i used photoshop to remove it, when the time comes for a repaint I thought about removing those when I had the car painted. but before I made the move i wanted to get opinions on it.

maybe i should do more angles as well to get a better idea ?

B..............No sidestrips on 3rd Gens look good, just not on 4th Gens. The only 4th Gen I saw that looked good without them was that Bright Orange Custom 4th Gen.

B, it just looks two strange without the bar. you will regret getting rid of it the very first time somebody opens their door into your car in a parkin lot.

WOW! That orange is impressive. Of course, any Maxima with a new paint job looks impressive.

Well I wish you had a regular angle of the car but I like the stock look the best. It gives more style to the car.

I like what you've done with your fog lights and bumper lights... what'd you apply niteshades to them?

Not unless you park next to a mini cooper, those sidebars isn't goin to protect your car from anything! They are so low it is worthless to have them on there. Plus, its a pain when you have to dry off the side of the car with them there. I hate them....

I think those bars give the Maxx more of a shape. Without them, it just looks too plain. So I say B!!

Actually I used the "Lamin-x" smoked film 12" x 16" sheets and cut out to the size I needed and put those on there. The work really well. Now they have 12" x 20" and those would probably work out a little better. I think if I ever get new headlights I'll put on the clear to help protect the headlights from damage.
