It has been done. And the r-34 would look better if done right.
They make just about any kit for a honda...
We probubly would of went along if you said the kit, but when you said the Wing. No, not right.[/QUOTE]
Ok let me get this right you all talk bad about doing a customized bodykit but yet when you all went and looked at therealgoon9 and his front facial lift he is doing which isnt gonna look any more off then the front bumper im doing right here
you talk bad about it all and plus like i said you all know nothing till it has been completed ive seen a few of the max's done on here and to tell u the truth a few look like **** sorry to say it but the kits you all are using are not all that great of kits like you see therealgoon9 is even modifying his stillen front bumper which all of you all have paid an arm and a leg juz to buy that over priced bodykit from stillen when you all know that stillen doesnt even make any of there own stuff they sell. so how about once i get the kit on and done then ill take some pics and show you how it came out cuz trust me i will be molding the kit to the car since shavedmax said unless its molded on it wont look good at all plus im thinking of a totally different look then what most of you all are thinking my out come of the car will be far off from the typical maxima and how it is done. so for now lets juz drop it and leave it at that and once ive completed my kit and things and take some pics then we can talk about it once more fair enough?
this is the pic of the front bumper which hasnt got to be modified yet as the guy dat was modifying it for me ran out of time as he was working on his own air bagged suv chevy for a car show that was coming up.

umm OK its hard to read with your long run on sentences.
Here is the deal...a lot of people talk on here. Do the work and you will get a little respect...until then you are just another talker.
I didnt say I liked therealgoon's design on his front. I said it was interesting but the difference is that he is showing work he is doing on his car not just talking about it.
another thing is that he has a WW kit...I personally dont like it that much (tied with second favorite) because its kind of squared off instead of rounded and flowing with the natural lines of the 3rd gen.
The Stillen kit is the best looking factory kit for the 3rd gen IMO because it matches the body lines of the 3rd gen so well...not because its from Stillen. Thats my opinion and it will not change.
I didnt pay a fortune for either of my kits. I paid $400 shipped for both that I bought.
Again do what you like WHY DO YOU CARE WHAT WE THINK? I could care less what you think...you dont like the Stillen kit...fine by me. I love them on the 3rd gen.
Lets see some work and then you can build up some respect. Until then its just talk like all the other newbies.
dont take these posts as flames...I am one of the few that will actually talk good about ugly cars because I can appreciate the work that goes into them since I have done body work myself. I just need something to look at to appreciate...I cant appreciate talk. Heck you may make the best looking kit I have ever seen but until I see it all that is in my mind is a very ugly creation.
I am all for being different (but tasteful) as well and have done a few things (though not ratical) to make my cars different.
lastly the main thing (and I said it in my last post) that struck me about your sig and the reason I posted about it was the wing. Like I said all I ever see with the big wings are gaudy kits...or rice if you will.

alright excuse me. once i get my kit up here from where it is at. i will get it done and take pics as the kit is back in oklahoma city where i lived at before i moved up here and now i have to get my family to find a box big enough to fit the kit into and get it freighted up here as having the post office ship anything is a very stupid idea they break and damage everything and anything even if it is marked fragile and glass still gets broken

anything other than a stillen kit(maybe the erebuni kit if molded together, NOT to the car) looks horrible on a 3rd gen
^^^^that's what i said. i HATE molded kits. tim (therealgoon9)can tell you that because i tried very very hard to talk him out of doing it. the erebuni kit comes withthe front and rear i 3 pieces each, so that should be put together, molded into one piece to make it look better.
oh and i have that bumper for my 4th gen and it's sitting behind my shed because it looks way
and the quality sucks too. kept the stock front with a stillen lip, much classier.
dont get me wrong, im with mike, your car, your style, do your thing. but i feel that there should be a progression to customizing. drop it,rims, kit, paint.
i see too many hondas with hubcaps and kits, big wings etc that look like *** where if you spent the money on rims first then the car would look good until you out a kit on, then itll look good until you paint it. i rolled in primer long enough without a kit or rims to know that it looks ghetto. big kit plus stock heigt and wheels(even 4th gen 5 stars), imo

REMEMBER TARGA TOPS? i used to want one so bad back then

come on man I am just a backwoods hick how do you expect me to spell everything correctly 
. I refuse to use spell check 
Yeah I had some friends that had targa top trucks and one that had a hard top convertable...probably by the same company. That was way back in the late 80s early 90s.
oh and I am not following your progression. I will have a lowered, kitted, freshly painted max with stock wheels for a while. I wanted to work on the important stuff first on this car (drivetrain, suspension, power adders) and paint will only cost me materials so I have to save up for a while to buy wheels. I could have bought wheels first instead of the AL flywheel, Exedy clutch, UDP, suspension bushings etc etc but I would rather have all that stuff and ride on stock wheels for a while than have to go back into the car after I have done all the other stuff. I just figured while I had the motor and trans out it was the best time to do all that other stuff. I guess my focus has changed because the first thing I did on my old 93 was get wheels.

besides, you had to put a motor in that car, it wasnt like you said, "what should i tear appart first?" plus the stillen kit isnt from the fast and the furious online store, so it wont stick out like a sore thumb. (although im still not a fan of kits with stockers)

see how the shape of the Q is similar to the 3rd gen.
Besides going custom, the stillen kit is pretty much the only kit that flows well with the body of the car IMO.

besides the fact that a q kit price is much higher
