The parts listed at carparts.com and others are wrong. Often they are for
the L series or H20. They will not fit your car. $500 would be great
except you can't get the parts new from Nissan anymore, so you are forced
to pay whatever the seller asks or go without. Generally only the vendors
have spare sets and they want a lot for them, laws of supply and demand and
the like.
