This is the story of my 2008 Maxima conversion using an Elite Package from a 04-06 Maxima. Hopefully this will help some of you. As you may know the Elite option was offered from 2004-2006 (6thgen) and some 2007-2008 (6.5gen) Maxima’s. Not too many 2007-2008 Maxima’s were ordered and build with Elite package. I have physically only seen two 07-08 Elite package Maxima’s.

You can pickup a used Elite Package anywhere between $150-450. All depends on who you get it from. Also, the “Peanut Butter” edition will go for slightly more.
