Well my question might be confusing, but you guys know how the qx4 has the body panels on the lower part of the doors, and the addon over fender parts? Would those fit on the pathfinder? I mean its the same car with a different front end, and love those pieces, I think they add width to the car, and make it look a little bigger and classier for some reason to me?

anything is possible, it is the same chassis and interior. But as anything its not as easy as it seems. for example the bumpers are completely different, the qx4's have different sidesteps, the fenders just dont look good without the proper bumpers and side steps. The front end...is a nightmare for this kind of conversion, youll need qx4 headlights which certainly arent cheap and the pathfinder headlights will not fit an unmodified qx4 fender, then when you change those, youll have to change the grille and front bumper....

many of us 97-00 qx4 owners have contemplated switching out the front end for the 01+ and that alone is $$$$ to the point where your better off to just trade in for an 01+.

Yea I figured that much, I mean I def wouldnt go all out. I would probs try the fender extenders(i think their called that), and the door panels first. Hmm I have stuff to think about, i figure the fender things, and the panels are easy.
