New Bodykit?

Well, I was looking around today, when I found some pictures of a JT Evo kit, that was made for the 00-01 Altima:



I thought, hmmm, would this look cool on the 5th gen? So I tried a little photoshop work and I came up with this:



I know some of you will think, ewwww, wtf is that? If you do think that, its not meant for you! If you like it would you think someone would make it for you guys, in support for the 5th gens?

What do you guys think?

my 2 cents: the fender to the bumper seems a bit awkward...seems like the circular trim on fender ends right before the bumper.

The photoshop wasnt too clean, but Im just giving a overview of what IM talking about, thats why I provided a real picture on the altima.

i think its ok but a little too bubbley for my taste. I personally like the stillen front fascia but it doesn't line up with hood so thats the reason i am still stock until somebody make a front lip for the 2k2. I am getting the stillen sides and rear and the apc spoiler for now

The kit matches the body well, but I don't like how it makes it look like a shovel. Maybe if it was flattened out a bit...looks cool

Looks good...

I like it, but it does look like a shovel up front, but besides that good job.....While, I'm here, I'm getting the stillen front touring fascia, and sarona design sides and rear bumper...What's the difference between poly-urethane and fiberglass? Which is better? Anyway, I need a new bumper sone ******* hit me on the back so I decided to get a full bumper replace ment instead of a new bumper and a stillen rear spoiler...dam, old people and their driving to close to the windshield..thanx guys.

Not Bad but,,,

Maybe it's because of the photoshop work that makes it look a little funny. It's tight on the ultima though but, for the max I would have to say no. Someone needs to come up with a front that adds to the exiting lines and beauty of the car and not just rice it up. My 2 cents!

Thats only because Stillen is to only body-kit producer that offers sturdy, lasting, and good fitting kits. If lets say Veilside offered kits for maximas then probably everyone would buy a Veilside kit.....

I contacted Tanabe Racing and pleaded to them to produce Maxima exhaust, but I have yet to hear from them....
I'll contact Veilside, hell they made a kit for the Hyundai Tiburon....

Personally I don't really like that bodykit. However, we definitely need to have a wider selection of bodykits for the Maxima. I know there are probably alot of people that do like it too.
