Thanks. I got it repainted last spring. The original paint had faded.

I also had the lower radiator support replaced at the same time with an OEM piece.

I took another trip to the junkyard to pick up a clean set of 97-99 fog lights as a spare for the Maxima. The junked car also had a Stillen front strut bar.

I found a brand new set of SE-L floor mats for the Maxima.

My reaction was the same. I was just looking for a used pair (front driver/passenger) since my car came with the standard Maxima carpet mats.

As I was searching, I found someone selling a full set brand new.

Got any tips on searching for old parts like these?

I try to check the local salvage yards inventory at least once a week, and if I’m looking for an item that I know the salvage yard will most likely not have, I’ll just do a quick google search on that part and see what comes up.

Thats what I did for the Infiniti car cover and the SE-L floor mats. So I was just lucky with timing on those items.
