im considering buying the skyline body kit, but im have several ???'s. ive lowered my max already, and im wondering if ill have to avoid speed bumps and other dips w/ the kit? also can i put the kit on myself, or am i going to need a shop to do it? and about how much is a good price to buy it, paint it, and get it put on? thanks for any info.

 

you will def have to watch your bumps. Also Id have the shop put it on and paint it at the same time. i cant remember exactly how much it cost me but not to bad. i will be doin it to my max this summer.

 

stillen body kit much cleaner and classy

 

yea i can tell by ur sig you speak from expierence. i hate to be rude but dude you didnt even come close to anserwing his question.

 

lol^ its alright...

 

hey 95 nissanmax, got any pix?

 

My Max has Sprint springs (2" drop) with KYB Shocks and a Skyline body kit. The front lip is a little over 2 1/2 inches off the ground. Like 95nissanMax said, you definately have to watch the bumps. I have to take everything at an angle. Here's a pic of the front end...

You basically just have to be careful but It's definately doable.

 

Definitely do it at the body shop. $800 would be a cheap price considering all the modifications they have to do to your car and the body kit itself. You'll have to remove your front re-bar and the foam thing from the back for the kit to fit. There are almost no holes on the kit so everything needs to be drilled. And also the bumpers have to wrape around the fenders so there will be some fitment issues. It's pain in the @ss but it looks decent when it's done. I like mine but I woulda gotten something else if I took some time to think about it first.

As for the ground clearance, the front end of the body kit sticks out much longer than stock + stillen. It also makes the car lower since the bumpers are much bigger than stock. So even without a drop, you'll have to watch out for bumps + sudden inclines/declines like going in to a gas station, driveway, etc... But drop is always doable and just gotta be careful.

 

i was just giving a suggestion and for ur info i have had my new car for 3 months....

 

You can do it yourself, I went to a body shop and ended up doing most of it myself since they were stumped. You just need to cut a little off the edge and force it around the fender. And yeah, with a drop you will need to watch for bumps. I have a couple pics in my homepage with my car not lowered and it still is close to the ground so Ive had to avoid some shops with steep entrances.
