On one hand, it looks a little ricey.
On the other hand, NASCAR drivers have been known to damage their rear bumper cover on purpose, because it creates some drag, so the car is faster without the rear bumper cover.

Holy CIVIC batman! That's gotta add at least 10 whp....
The weight reduction alone must be huge.
Better aero dynamics at "highway speeds"
I'm looking for my hole saw as I type this.

I dont know of any 100% drag prepped Maximas, therefore there is no reason to drill holes in the rear bumper. If you do, atleast get the billet covers to make it look less crappy.

If you never take your car off the track, go for it. If you drive on the street, don't do it (why would you want to?) There must be better ways to gain a little speed than humiliating a perfectly good automobile.

The idea is that without a foam bumper support, the rear bumper creates a lot of drag, because it's basically a flat piece of metal/plastic with nothing in front of it. Never mind that drag doesn't really become an issue until highway speeds or faster.

well I think we've got our answer about this one 
. I'd be more interested in panels underneath the car to provide a flat surface all race-car style. I cant explain what I'm trying to say.

there ya go! Of course not quite to that degree, but I can see where you might have to do the whole length of the car if you dont find a good ending point otherwise your still going to get the parachute effect. I guess I was envisioning something axle-back...not sure if it'd work or be worthwhile.

Actually I think if you put two holes on the left and two holes on the right with a bulging mesh it'll look pretty good! Almost like those body kits with the holes and mesh over them. Although it would look a little tacky, no one is going to know
And what the hell is wrong with the molested cars.com or whatever, there was a honda with a galant spoiler and chrome rims and it was put up on there for being "extremely" rice.... I swear, if you are going to call a car ricey at least pick a car that is easily seen as so. Like cars with giant spoilers... not cars with chrome rims and a reasonably sized galant spoiler... thankyou

If anyone ever does see this on a Maxima, please insult the owner at will, multiple times! ROFL
