Does anyone have any good ideas, possibly with pics or something they did on paint as to how we can update the look of your rides from the front end.

Buy the Stillen front lip. Good luck getting them to just let you buy the front lip and not the whole kit though.

Don't worry, when I first bought the car I wondered the same thing.

Yeah, but how long have you had your car. Do not debate the stupidity of my question. You will loose.

wow that works! we tried that on an accord and it was so dim when they flashed. could you post the diagram again!!!!! That would be sweet if i could run the front turn signals like parking lights! I look at that thing when i have the 4 ways on and think "damn they'd look good, if only they'd stay on!"

Ok here it is. I hold no responsibility to the effect this diagram may have on you or your car.

http://www.csupomona.edu/~kkheng/maxima/

THere is a animated gif of what it looks like at night when it's blinking. I don't have a still shot of it though but the bumper light will turn on with the parking lights and stay on until you signal.

You'll need 2 relays on each side. the resistor was so it wouldn't hyperblink at night
