I've seen that body kit on a Wings West model car from the website...I think I saw it under Spoilers, then under Maxima and 89-94 style wings/spoilers they have....one of the model cars has that body kit on it. I looked under the Body Kit section though, and I didn't see one for sale, so maybe they don't manufacture it anymore?

It would look much better if it had bigger wheels, wasn't lowered so much and if it had the middle slats cut out on it. The WW kit looks good but only when its done right. It looks okay but what the hell...did that guy get 14" wheels??? I have Sus. tech. springs and it is not THAT low.

You are correct, for those who could read, notice how he says, "wings west"

cost of kit = $500
cost for paint = $200-300
cost for suspension = ~$300
look on your face when your fiberglass lip dances with the concrete

Guys, on that one person's cardomain site, it says he has ST springs. Does anyone else believe this? I'm thinking its dropped much lower than 1.5". It just doesn't look quite the same as mine with ST's.

That's what I meant. ...maybe he's cut them or maybe it just looks like that because his wheels are little. ??

I gave you the price on the kit already. Springs are going to be $180 shipped, and I don't sell wheels but I know from experience that they will be the majority of your expense. If you want 17s you're looking at $600 in tires (with labor and all the other stuff) and probably around $800 for a nice set of rims. I would check eBay for the rims, though. Falken has nice ZR17 tires at a good price and you could get them on your rims with warranty for around $600 like I said. I have 17X8s which is probably wider than you need. Look into getting some 2000 SE rims off of eBay, I think that would look great!

BTW: most shops will charge between $150-$200 for spring install I think...

Fikse Fm5's are my current favorite. Hehe, good luck buying some of those! Fikse I think they are around $400-$600 a piece! At least you get high quality.

BTW do you guys think that one Maxima, that this post is about, would sit a little higher with maybe 17" wheels and tires that don't have to small of a sidewall? I'm thinking it would be nearly an inch higher.

just buy some used rims and tires on ebay, together...if you buy them seperate they will be really expensive...but you can usually find nice rims and tires with good tread for about 600
