True. I don't give a **** if my car looks similar to guys on the .org, the fact is the majority of maximas in my area that are "modded" have altezzas and huge wings...so to have a subtle and classy look such as the one I hope to achieve is actually different from the norm in my area.

The side plates on the wing are aluminum. Instead of polishing them, I want to have them chromed.

Thanks for the feedback guys, and to the ppl saying im being original, I really appreciate it. Just trying to be diffrent and Im happy with the responses because that IS what I accomplished.

I think a lot of you guys are getting carried away with the hating. It's not like that guy that had the yellow 4th gen with a spoiler and bodykit that didn't go along with the cars design at all (plus the chrome spinners). This guy picked a big spoiler but it flows with the design pretty good. I can't say the same about skyline bodykits tho.

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.
Now this guy knows his stuff...being different can be bad or good. When doing aesthetics I think you should pick things that flow with the original design, not add more lines and holes that take away from the original car. Not sure i like the fender flares tho..

You planning on going airborne with the Maxima? If not, dont do the wing.

In my opinion i think it depends on the car. Look at a skyline or 3000gt for instance, there wild cars that can handle wild wings and pull it off. Personally, ive never liked huge wings just cause it seems everybody around has um on junk cars. However, i respect pretty much anybody thats willing to turn a car into a custom, whether or not people like it. Anyway, yeah, my opinion on the max is that its a classy/sporty beast car. Spoilers like the GTZ from the galant and the stock one look good, cause they dont overdo the smooth style of the rest of the car. I guess its just a matter of opinon though. Ive got a starfire blue max with a skyline kit, s15 headlights, and a GTZ spoiler and i think it kinda looks like a cross between an s15, a skyline, and a max. Some people might like it but hey, its my car, ill do what i want. Contrats to ya man, even thought it isnt my thing, you went out on a limb.
