anyone have a custom bodykit?

as far as I know the only make 2 sets of ground effects for our 3rd gens. are there any full body kits that are make for the 3rd gen max? if not then has anyone made a custom bodykit? I was thinking about finding a car with similar width as our max and and fiberglass it so that it will fit my max.
what do you think about doing something like that.

they make more than 2 kits but none are full bumper replacement kits. Euribuni (sp), Stillen, kaminari, Wings West and maybe one or two more I am forgetting.

There have been a couple of people that have made custom kits but I have not seen one I like.

I think most people use the accord (not sure what year) for a beginning point. Obviously this will not be a direct bolt on but something you will have to work with like you say.

If you want a nice kit that accents the body lines of the 3rd gen then I think the Stillen is it. It is the clasiest one to me...that my opinoin obviously. I like the WW too but wish they didnt have all the little fake vents (thats what messes it up for me).

if you go custom just dont go too ricey and look like all the Hondas out there.

The accords will be from 1990-1993 IIRC There's also a max on cardomain with a Mustang's kit.

I agree. I actually like the back on the WW alot. The sides are okay. Now the front is just absolutely hideously dated imo. Even if those fake little vents were smooth I still find it hideous.

After some thinking about it, I've decided on the Style 111 from Erebuni. Just getting mine from Custom Enterprise (Sarona Design)

In truth, there's only 4 designs for our car, not including the accord mod. It's just that different companies make them.

Here's one that I've found. Not sure what kit it is, but it looks decent to me? Just my $.02

I think that if i did the WW kit, I would shave the vents, either fill them in or sand them off(combination of both methods probably).

Or get the WW rear with the stillen front and sides.

Man, I don't think I'd ever let those guys touch my car. Knowing my luck they'd stuff thousands of dollars of stereo equipment in my car that I wouldn't want.

well I do like the show. I think that they go really cheap on the cars. they will put thousands of dollars into the stero but they only add some oil to the engine and they dont even paint the inside of the doors. thats cheap man, I would just buy another car and put all the stero equipment and stuff in that one.

anyways back on the topic. I just want something that looks different. I think that a car looks awesome when it has a good body kit on it and its lowerd and some rims.

I think that the ground effects just make it look lower. I dont think that they do much to change the look of the car. I want my car to stand out (in a good way). I like to be able to say that its truly a one of a kind car and that I did it.

Woooo, watta jerk. You won't be around here soon, making a big deal outta a little thing. BTW, purge valves are badass.

Body kits kits are gay anyway.

hrmm, my dad was telling me to see if wingswest made a bodykit for our maxima, I was looking and couldn't find it, but you guys are saying they do? does anyone have the link for it? Only reason i'm interested in that name brand is because i might get a sweet discount on it

They quit making it. Sorry to burst your bubble. You can check with www.nopionline.com and see if they still have one in stock... but I think they get it directly from WW.
