I sure hope he uses that for drifting.

Is the maxima turning into a rice burner?

 

Depends on who's modding it, you can make it look lime a ricer or look good and classy, if that's possible.

 

I don't see anything wrong with it. I personally do not like wings--what a mistake to put them on SE's from what, 89-03? What a waste on Nissan's part, totally non-functional, all show and no go. This one is probably functional.

His car is no more rice than other Maximas where the tail lamps, headlamps, or markers have been modified.

Do I like it? No. Is it rice? No.

 

^ Actually, I don't see how its functional, as it would be pusing the rear end down, thus taking weight off the drive wheels, that is definatly a bad thing.

 

Are you actually saying aerodynamics differs for FWD vs. RWD? Well, you're the engineer, not me.

 

Are you talking about the orange in the tails?

 

Wasn't this posted before? Someone pointed out that those Hondas in the background are a bad influence!

 

Wow...that wing is soooo cool. I must have it..who makes it? No need for a picnic table anymore....

 

 

i dont think that wing and the stock wing can be compared, you can have a rear spoiler and it doesnt look flashy at all, just completes the car.

i hate those wings, might as well have a 6 inch trash can muffler to go with those aerodynamics.

 

is that really 10 - 12 Inches off the Back?

u should of brought a tape measure for the pic.

 

repost...

yeah that wing is hella high. Not my style personally

 

I agree that wing is really up there. It takes away from the aspect of the maxima. A 4-dr sedan that has *****.
That wing just doesn't look right...

 

aluminum wings are ridiculous for daily drivers. its like having an erector set on the back of your car. theres no function of a wing when you go tops city: 60mph and freeway: 80-90mph. well if you go faster than that or do some serious track racing i can see that, but to have maximum grip on the road the front end should be considerably lower than the rear to obtain that traction with those splitters or whatever. aluminum wings only belong to JGTC or some other racing circuits... when theres an actual NEED for maximum downforce at high speeds. look at the HKS Altezza: that things got some mad downforce and its desperately needed. thats my personal opinion. and i think its ridiculous. its like you wanna fly or somethin... its rice. not technically but in general. ricers are the epitome of the import scene. no offense but seriuosly, show some respect to the serious ones out there.

 

yea, the stock orange tails, all the stock badges, and the huge rear wing make that one sexy azz car.....

 

...I believe I can fly....
...I believe I can touch the sky...

lol, I'm sorry I couldn't help myself.

 

Lets go to New York and get him!...

Is that a Custommaxima.com decal in the back window right above the rear taillight???

 

hey can you guys stop makin fun of my car.i like that wing it really helps me go fast i swear i have dynos to prove it.

 

i think you got it wrong.. unless you mean it like those type r stickers on a stock car that gives you 50hp... but its function isnt power to the wheels when your not even moving.

 

one word: ugly!!!

 

Adding a "snow shovel" wing is one of the first steps in becoming a ricer. It's like their initiation.

 

Hey, there's nothing wrong with orange in your tails.

 

repost....i posted this a few days back in OT.

but i think it's a little too much for a max. you can clearly see from the background that these are ricey honduh boys that stole the max, put the wing on, and snapped a pic so members on the .org wouldn't make fun of them....now they'll post this pic on the honda forum and make fun of the max.

 

wow....my eyes hurt now.....

Maxima.org - De-ricing the ricers

 

He must like it and thats all that matters ..

 

rice is rice. dont ever let anyone say that it is anything else.

and if he does like it, he needs to atleast put some racing stickers or something on it so that people think he might race it as opposed to be mentally retarded.

 

He has to do no such thing

 

I know where exactly that shop is...The shop owner is an awesome guy ,and really knows his work. I would have no fear to let him work on my car. About the wing, there is nothing wrong to put it on,if he or she , the owner is happy with it. There are so many ugly things out there that people do ,just to attract someones attention. Did he get yours and mine ?...Yes ,he did.

 

the whole .org could have lunch on that thing..even room to lay out some lines and.. well nevermind

I agree with you. If the owner likes his car, that's all that matters. Some people modify their lenses, headlamps, seats, put body kits. All on 4th gens that retail for 8k at most. How is that not tacky? It is, but again, as long as the owner likes it.

 

it was in bad taste not to blur out his license plate...

Regardless of whether you agree with what he's decided to do to HIS car or not, it is HIS car, let him make himself happy.

I remeber an article in some car mag, or some other mag, where a reader asked about the connection between actual racecars having wings, and the average FWD car having a wing. For an answer, the mag asked someone a Wings west, and the rep was forced to admit that these wings have no real importance, other than to make the car look "better". I laughed my **** off for like 3 days after hearing him say that.

 

Different folks, different strokes However, that isnt the type of maxima owner that if i saw, i would beep, or flash my lights at....

Edit: Right after I just posted, I was like "Hey dad, look at this" He came over and said "what" I showed him the pic and he said.... AND I QUOTE "ooooooohhhhhhh my GOD... Jesus Christ, That dude oughta be SHOT!"
This coming from a man who drives around in his wife's 2003 accord coupe and loves it! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA Man I wish i recorded that soundclip for you guys...

 

yea...my dad is the same way. used to have a 64 1/2 jaguar...so everything rice he despises. he just shook his head at the picture

 

wow, that wing is sooo ugly. wings are acutally usless for fwd cars. but if it makes the driver happy thats their own problem.

 

it looks liek t it is bolted in the middle of the trunk. i wonder if the wing touches the car when he opens his trunk, or maybe it is to heavy to open.

 

*gag* *gag* Gag!

 

he even has the maxima license plate frame and some type of dash trim.. hmm

someone do some "photomagic" and see what that sticker on his back windshield say where the brake light is.

 

Guess you like guns in CT. It amazes me how judgemental people are, how original it is to follow the pack mentality. I guess everybody should take their $8000 Maxima and put a cold intake, clears, tails, side markers, body kit, HID kit that looks like s*** and doesn't even aim properly, and be cool. Whatever. This thread imho shows the worst of the forum. Threads that have info on how to keep the Max running show the best.
