Just get some super swampers and your ready for the mud trails.

J/K that front is hot, I think once you get the rims and the drop it will all come together nicely.

yeah, there is a pretty huge gap between the top of the front kit and the hood...

I like the exhaust and eyelid mods, but I'm really really not feeling any part of the kit...sorry

Looks .....one of a kind...for some reason I thought you were going with the Octane bumper as well On another note I bet the exhaust sounds sweet

I'm ****ed- dropped off my car this afternoon to repaint front /rear bumpers and add Maxx tuning front lip/Stillen rear valence and the shop had trouble fitting one of the Sarona sides (damn fiberglass) So they would need extra time (so I have no choice to bring it back later in June)

Going to the East Coast meet with a half a ssed kit

Not bad...not bad at all.

I think the white eyelids are too much white, I'd have gone with CF ones to *TRY* to break it up a little.

Also, not feeling the grille area. Not sure what would set it off, besides some billet bars or some diamond mesh like Dixits, maybe?

Props though....

I would add that a functional turbo w/ a big ol' intercooler would set it off alright....hehe

In some ways the front actually reminds me of the maximazero kit.

honest opinion? car looks like crap. if u look at the body lines of the maxima, it flows NOWHERE NEAR what that kit flows. there are no aggressive lines in the max, as opposed to that body kit. you were better off getting a front lip and matching sides.

however, dual exhaust is sweet. and CF eybrows would looked a lil nicer cause i think it woulda helped with the continuity of the CF/smoked taillights. and i think it would be kinda neat if u painted the part where it looks like a rear diffuser. if it was black, it woudl look nice and would definitly accent your dual exhaust.

Eh I still don't like the front. I do like the dual idea, the rear body kit sticks out way too much. Btw I am thinking about doing the dual thing to my car, I can get it done for 200 bucks, all I need is another Greddy Evo! It's not gonna be a true dual since it's gonna be coming from the cat, but I dunno yet..That left exhaust looks kinda off too. Screw lowering the car cuz you're only going to land up messing up that bk!

I guess with bigger wheels , it might look decent. The front bumper isnt that bad, but the rear is not to my liking at all....You need a drop real fast.

Both the front and rear bumpers look way too chunky. IMO It does not flow well at all. It also looks like the front bumper does sag a bit right above where the front grille would be. But the dual exhaust is bad a$$.

How are you guys putting the dual exhaust on with that black box on the left hand side. I was told there was no way to remove it and no way to go around it either.

Right now your car looks ok...different, but it needs rims so bad its not funny. Nothing less than some 19x8.5. You need to go big and wide to fill out that kit. I'd run a 30 offset in the rear with a 19x8.5 rim and a 35 offset in the front. Get the new Axis Hiro in gunmetal w/ a polished lip. Link...http://www.wheelsnext.com/product.phtml?p=1285

Rims and a drop and it will look awesome. I hope you have flat roads because you will practically be on the ground. I like the kit now even though there is a huge gap on the front. Good job

Thanx alot guys, yes the front has a small gap because it looks like the bumper was made for a 2k2-3 which sits higher. but it is nothing a little weather stripping can't fix. and the paint matches exactly. As for the exhaust it was custom made to go around the black box on the left and leave enough room so that the black box doesnt get hot. but the kit looks alot better in person.

I really wanted to lower it, but icant because the front is too low. but i am planning on putting some 19's on, gun metal w/chrome lip.
Oh yeah and the front Poly bumper was a good fit!
Keep the opinions comming

It really looks like the rear bumper is drooping on the right side, hanging lower than on the left. The whole thing seems like too much right now, new wheels will definitely help that.

Overall I think it looks pretty good. I like grill of the bumper however it left some gaps here and there that make it look cheap. Also it does not flow with the fender of the max. Some rims would really set the car off tho. 18's should like good in there. Maybe a CF hood would be nice too....I want a CF hood. Oh yeah and turbo, turbo would be nice....

The duals look mean. Definately time for some rims. The offset of the factory rims with the big body kit makes the 17's look hidden way back in the fender from the side. Whole car looks too heavy right now but some wide 18's+ should do the trick. Not really feeling the kit myself, but great color match.

Its weird cus on the pics it does look like that, but in reallity, its even.

Maxii: I know 18's will do but ive always wanted 19's so I dont know, but i still have a while untill i get enough money for rims, so ill think about it. i was really thinking about Axis spiders, or falken torque 5's, in gun metal w/ a polished lip.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.

keep the opinions comming.

[QUOTE=MannyNJ2k2max] On another note I bet the exhaust sounds sweetQUOTE]

Yeah it does!! the best way to describe the sound would be, that its like a muscle car, but a brand new one, just the sound of bubbling water going through the exhaust, a very clean and distinct tone. ive gotten alot of compliments on the sound.
