Bolt On Skyline Headlights....

Are there any style of headlights that may fit into a max?? I found a skyline headlight assembly somewhere for about 650 that includes the HID ballast and bulbs. Anyways, just a question. Also what would i have to do to turbo my max? I want to do something that EVERYBODY doesn't already have. Any halp is appreciated!!

I always thought Dubs was spelled Dubz? Also, I didn't think 20's would fit well on the Max.

Re: Bolt On Skyline Headlights....

I'm gonna say this before anyone else gets in on it. SEARCH!!! Everything you've asked has been asked before many, many, many times.

Now to answer your question. No, nothing is going to directly fit a maxima. However, with enough money, anything will fit. But you're looking at a minimum of $1k in bodywork alone just for the headlights. Custom work on the hood, fenders, bumpers, and headlight support brackets is required. It can be done, but you better have mad money.

As for the turbo, that's going to cost even more money. And no offense, but if you have to ask what you have to do, then you shouldn't even be thinking about getting one because you're in way over your head. Once again, it can be done, but you better have a whole lot of money and time on your hands.

I know that turbo charging my max is going to be more then molding headlights... the whole point in asking if there are any direct bolt on head lights is because i didn't want to spand lots of $ in molding so it'll crack, and bodyshops won't warrenty paint.... etc. but maybe i have to be more specific. About how much do you think it would cost to have my car turbo charged? roughly....

i really didn't put much thought into how it was spelled. but since you did the work for me when i have time i'll change it. and dubZ fit fine, just take off 5 bolts on each wheel, remove stock wheel, replace with new wheel and re-apply 5 bolts.

Re: Re: Re: Bolt On Skyline Headlights....

That all depends on if you can get hookups or do some of the work yourself. I think Unclemax's custom turbo is like $5K w/ intercooler, but that's on an incredible deal. Normally it would be much, much more. There is someone who's supposed to be prototyping a bolt on turbo kit, but there's been no word on that in a while so we'll have to see.

HI, I wanted to know how much for the side vents on the front of the car, i'm interested in the price because I don't want to go to a shop and have them rip me off so if you can give me an estimate, that would be great. thanx in advance.

Right now that is in the works. Check under group buys I think it was like 450 or around there unpainted.
