Those newer SE-R's may not be anything all that special, but the older ones were awesome.
They were called the Bluebird overseas and they would fly.
My uncle has an old 90 SE-R Sentra, and it is just silly fast....and I have a pretty fast Maxima.

sorry man, im not feeling it. If you're not winning shows for your clean look you're definitely getting street respect for it.

I too would suggest just going with a real r34 wing, IMO it looks a lot better than the Cobra one. Seriously, even on the Cobra it looks out of place ...

could get away with it, if you had a r34 front clip to convert the frontend, it might look silly with just the custom maxima skyline bumper. try it out, who knows.

i dont like it.... sorry. i dont like the fact that it is so tall and that the legs are at an angle. at 1st i thought it was a photoshop cause it jus looks so outta place. i would recomend something smaller like a type 2 spoiler or stock.

wings dont win trophies unless it actually looks good. they dont just give out trophies cause you have a wing. it actually has to look good. (if possible)

those tail lights look good tho, i woulda liked em more if the inner tails looked a lil different. i dont like the clear on the bottom. it woulda looked better if it was a clear circular center.

sadler had no wing and his max was one of the nicest around, and it won several awards. same with aafario (sp?)

I thought it was a good idea until I saw that pic you posted...just doesn't go with the rest of the car.
If you want to win show, try to mold that mustang's body kit onto your car

i disagree, i think if you took the time, with the kit, tails,(Don't really agree with wing), and maybe a little custom body work if you were crazy about it, you could have pretty close to a 4dr gtr look...just my opinion though...

Heh, I figured the response would turn out this way. Im tired of looking like every other maxima on the road. Now I wont normally knock someones car because I take it as the talent and your own creativeness is what makes your car you. I like Big Wings, I like Rice if its done nice. I like the Import Racer look when a car is clean. Its crazy, its Outragious. Im tired of the smooth look. I like what ppl dont think you wouldve done. Now in person, this looks a lot better. Alot of ppl have told me it isnt actually bad. Why? Because I have a clean car and its not a piece of crap. I like Hondas also, crazy eh?

Then there is the big wing situation. It seems like alot of the car owneres on here just follow what others say about things. He dont like big wings, so I dont either. I think the skyline in 2 Fast 2 Furious was hot, Big *** aluminum wing and all. But thats my opinion. But hey, thanks for the response, that way I can see what the ppl think. Now I would have to move to a diffrent community of non maxima drivers to probably get ppl to actually agree with it. Thanks again

Nick

What can I say? I want to bash my head against a wall.

The only thing worse than making a car look like a car it isn't (Fiero -> Ferrari, NSX -> Ferrari, etc.) is putting a huge whale tale on a front wheel drive car. I actually think that Satan smiles when people do it.

What you're accomplishing is spending a great deal of money on a surefire way to lose resale on your car, all the while inviting the scorn and ridicule of everybody who sees your car, save the 19-year old greasy ricer in his civic who probably thinks that "Wow ur ride is phat lol".

you know i think that the true meaning of ricer is when you follow the crowd and are not original i give you props jet for having the bawls to be differant its not my style but hey its yours and if you can pull it off than go for it so i think that everyone saying get a type 2 wing they are the ricers ooo look at me i can be just like everyone else isnt that why you got a maxima in the first place was to be different and not be like everyone with $2500 and a civic hey if ya like it than cool if ya dont cool but if your going to bash some one for being different than your a hiporcrite im out this P issed me off

Here's my all-time favourite: the Mercedes-Benz 190E RIEGER EVO III






Notice how the rear wing suits the car? It has the angles that match the C pillar as well as the thickness. Some people will either like it or hate it and so what I'm trying to say is that if your guts tell you that the Mustang wing feels good on your car then go for it. IMO I would have something similar to the MB Evo II.
