How plausible is it to take the hood, lights and bumper off an I30 & place it on my Max. I love the look of the Infiniti, but I'm concerned about a Frankenstien Effect. However, it might not be too bad. What do you think gang? Feel free to rip the idea apart or hail my genius ( wife is snickering in the background). Photoshop peeps a little help, pleaz.

Personally I don't dig on the chrome grill... but too each his own. As far as how feasible this is... I dunno probably will cost you an arm and a leg... why not get a stillen body kit... much better looking

The only thing that I like about the stillen kit is the rear end ( that vented look) and from what I heard stillen's customer service is as offensive as panty waste. I expect good service overall. I probably will get the ninja front end.

I find that funny... you want the I30 look (luxury) or the ninja look (sporty rice) hehe little bit of contradiction.. I personally think a Ninja front and sides with stillen rear would look very nice.

I don't think it will work. I believe the light housings alone are different shapes and sizes than the Max.

hey xydavid, i like your rims, how much were they and where did you get them? i also like the way a black se looks with the black surrounds around the tail lights, "MAXIMA" in black and the front grill w/o the chrome, although i like my chrome exterior door handles, i think i want to change the rest, what do you think it would cost to get that stuff changed? really nice car btw.

Don't do it. It'll start another flame war like YJ's Type R lights.
