anyone know the name of the kit that this pic has? http://www.ravenimaging.com/maxima/w...dles_Sweet.jpg

thanks

 

Its a stillen,he had it molded to the body.

 

what u mean by "molded"?

 

a "molded" kit etc. is made to look like it is part of the body of the car no seams, lines like it was made on the car from the factory really it is a nice cleaner look like shaving door handles antennas,keyholes,trunk locks,etc....

 

how is the molding process done? can you ask the auto store to have it done?

 

You do have alot of questions are you thinking about doing it ?
If so to get the kit molded you would have to go to a body shop so they can put the molding between the kit and the car, sand and paint which would cost you a hefty amount and second of all you would have to be very careful not to hit against any curb because the molding will crack.

 

My car is completely shaved except for the gas tank door. No handles, no power antenna, no locks, no emblems. Kit is molded to the body with using reinforced fiberglass (believe me it is hard i have hit it on driveways before and no cracks at all). I owned a very lowered Integra GSR that was kitted before this, so I know I could do this to my MAx without fear of tearing it up. So if anyone is going to go ahead and mold the kit to the car you have to be sure you are a careful driver and don't let anyone drive your ride. It is Expensive job to do and to repair.

 

how much do the molding go for?

 

If you have to ask, then it's probably much more expensive than you realize!

For example, getting my rear bumper touched up and repainted (after a few nicks over time, here and there) was quoted as being from $350 to $700. That is JUST the rear bumper. The quotes were from 3 different autobody shops.

The kit will run you nearly $1,000. The paint job on just the body kit would be at least $800, if not more. The custom work to mold the kit to the body, as Down Low had it done, would add at least another $1,000 to the price tag. With all of the shaving that Down Low had done to his car, I wouldn't be surprised if he had to have the whole car repainted. A professional paint job will easily cost you from $2,000 to $4,000.

So this kind of modification is not to be taken lightly. If you do it, you plan on keeping your car for the long haul because all of this work won't raise your resale value by much.

 

Not true. Altezza lights look fine on Lexuses.

 

Yo bro. It's me DEVEN. I was driving next to you today on the NJ turnpike. Your ride looks nice. Are those the Toyota Avalon's reverse lights in the rear?

 

what year do you have? please consider that the 95-96 lights are different than the 97-99, the chromes have the outline on the newer one and they dont have the outline on the 95-96, same case will be for black and carbon fiber, all 97-99 will have the silver outline, 95-96 will not

 

Are you even using an antennae at all? I shaved mine and I just don't listen to the radio at all. There have been a few times I've needed or wanted to (9-11) and I couldn't.

What did you use to replace your antenna? Does it get decent reception?

 

I agree, I think they only look good on dark colors other than black with black chrome altezzas. My friends burgundy looks great with them.

 

why and the hell was this thread started. there are two distinct sides to this battle and no one will win it. when it comes down to it, its all personal choice.

 

Its a debate. Who knew those werent allowed
