~250
Bumper ~150
Hood ~300
Cefiro headlights w/ H4 HID p&p kit ~350
Foglights ~150
Paint ~700
Grille ~100

 

I actually prefer the front end of the 4th gen maximas to the i30

The i30 rear looks kind of nice though.

 

i was curious about this idea, so I did a little photochop. Pretty basic but it looks ok to me.

 

Fenders wouldn't match up but that looks nice.

 

It looks alittle heavy on the front. Doesn't flow that well to me.

 

IMO the front of the 4th gen>5th gen.

i think it would be a waste of time and money. i think on the 4th gen (there was a thread earlier) the 97-99 bumper with the modified 95-96 grill looked hot

 

Here is the link to the 95-96 grill with 97 front bumpers...

I think if you had the money... the Ceifro front in like this one would look hella tight with a bigg intercooler going thru it

for some reason that looks a lot like an audi now.

 

Wow I want to do an Infinity front on my Max

 

Looks decent but I think the scale is off a hair. The rear fenders would have to be flaired for it to flow IMO. I would do some sort of Cefiro front-end before the 5th-5.5. Cool photoshop though.
