i believe there is a conspiracy or something among the aftermarket manufacturer and those damn hondas and ****. i feel like the aftermarket world is ****ing ignoring our demands. whatever aftermarket parts they have for max is nothing compared to hondas and other makes. let's take for instance body kit. for the 4th gen there are only three different type of kit. 2 for 95-96 and 1 for 97-99. hondas maybe 50 different kit. how bout clears??? are they trying to play with my emotions? damn if they gonna come out with clears then come out with all 4 pieces. is this suppose to be a joke only the 2 outer pieces. and for the altezza. i've e-mailed those folks at apc for some altezza. not even one god damn reply. they claim that there are not enough demands for them. i think not. what about those damn dodge neon. i don't think there is that much demand for them and apc created the altezza for them. my list could go on and on. i'm sorry for posting this but i feel like i just had to say something if it haven't been said before. now i feel better. and also our max beat every other four door cars in our class and this is what we get in return. NO GOD DAMN RESPECT. and that is my $.02

If you used the same language to ask APC for a kit, I don't blame them for blowing you off. We're not the enemy, man, so save the harsh language for someone doing you wrong. Also, look at the difference between a Max and a Civic. You go out and buy a 3 year old max for $15k (or whatever), you don't have much left for mods in the case of most people. BUT, you go out and buy a 3 year old Civic for $7k and you got tons of money left to trick it out however you want. Most people are buying Maximas for daily drivers and not to mod them. We just have to be thankful that no matter what you do to a Civic, it's still a Civic (or Accord, or 626, or Prelude, or Camry, or you get the idea .....)

it is just you
ahahah...just kidding
we are limited to the point that every max might have the same mods...
BUT
if you got money, you could always custom mod it...
I mean there are parts that can be fitted to the max...with some modification....
just need the money or the skillz...
have you seen the Skyline body kit fitted over a max....that takes nothing much...just a lot of money
=D
when it comes down to mod....got money then it is a go
just my 2 cents..

Eh...stop complaining...
and buy a Honda. 
It's not that bad...no need to get THAT worked up about it.
It's not as profitable for a company to provide for Maximas as it is Hondas (Civics). Tough ****, learn to live with it.

The cars in the Max's class...
Are all grocery getters. How many parts do you see for them? The most heavily supported one is the Accord, and we probably get more parts at least for performance than they do.
When was the last time you saw a ton of aftermarket stuff for a Camry? Galant? Taurus? Think about it. If hardly anyone mods Maximas, there aren't going to be any parts because the companies can't make any money.

Personally, I don't think that the price of the Maxima
has anything to do with there not being any aftermarket parts...look at BMW and Mercedes, they have a huge variety of parts/tuners. It's just that the majority of Maxima drivers do seem to be (in my area anyways) in the 50+ crowd.....etc etc....I could ramble on for hours. Personally, I bought my Maxima because I needed a 4dr and in my price range, it was in my opp. the nicest car out there...power/looks/comfort all taken into consideration.
Had I been looking at spending closer to $30,000, I'd have probably bought a 97 4dr M3 over a new Maxima...but thats a whole other story alltogether....

There's no market for the Maxima. there's some 1000 memeber on this forum. We won't be able to support the market.
Oh, you can't buy a used civic for $7000. I am looking for a 96 hatch back. The CX new sold for $11k. nearly 5 years later, some 50k later, they are STILL $6-7k. Talk about resale value.
