I definitely want a Stillen front lip but I'm torn between Stillen or Ionic Dynamics sideskirts and rear kit. I've seen people mix and match (Stillen lip with ID sides and rear - vice versa). What do you think? Any suggestions/comments are welcome..

i'm going to be the odd one and say ID "classic' along with ID sides and rear valance.

i had the classic front lip on my maxi and it looked nice, through a lot of people off
i chose that lip cause eveyone has either stillen or ID "new" lip kits.

heres a crappy phone pic of my lip before i broke it


be getting another one soon...

I like Ionic because they built things specifically for our Maximas and go the extra mile for some of us. Like they made a set of the CF side mirror shells for a maxima owner after they were discontinued.

But as for looks I think if you mix up the two kits you will find a really good combination. Like Ionic front, and sides, and Stillen rear. I was thinking about doing that for a looooong time.

Ionic are great, but IMO the Stillen is better looking.

If you look at the lines of the two kits, they don't really flow together very well. Mixing kits FTL IMO.

i dont see how mixing both kits wouldnt look good. the stillen front lip and ID front lip look almost the same.

the stillen looks nicer but i the ID kit has longer/lower sides and rear valances...

Having both kits in my possession, and trying to mix and match kits in the past, I still disagree.

I guess judging from pictures and imagining the combined kits wouldn't be as good as having both kits in your garage and then testing the combination in person.

Like from what I can tell in the various pictures of the kits, Ionic front, sides, and Stillen rear would look good because it makes the rear look complete with the big side skirts from Ionic, but the pictures don't show the fine details of the kits like subtle grooves or whatever which is why Mr. Wizard probably knows better than anyone how it would look combined .
