I do believe this is a noob question
I do believe this is a noob question
my question is, what would i have to do, to put an A32 body kit on my car from japan. I was looking at it and it looks like it would fit fine, but ive heard that the sides are the wrong length for the maxima


Isn't A32 the (Frame?) code?
So the Maxima, Cefiro, I30s are all A32s...correct?
Anyway, why would you want that bodykit? It takes away all definition from the body and just make sit look like box on wheels. IMHO of course.

the kit is japan fabulous, and it is $910 plus shipping and you get
1. front bumper
2. rear bumper
3. foglamp (new but not fabulous)
4. side skirt
5. door panel
6. rear spoiler.
I want this kit because, I have never seen it in america. I want something that nobody else has

It looks niiiiiice. Buy the kit. I'll PM my address to you. If you like how it looks on my 97 I30t I'll sell it to you.
HAHA. Kidding.
But seriously, How much is shipping on that?....to Texas?

for sure you would have to purchase I30 front fenders. Or hack yours to bits to get that kit to look like a decent fit. Also, some work would have to be done to the rear quarter. on an i30 the bumper extends to the rear wheel. The maxima has sheet metal. Look closely and you will see what I mean.
The kit might be under 1000 but I bet the body work will come in over 3000 without paint to get it to look right.
good luck.
then theres the grill and hood. the i30 grill is part of the hood. oh and relocate the latch so you can open your hood. I think that's about it.
I would also bet that those little side caps for the rear spoiler are the wrong shape against the body.
IMHO more work than what it's worth.
sell your car and buy an i30 ftw.

The man told me $910 for the kit and approximately $500-600 for shipping from Australia.
I would like to buy an i30 as a project car once I get set with a good job

**why couldnt i use the stock hood and grill

unless you get better suited looking wheels and suspension to accommodate that box of a bodykit, your going to look like crap. plus factor in the amount of labor and paint to get that on the car, whether it be an i30 or a maxima.
waste of money IMO

fyi i30's are longer in the rear than maximas. i don't know by how much. to echo what the others have said, buy an i30 if you want that kit
also, waste of money, you dump 5-8k installing that kit with paint, labor, and whatever other fees are attached and the first rock or drive way or curb that comes along is going to blow your lid.
daily's with any kit other than a simple ground control get torn up quick, especially lowered. just my.02

There is no way that kit would fit a Maxima without some body modifications.
Maxima front fenders wont line up with the front bumpes and the rear quarter panel wouldnt line up with the rear bumper.
Once you swap the fenders you have to go with Cefiro headlights and the grill is needed if you want it to flow with the bumper. The Maxima grill would just look odd with that bumper.
Tigersharkdude wanting to be unique, thats a first.

Like most have said its really not worth at all would be so much time and money. If you want to stand out get someone to mix you up a sick *** color and paint your car..... If your *sings* BALLIN! go for it.
if you got a spare 4 grand for that kid do it. that kit looks quete expensive and ur gona need a quete a few modifications to install it. and get it painted etc... is even more. (unless u got a paint booth and all the right equipment) you will most lickely not be able to do it urself.

the maxima lines arent that great, i hate the way the rear part of the car looks. and so what if it looks boxy, at least he wont have a stillen lip or icondynamics full kit that everyone in this site has.

...If your a fan of the boxy look, a 3rd gen or even a 2nd gen is more for you.
were not saying it cannot be done, just that is not cost effective for a maxima.
Just because they try to do it, doesnt mean its truly VIP. True VIP cars are big bodied sedans decked out look even more luxurious. The style is said to originate from the Yakuza, I doubt they would be rolling in xB's or fits. Just doesnt fit the gangster lifestyle,.. which is what the VIP look represents.
Looks better than all the jankey *** body kits state side for an A32. You can probably get it through RHDjapan or pandagarge. Of course the wait will be a while and etc... Japaneese Aero isn't too easy to get.
Anyways heres some pics of another nice vip cefiero from singapore. I think i posted pics of this car on here somewhere before already though.



Nice wheel gap.
