Your refering to the kobel one I believe. http://www.groundfx.com/ In my personal opinion it's a step up from the nasty ebruni kit. I've never seen the Kobel one in person but I don't think it looks too great. You can get it from JC Whitney for like $400. It comes with a SMX style grill too. If someone has one, please post, I'm curious to see more pics (not that I'd ever buy it).

Re: kobi kit

ok, that kit looks like crap, why can't they just make a kit that compliments the max. i agree that the stillen makes the front look good, the sarona makes the best sides and rear(my personal view), but why can't any company just make a sweet a$$ and we all drool like babies in a candy store??

point well taken, but, the demand for such a kit should be high enough for many of the bodykit manufacturers to at least take notice, just my .02

If your looking to try something different and your sure that's what you want - go for it. Otherwise, if your doing it cause it's cheap, save yourself the cash and complete your stillen kit. You get what you pay for.

I was thinking the exact same thing today. Plan on it, real soon. I'm gonna stop with the ricey-pretend it's something it's not and build on the reason why I bought the max in the first place - luxury. Ny96max you approve of the nissan wing emblem from Sycefiro

Well... the kit is only for 95-96 so not many if anyone will have it.

I personally like the front lip. Its something different & nothin too crazy. I do like the little flare it gives though.

I like indiglow too. I also think the back would look better if you took the badge off. I shaved all my emblems off.

you pay for what you get.... i heard from shadow that the sarona kit will crack on ya so stick to the poly urethane kit where they just flex instead of cracking like these other fiberglass kits.

Fiberglass isn't bad. Lots of fiberglass kits are strong if made properly out of nice fiberglass. The Sarona just happens to be made from the thinnest fiberglass I've ever seen on a body kit.
