ok big big Question for the maxima community i know i should not ask this but i also know i know more people would like to do this or is thinking about it so here

as any body done this mod to a maxima before

NO BS only straight answers plz

 

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.

 

Question: Has any body done this mod to a maxima before?

Answer: No.

 

i'm pretty sure i've seen it done before.

it's pretty ugly and i really gotta wonder if it's necessary. if you're not putting down hundreds of hp over stock i wouldn't even consider it.

 

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 hope i never see it on a maxima.

 

i know guys that cut out holes like that in the frames for weight loss...but in the bumper?

 

Ned: Whatcha diddely-doin', neighbor?


Homer: Aw, putting speed holes in my car. Makes it go faster.


Ned: Is that so? Well, gee, maybe the old Flanders-mobile could use
some

 

lmao. that's a classic... i've looked for a corresponding pic 10000000000 times.

 

i live in 626 and all the maxima's ive seen around here have never done that!LOL i rarley see that on any car! dont do it!, looks a litte bit wierd.

 

on a related note - skinny tires on the back wheels of a drag car FTMFL.

 

Cant run skinnys on the front of some drag cars.

 

i deff havet seen this on any max but would to know if some has done this im sure there is go to bee someone that done this and i whan to see if there is

 

Lmao dude i just saw that episode..

..dont like the mod too much though

 

Personally I've never seen that done to a Max and I hope I never do.

 

I have some buddies that drag a hatch civic like the one in the OP. They removed the rear bumper support to reduce weight. The class they run in requires a full body, so the bumper cover must remain; however it becomes a parachute once the support is removed, hence the holes to release some of the pressure.
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.

 

I know a guy with a hatchback civic that has them... But please NOOOO on a Maxima

 

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.

 

dude stole my quote
but seriously that looks hidious and id never ever do it to my car but hey its YOUR car do what YOU want but imho its gross.

I'v seen a couple GSR Civic Hatches with this. Iono if its for the maxima tho.

 

omg i keep clicking on this damn thread and it keeps coming up with this!!!! This is worse than having **** warts please get this hemroid out of here!!!!!

 

If you want to fk up a good car then go ahead, but i think you'd be foolish to do. To each their own.....

 

Don't really see the purpose of this, you're saving like 20 grams?
I know they definitely used to do this back in the day when they had metal bumpers but nowadays its just pointless IMHO.

 

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.

 

A diffuser is what I think your 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.

 

or like this BMW diffuser.. Slightly better looking than the "holy bumper"

 

well doing something generally meant to have a purpose and function strictly for appearance reasons is a whole different subject.

Sorry to bump this thread, but I just found a pic of a G20 (kinda big though sorry guys):


It would look terrible on a 4th gen just like it does on that G20.

 

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

 

This is as good as I could get! LOL

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

 

If I saw this done to a Max, I don't know what I'd do. I'd probably find the driver and smack some sense into him. That potentially one of the more ricer things I've seen
