The Stillen kit is kind of played out with the Maxima crowd but in all honesty, there's no better game in town. The other kits don't have the durability of the Stillen. Erubuni is plain ugly, very few arguments about that. Ionic Dynamics has grown on me but the front lip lacks any sort of imagination at all. Sarona looks good but the quality issues have plagued it since its introduction. Custommaxima's Skyline's kit has also grown on me but I've already seen a couple for sale that were cracked. Not saying it's not a quality kit but it doesn't seem to hold up on a daily driver IMO. If I was to buy a kit tommorrow, I would probably opt for the Stillen lip and Ionic sides and rear. Just my .02.

my opinion is...that it helps the look of the unlowered max. it makes it look a little sportier, and a little lower, even though its at stock height. by cutting out the space under the car, it just looks better

Urethane fronts are highly recomended for daily drivers(I don't know why I don't follow my own advice!), but you can combo those with fiberglass sides and rears. It just costs more sometimes to break up kits like that. Just make sure that whoever paints your glass uses plenty of flex agent in the paint because even though you can't bust the kit, certain twists and turns can crack the paint on the kit.

If I were you i would go with a stillen body kit. It's not the best looking one(not very flashy or eyecatching) but it's the most durable one. The other body kits that are out for the maxi are all fiberglass pieces of shyt. Polyurthane is the most durable against crub hitting or unreliable drivers that cheated through their driver's test.
All I am saying is that the stillen kit is the best one to go with. This one you won't have to spend alot of money on repairing if you were to get into a fender bender. Fiberglass has no purpose for being up front if the daily driver is prone to small fender benders. Polyurthane up front and fiberglass/urthane on the side and back of the car.

hmph, none of u have taste 
Stillen front lip, sarona sides, sarona rears. Its obvious sarona makes the best sides and rears (horrific fronts). Only dilemma is quality but front is what most people should be concerned of and thats why i pick stillen lip over sarona front bumper.

If I had the money, i'd go with full stillen. If I didnt drive my car hard every day in rough streets, i'd go with M bumper, stillen sides and rear (or sadler sides even). Although many 4th gens have the Stillen kit installed, its still the best looking kit IMO.

it seems that everyone likes the ionic sides? i thought they looked kind of wierd.never seen 'em in person though, i guess they look like the BMW side skirts right? I like how the sarona sides look, never heard anything about them being poor quality until now, but am planning on pairing them w/ my stillen lip.........
Ask Sadler....

Skyline front bumper - Very frail with major fitment issues
Sarona front bumper - Frail with minor fitment issues
Sarona sides - Fit like a dream
Sarona rear bumper - Minor fitment issues but looks ****ty if not molded to hide overlap on sides IMO
