first off, lower the car. dont put any fog lights, take off the front plate and if you get black housing turn signals it go with the headlights. some low offset wheels will help out too...
sorry, the "offset" plate just looks ugly on a maxima...

I concur. The only time it is acceptable is when it is required by state law. The Nismo plate looks tacky. The White car is decent.

I get told mine looks mean all the time, but mine is just a stock A32B front end with some retrofitted R34's 
I think mine has a lot to do with having a light colored car and black headlights, though.

In short either spend $10-100 dollars on hood pins or spend at least $1000.00 on a new hood windshield, and repair of dent on the roof. Thats assuming the hood didnt obstruct your vision long enough to smash the car up.
But back on topic the stock front end looks good in my opinion especially with a lower lip.

Not needed are you serious? have you ever had or seen a hood fly up on someone? They may not look the best but i dont care how nice the hood latch is on a cf or fg hood you should still run them. You could get the aero catch ones that **** flush if you dont like regular style ones.

Hey, if you don't mind can you post some more pics? I have the same year and same color and I'm trying to figure how to make my car's aesthetics better. I also really like your headlights. What type are those?

Those sir, are the Ebay R34 1 Piece headlights. They are great for looks, but the Output of them on the road SUCKS. you get a "W" on the road type light pattern, if you will.
If you want these headlights, the best thing to do is retro them with projectors like the 78% of us did on the org including me.
If you need projectors, look around here on the .org or go to this website.
www.theretrofitsource.com
to better add to the look of your R34 1 piece headlights, try to do a Dual projector look. Maybe seem better or may seem worse depending on what projectors you have and what you did with them to make it astoundingly stunning. Now don't forget the shrouds. which can range from $0.00 to a good $100+.
Now go out there and make your car HAPPY!

Drop the car at least 2" in the front, 18" wheels (deep dish), and low prof. tires. Get some fog lights (H3 HID 6000k), and 10000k (HID) low beams on top. change the grill, and take off the lisc. plate.. If you dont have an intercooler, please cover that hole in the middle with a nice wire mesh that matches.. hope this helps..

okay... a few things to clarify.
I dropped my car 2.25" in the front, and 2" in the back.... it is sitting on 17" rims. with Brand new tires....... the hole does have 'mesh' the reason you can't see it is because the angle of the car. but eh... o_O

The top pic I have to use a 1/4 inch spacer to clear the brakes, but the bottom pic is no spacer with 18X8 infinity wheels with 245/40/18s.
I'm now running 245/30/18 R comps on the infinity wheels.
