so i needed a new trunk i found some guy about an hour away from me that sells it for a 100 bucks and its the same color 2! what do you guys think would it fit?

 

i just dont wana make the trip there. and plus i mean it should right? all 4 gens pretty much the same

 

Sure, it will fit. But your tailights will no longer fit right. You'll have to upgrade to the 97-99 tails...

 

u wont have any problem fiitting the trunk, but the 95 trunk tail lights r totally different u will get the look of a 95-96 maxima instead of a 97-99 so ur best option would be if u have a 98 maxima, get a 97-99 maxima trunk and 97-99 maxima trunks look a hell of a lot beter as well.

 

he will have to down grade to 95-96 tails, not upgrade...,he will have a 95-96 trunk so he will need those years tails

 

Your sorta right. He has a '98 and is getting a trunk from a '95. He would actually have to downgrade to the '95-'96 tails, then it would be fine.

 

can i just put on the tail lights from my 98 maxima on to the 95 maxima trunk all my tail lights are intacts just a huuuge dent in the trunk ( got hit by a truck)

 

Maybe im reading this wrong, but it seems to me that he is switching his trunk from 98 to 95, therefore he would need to switch and get the 95-96 tails to replace his 97-99 tails

 

enik23, you do realize there's a difference in styling/appearance between the 95/96's and the 97-99 trunks, right?

 

Yeah, I read it again. You're right. He'll need some 95-96 tails instead.

 

Not w/o serious modification.

 

i was not aware =0

 

The 95-96 trunk has a slight "wave" indention between the tails. Kind of hard to describe. Personally, I like the styling of the 97-99 trunk better.

 

phone actin up, diddnt realize it was already said

 

there has been only 1 person i can think of who installed 97-99 tails on a 95-96 trunk. he cut the tails and the trunk i believe. i think he was from canada, had a green 96 with 97-99 led altezzas. it looked ok.

if the new trunk had the lights you wouldn't need to change them, just the lights would look silly because the brake and the turn signal lights were switched. as far as i'm aware you can still use the outer lights with a newer or older trunk but not the inners.

 

disagree.....

 

disagree?? can u tell me wat u disagree on? and if it was asked the majority would prefer 97-99 maxima trunk, but u could have ur own opinion,,

 

and enik23 u will also need the 97-99 maxima tail lights harness as well, the back part of the 95-96 taillights are different than 97-99 tail lights. the harness of a 95-96 cannot be used for a 97-99,

 

wait, i got the 97-99 trunk laying in my backyard...to use the 97-99 tails i need to rewire my rear lights?

 

no u dont have to rewire anything all u need to get is the 97-99 harness for the taillights. the harness that comes with a 95-96 is different than the harness used on a 97-99 tallight.
