What aftermarket bumpers are available for the 2007 maxima?
I just got in a accident yesterday and instead of spending money to make my front bumper look the way it used to-I'd rather spend money and make it look better. How much do they normally cost? And to paint?
it's not bad at all, its just an inward front right corner on the bumper instead of outward. Maybe I can get it hammered out but the paint will need some work.
I just figured if I had to pay a few hundred bucks on repairs I might as well get something I like better.

The one Jsmith has is the GTR. He used to have the Concept like I have. Both only available for the 04-06. You could make a kit work for your car with a little work. If you are going to try that, then I would suggest the GTR kit, it is made of better quality material. The concept bumper is fiberglass and breaks easy. The GTR bumper is Duraflex, which can bend and what not without breaking. Unless you want to end up buying a new bumper like I will have to do soon then steer away from the Concept bumper, unless of course you find one made of duraflex.

Talk to Greymax. He has an 07 with a Concept bumper.
its graymax with an a. took some bodywork,money and time but bumper came out great, had to shave entire front bottom as to not scrap and i had to learn to drive slow over bumps. i am thinking and doodling coming up with ideas with the gtr bumper so when i finally come up with what i have in mind i will get a gtr bumper even if edgar hasnt made one for 07's. and am still waiting on word for an 07 c/f hood. if not , plans on oem hood is in the drawing stages.

What are your thoughts on the OEM hood? Scoops or openings?
just baked to open,painted,warmed up to seal em,reinstalled, with home depot plastic pieces inserted where the orangs pieces went on the sides. great write up on this somewhere in the org. headlights are 07's. couple of grand to do front,skirts,rear, all requiring filling,filing,alot of man hours to smooth out and fitment, custom exhaust openings and fog openings and the custom grill work then the shaving in front then the painting. took awhile but since i was out of town no biggy. i got my monies worth and would do it again
i am thinking a 1 - 1 1/2 high cowl as soon as i find a shop that will do it. i am trying to figure out how to make a whole front fan shroud that would cover the entire area from grill to back of radiator.
Lots of mods
