Hey everyone! This is my first time in here since I just got my J30 about 1 week ago. It's got about 93k on it and runs great! Love the RWD.

Does anyone know where I can find a replacement park lamp lens for my 95 J30. It's the "clear corner" part that is located right next to the headlamp. I have looked all over the net and found nothing. I checked with my local dealer and it runs about $70...Any info would be much appreciated. :help

Search NICO first! If it's about Infiniti, and it isn't here, it's probably not worth knowing or not true.

Welcome to the board.

Thanks for the advise guys. I just found it on ebay. Funny thing is, I was looking on Ebay all morning, and it just appeared now after I read your post. It's a seven day listing with six days, and twenty three hours left....

Did you guys happen to notice that I am currently the top bidder on 3 of his items; the gold grille, and both park lamps. I hope it works out. The gold grille he's selling would look good with my car's "champaigne" color. The hard part is having to wait 7 days, but that's what comes with the Ebay game.

Vandalism Sucks! My brother came out to the street where he had his 65 Malibu parked and found the antenna broken off and lying on the floor. Oh yeah, the guys also used the antenna to scratch up the paint on his quarterpanels. I hate punks like that.

well, i found a place in FL called luxparts that will get me a hood, incl. shipping for 400. (ok price, but id like to see what else i can find)

i am going to get some small parts from this ebay seller, and then if that transaction runs smoothly, ill see if they have a hood from one of those 2 black j30s they have.

Eswift,

I was thinking about that hood too b/c of numerous small dents in my black hood, but I recall your misfortune, so I will defer to you if I see your name on such an auction.

What is your ebay ID - mine is sak791571024

I really would appreciate that, but we both will have to see what is available. based on the parts they have had available so far, i bet at least one of the hoods is destroyed. (only one headlight offered, from 2 cars)

my ebay ID is erock_IL

You gotta be kidding me! More vandalism? When does a garage start sounding like a cost effective idea?

With these cars, you get into a whole different head space when it comes to their care. That is an aluminum hood. Precious.

They don't make these beauties anymore. Remember that.

one cant really find a single locked garage available in a ghetto college town.

communal semi-secured parking is no better, i have had that also.

nothing is really safe in an area where 70% of the population gets blown out of their minds at least 4 nights a week.

it makes it hard when all parking spaces are leased for 12 months also, as these binding contracts cannot be broken.

if I had any remote possibility of securing some safe locked parking, you should rest assured that I would have already have the car there.

i could store it out in the country, but there would be a much greater risk of it being lit on fire.

it has been very maddening and depressing to me, but my only option is to restore it in a few years when I have finished with my studies.

at least I wasnt one of the owners this weekend who had grills and kegs dropped on their hoods or winshields.

that in fact happens so often, it is unreal.

and disgusting.

senior year at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

probably will end up at grad school here too...

i was looking into a daily driver, but insurance for a 21 year old is prohibitive of that concept.
