Custom Maxima

I bought a Custom Maxima strut bar and Guage Bezels.

And all i got to say is their products r garbage.

After a month the paint is chipping of the strut bar and they say they won't exchange it.

Also the guage bezels don't line up. They r very poorly cut. They end up giving me some guys number who makes them and tell me to talk to him to try to get another one, luckly he is able to help me.

I spent a decent amount of money and I use to think custom maxima was a pretty good company. I had many future plans to deal with them which are all over now.

I bought my strut bar (an OTTO) from ProCarParts.com... no chipping, and it looks great (see pics).

I bought my gauge bezel from Southwest Autoworks. Fits great (see pics on my home page).

This is exactly what I talk about when everyone says a product is "just as good" when it is cheaper. You buy cheap, you get cheap.

It is when you consider a Stillen is $170, and an OBX is $99.

Thanx bro. I think they do go with the car very well, since they are 6spoke like the stock rims.
Peace

Well the chrom one shouldn't chip, but if you get a painted one you can tell that it was painted it don't look like it is stock. And the paint is chipping so it becoming alum. But it's focking ugly
