UnMaTcHeD's 2005 Maxima

You have got to be kidding me. I thought the fact that I need to take of the front bumper in order to change the headlight, fog light and or turn signal bulbs is asinine on Nissan's part...accessing those things should definitely not be that hard.

When my buddy totalled it, it got a lot easier to access

dont worry, we have to do that too my bumper removal record is 2min 30secs

can you take off the stock intake thingy on the radiator support or does it have to be there? if its possible to take it off, that would clean things up a bit

Duh to me, I never thought of that. You may have something there, I will have to take a look at it tomorrow and see.
Thanks for the suggestion.

it takes you that long? haha, damn.

about cars having all those plastic covers in the engine. yea, they look nice i would say, but to tuners and people like us, theyre pointless and just obstructions. honestly, if i ever get a car that has them, my first mod will be removal of them, haha.

I agree. Yours looks like it might not be too bad to remove altogether. The stratus, on the otherhand, was welded sheet metal if I remember correctly. I'll have to look at my co-workers tomorrow. If it is that easy, I give Nissan's props for atleast making it easy.

Oh, and I don't have to remove my bumper to change my headlight bulbs. Maybe its just me though

if you didnt, then your bulb bearings are going to be worn out for sure.



we dont have to take it off for headlight bulbs, but turn signals and fog lights (i think) we do...thats what i meant but didnt say
