I just dont like the look on the max. It is cool that you tried something different though.

I like the scoop, but I've seen other that look alot better.
Has anybody ever made one that looks like the Imperza.

 

Keep them...

 

they are like many of your other mods: unique

 

personally i dont like them , but i give you props on trying something different

 

Are they functional or for show? They could get you alot of clear cold air for your max .

Nice but i think one wider one down the middle would look better

 

I like them. But they do look like a pontiac GTP hood.

Are those from JC Whitney? Im pretty sure they serve no functional purpose.

I dont know, it IS different, and as we all know, variety is the spice of life . If everyone's Max looked the same, that would take the fun out of meets and such.

I personally wouldnt put them on my car.

 

Sorry bro, I no like 'em.

 

hehe yeah thats just about the reactions i am getting from people who see it it person. everyone is entitled to their own opinion thanks for all the feedback everyone!!!!! i really did want to know what you guys thought and i got what i expected. they are not functional, but this summer strobes are going in.

 

Kinda reminds me of the way *EVERY* Mustang on the road has a hood scoop and fender scoops... except... where these "scoops" would actually scoop in air, it's just filled in (read: completely blocked) with a black honeycomb solid piece of plastic, therefore rendering the scoop non-functional.

I used to own a '90 RX7 TurboII, and it had a hood scoop. A functional hood scoop. Why? Because it had a top-mounted intercooler that required it. I absolutely despise cars that have fake hood scoops. Sorry.

One more thing: it's "Chromalusion", not "Chrome Illusion".

 

i think its tight

 

a little OT but, what does you cat have to do with your car in your sig?

 

i think they look kinda outa place. maybe if they were frenched in more. i do think that on in the middle that was molded in nicely would lookm better though. but hey if you didn't try it you'd never know for sure.

 

i dig em!

 

I wanna see but the site isn't working!

 

hey, good for you, i get that alot about the scoops, i'm trying to experiment with differnt things since i'm getting a new car next year and make the max my toy car.

about the chromalusion, funny thing, thats how i had it spelled before but a friend i trusted told me it was spelled otherwise..i checked the dupont site and whaddya know, it is chromalusion like i thought it was in the first place.

nizmo, about the cat, i was installing my neons and i needed my ramps and couldn't find them. i was blowing a fuse when my cat started meowing at the back door. i thought she saw another cat so i went to check, turns out i left the ramps outside...another cat,intuition, i don't know but she helped me find them. that and she likes to go cruising.

 

Me no like...Nice try though...

 

Sorry, not really my taste. The double scoops are kind of rice-y, imnsho. One large, centered scoop might look cool, though. Regardless, if you like 'em then cool. As far as I'm concerned any kind of cosmetic modification should be done because you like it not to impress other people.

Of course, something this unique is sure to get your car noticed. And there's nothing wrong with that.

 

I dont understand the majority of people and "trucks" with hood scoops... for the majority its a waste of $, and can only slow you down due to aerodynamics on the highway.

My view, just not my thing i guess.

 

Yeah man, don't knock the cats We have two of them (both black) and I think I may get another one. Just as entertaining as dogs without all the work. I can actually go out of town for a week and get someone to stop by 2 or 3 times to fill their food bowls and they're good to go ...

 

Rice is the car version of being a poseur.

Your hood scoops are non-functional... but you are posing them as "ram air" scoops that are functional on other cars.

Purely and objectively by definition, they are rice, as you have added something to your car that has bark but no bite. Or as I said before, your car is a "poseur".

 

sorry brudda - i aint really feelin them.......i think one big hood scoop down the center wood have been better........btw - u gotta paint your lip body color

 

No he doesn't. His Max looks good to him. You can certainly feel free to laugh at it, but he likes it. It seems these threads are popping up more and more and people aren't giving opinions, rather they are expressing that this is something you MUST do. For example I personally HATE altezzas, and I will laugh my *** off at someone that has them, especially on a Maxima, but if they like it, then good for them. I give SINY credit for being different at the very least ...

 

hahaha!! god damn that's funny! NEVER listen to someone that says you misspelled something... wait... nevermind.

My cat disappeared a few weeks ago. He was a little f|_|cker, but still... ya know?

But it's ok, cuz one of my buddies at work has 3 kittens, so I'll get another p|_|ssy in 3 or 4 weeks!!

 

i think your car clashes.....different color front lip, those black things on top of your car, and now the scoops....but hey if you like it then who am i to say anything....biggest mod i've done so far is change my license plates

 

the link is not working....for the definition of "rice" check my sig FYI

 

ok.. i cnnot see the pics.. grr


some one post one please..

 

i'll post a direct image when my site is done being moved to freewebz premium server...gimme a few hours.

 

thank you..

 

it's...ehh...different....well...i think it's a little overboard....and what u doing with a bike rack? totally messes up the car along wit the different color front lip...............

 

naah, i don't really go for it either but its your car...

 

my brother has them on his f-350..

 

Ones that are finctional are definatly the way to go. But I can't figure out a good way to rig them up. If anyone does, please let me know. On a dark car they aren't as noticable.

Carrying bikes, maybe?

 

i don't like it on a white maxima.

 

PLEASE don't do it. Save it for ricers.
