What, non-functional tow-hooks? If you pull on one, does a bucket of confetti explode out of your front grill?

And people stop being a bunch of little girls, it works for him and thats what he wants. Just because it doesn't agree with your "rules" and doesn't work for you doesn't mean you have to hate like a bunch of fat girls.

Looks good. A bit agreesive, i'm sure alot of rubbing when making turn's. But you know what sometimes you gotta take chances and have shi* happen to get proper stance. Fix that driver headlight please it's killing it. Do smoked bumper light's also and you will be set. Look's sick though espeically on a maxima bro

I don't see any hating going on in this thread. Lots of opinions both good and bad, but from what I've read everyone has been respectful and not resorted to name-calling or flaming. That's the ideal way for things to work in a thread like this.

OP, I know I said it before but those headlights really should go in favor of an OEM set. The new pictures you put up show how horrible the fitment is on the eBay halo crap. It ruins the front end of the car. It would look so much better with a set of OEM headlights in there.

Pretty, pretty, pretty please fix those damn headlights. Other than that, it's looking really really good. Stop spending any money on anything until you fix the headlights I really can't get over it, looks like you were in an accident.

And on top of that, one has amber and the other doesnt?

While the ebay halos aren't (IMO) the best fitting headlights, they certainly fit better than that (I'm using the same lights in my temporary setup *check album* and they don't fit like that)

perhaps the OP needs to get his front bumper and/or fender reset.

Other than the headlights, I think the car looks good

I think the headlights are fine, it must be a aftermarket bumper with poor fitment.

I bet in person you wouldnt even notice it, its just the pics seem to point it out more.

I agree as in, I think it's most likely the bumper/fender and not the headlights. But I definitely think one would still notice it in person; albeit perhaps not as much.

The OP did well w/ the other aspects of the car no doubt.

I agree with this based on the pics, and the OP said he has bumper fitment issues possibly?

I dunno, but it seems very strange that one side is out THAT much farther than the other.

I just looks horrific, my eyes are getting literally dragged away from the rims toward the jacked headlight.

u guys r killing me ive posted that i swaped my 03 bumper with the 01 bumper for the lip i wanted...i think thats y the fitment is thrown off....otherwise that i got into a front end collision and totalled the car they gave me 7500 g's an i bought back the car and fixed it myself and passed inspection....i aint goin to lie i think the fitment is of cuz i re-did the body work.....the car was totalled cuz the value to fix it(11,000) exceeded the value of the car(7,400)....for me to fix it and pass inspection 4 less than a g,,i big up myself

if u guys didnt know the 01 bumpers and the 03 bumpers r differ(headlight housings)....n so r the haedlights....thats y i also might think i got the fitment issue

Good for you doing it yourself. This explains why it looks like you got into an accident like I said before.... because you did

Fix er up man, I like where your head is at for the most part on the mods.
And very original thinking. But get that fixed bro so we can all appreciate what could be a true stunner.

As I said above, original. Some may say backwards though, as most guys swap for the 5.5 front end obviously.
Although I see where he's coming from, I like the 5th gen front lip as well, and his car would look sick if not for the headlights/fitment issues.

Maybe I am biased on the front end though

That's the same lip you have boss, my car is an '01. I swapped in the 5.5 lights and put a 5.5 grill into the '01 bumper.

I did this mainly because I like the lip, like you. I also like the bumper lines.

I just want to see that car shine man, sorry to hate, but it's SOOO close to being a beauty, all you have to do is fix the fitment and it's on my fav 5th list. Think of it as negative reinforcemen
