Body Kits these days...a few options for teh 4th gen...which I'll hopefully be gettin within the next 2 months. What do you like best?

 

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.

 

I like the way the Sarona kit looks, but the Stillen kit will probably survive the longest.

 

Full Stillen Kit

or Stillen Front lip w/Ionic Dynamics Sides and Two-Piece Rear-I have this combo......

or Full Ionic Dynamics Kit
Sarona, Stillen and Ionic Dynamics IMHO are trhe best looking kits any combo of these will be nice but Sarona's quality

 

I agree!

 

quick question guys, i would like to get a stillen front lip, stillen rear valence, and sarona sideskirts, what ya guys think

tino

 

Yep - Stillen lip with Ionic sides and back looks sweeeet!

Stillen

 

hmm, i was thinkin....

-stillen front lip
-sarona rear valance (sp?)
-Ionic skirts

I agree 150%

 

skyline kit all the way!

 

skyline kit all the way!

 

Double post all the way!

 

m bumper is hot IMO, better looking than stillen or skyline

 

i dont have a kit yet but when i see pictures of the skyline and sarona kit it looks the shizznit, but from some views it looks hella ugly. but most of the time the shizznits. but i think im geting the stillen

 

Stillen lip, Ionic sides and rear...check homepage for pics....

 

M-bumper,skyline sides and rear bumper.

 

m bumper, ionic sides and rear

 

i hate to ***** up the thread but i just wanna know ur opinions about skirts without lowering the max. any pics?

 

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

 

WHOA - soul fly lives!

 

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.

 

Anyone have the M Bumper? Pics?

 

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.

 

HEY takentomax, is your front bumper stock, or is there something on it? Looks sweet man!

 

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.

 

Thats the M-bumper.



But....Sadler had very troublesome fitment issues. It was almost $1g total for paint and labor to make it fit.

I wouldnt get one.

 

God Sadlers car looks soo sweet. 1g for the bumper? sheiiit that sucks. How much are we talkin for what soul fly wants?? Just parts.. no paint.

 

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.........

 

i never heard of the m bumper fitment issues... and they look so hot

 

Only the best that stillen can provide.

 

Ask Sadler....

 

i didnt say they didnt exist, just i hadn't heard of them

 

lol.....

 

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

 

foetray, buddy

 

Sup' man.

 

so thats the combo you have? not bad
