So, I have ordered the Shine Spec-A kit without the rear bumper add on. My rear bumper is toast and I want to get another and add a different lip on it.

Where is the best place to buy OEM body parts. So far I have contacted my local Nissian dealer and was promptly told tail lights alone where 720.00...

I politely said F U and now I am here.

i have checked slidegood.com and they don't have any rear bumpers right now for a 2004. I have also checked out nissianpartszone.com and looks to be ok prices. I've also checked ebay, but most of the ones on there are cracked or damaged. I need a good condition one, primered or painted AX6 red.

One other thing i had a question on was the brand name "Replace". Looks exactly like OEM but way cheaper. anyone tried that route?

Any thoughts on where to go?

worldparts express has great prices too

 

Thanks guys! So far looks like worldpartsexpress has the best prices.

 

btw worldpartsexpress is legit. ive ordered from them before.

 

so i have someone wanting to sell me a nice rear on ebay. 300 shipped. is it worth it to spend that cash plus whatever it takes to get it repainted AX6 (red)? Or should i pay 500-600 for a new one painted?

I'm thinking it would be cheaper just to buy a new one and get it painted. I don't know how much more prep work is in removing the old paint to get it ready for primer though.

Thoughts?

 

its usually cheaper for the shop to paint a fresh new unpainted bumper. less work. some shops will actually charge a bit extra labor for having to sand old paint off. id go new unless the used bumper was the same color

 

that's what i'm thinking... c-speed rear it is... and the plot thickens....
