Sarona or stillen

I am almost positive you can buy the lip from Sarona, but its actually the whole bumper, but I would search the org because it seems a lot of people are having fitting problems with Sarona's front bumper. I didn't need the problems and I just got the Stillen one from Avalon Racing last night.

Good luck,
Erik

I agree with the Sarona sides, but I hate the rear. I don't like the Stillen any better.

I agree. The first time I saw the pic I tought it was streched. Uhh.
Don't flame me, but I love the backs of the Civics and Accords with the, hard to say, umm, like lines sticking straight out along the tailpipes. Kinda like GT class racing.

Of course, it's just tape fer crying out loud. And it's not even GOOD tape. Tape + speed + wind = bodykit falling off.

well whoever just used tape to hold on their body kit is a moron! DO NOT use the supplied tape from stillen, buy a roll of 3m body molding tape, its 10x stronger and its 1/2 as thick.

Obviously your supposed to use screws/rivits as well to secure it correctly!! what happens if you bottom out, would you rather the thing just break off? or would you rather than just get a scrape? and not run it over, lol

well how do you think the sarona kit would look the side skirts and front bumper (keping the stock rear), im thinking about selling the back end to make up for the work shop costs. And if i do choose to do that would anyone be interesed in a black painted rear bumper.

step

i found the side step picture on EBAY. oh yea and i think the best type of kit for the max would be like a skyline kit like they have for the altima and long az it was urethane and not fiberglass. what do you guys think?

thats exactly my point.i used rivets and you have to use the aluminum ones or you'll go right through the kit.that tape the kit comes with is not good enough.i dont know what the sarona comes with mounting wise but the it is hot.

Re: step

Nobody is ever going to make a full bumper replacement for the Maxima out of Urethane. the reason most full bumper replacemnts are made of fiberglass is that it's cheaper to make. Urethane requires a lot more equipment and much larger investments (translation, it's only profitable to do for Honda's) Never going to be a Maxima market big enough to justify urethane bumper replacements. Plus urethane sags. Have you ever seen a urethane bumper on a Honda after a few years? Looks like it's slowly melting off.
