Here is a picture of my new Ninja Kit. I only got the bumper and the sides abd planning on getting the Stillen rear. The side skirts were blended into the body and not just bolted on. I used silver mesh grills from Home Depot to cover the two main openings, felt it was unnecessary to close up the others. I took off the Nissan sign from the original bumper and sticked it on the mesh.

Overall it came out good. If anybody want more pics, I can post some more.

You beat me to the punch!

I've been contemplating on the Ninja front and sides with the Stillen rear as well. I just hope the the bottom of the skirts match the Stillen rear in terms of height. Man that looks hott in Icelandic Pearl. Do you know how much its gonna cost for the Stillen rear part/labor? Nice ride. More pics plz!

1st, I'll give you mad props, that is a pretty good looking 5th gen.

I like what you did with the grill. The only downside it looks like a mustank, note: look at the one in the background.

Do you know how they secured the mesh to the bumper/grill/body? Did they secure with glue or screws?

THIEF THIEF...j/p...looks nice...i like it on a white max...i don't know what it is w/ paint shops but they can never seem to match to the original paint...my kit is a little lighter, my friends kit is the same way...and from that pic yours looks the same way...looks nice

pmp, i want to see pics of the stillen rear because i am actually considering doing this...i don't like my back end as much as i used to...i still have my stock back bumper so it probably won't cost too much

how much did you pay to have the sideskirts blended in completely? the shop that did mine (if you can't tell, i'm pretty pissed at them) just screwed my kit in...couple screws in the front wheel well, a couple in the back, and a couple that you only see when you open the doors (just drilled straight down)...how did you have them blend it in? i'm interested

Just a reply about matching paint... The reason why your paint is not matching is because the kit is not metal like the body of the car. Paint will always look different on plastic parts.. I've been told this by many body shops. Now if you painted the whole car and the body kit, then you'll get very close, but still a slight difference. Black is the only one that can match.... Unless you get it from Earl Sheib??? Good luck...

my spoiler is aftermarket and no one can tell the difference between it and the body color.. then again the place that painted it had my gas door for a while to match the factory paint.

hmmm more people are thinking about doing this....time to visit erebuni...anyways speaking of mismatched paint i have a black car so it would've been extremely sad if they couldn't match it...blind even

zach you should've had them do it over...my paint shop screwed up...it was chipping left and right...went back and they painted it over for free

my paint shop is in the ghetto and everyon that works there speaks fluent spanish and some english...i did go there and tell them to re-do it and they refused...they said from where they stood it looked fine...so i went around the car and said from here and here and here and here...etc. it doesn't look fine...after over an hour of arguing w/ the guy, he told me he didn't need mine or anyone elses business and that his bodyshop is in business for themselves buying wrecked cars and repairing them and selling them (probably w/ a clean title)...i don't really feel like going to court over this but what should i do? contact the better business beaureau (sp?)

Contacting the BBB is ok, but the shop has to be a member in order for it to be effective. If they aren't a member, most businesses don't care. Also, all the BBB does is act as an arbitrator (go between) for you and the business owner/manager. It is still up to the business to do as you request.

Both cars look good. Since I have a slow connection I almost thought I was going to see a 4th gen. Has anyone attempted to add foglights to the kit & can someone post a pic of the rear?
