Does not look good on a Max at all. But if you want to rock it and ruin your car then go ahead. What do I care?

I personally like Redlinemax.com's new bumper. It's simular, but the lines seem to be a little more classy and less rice. No point in trying to make your car look like another car IMO.

I don't mind the front bumber, It's just the rear portion that I hate. Most of the body kits out there have this similar rear bumber that looks very ugly.

That rear bumper is really hugly and destroy the good look of the max. If you guys want to buy a really nice body kit check this out: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=424261

To my taste I think this is the best ever kit for the maxima.

Cheers

Cant say that I like this one. The best part of a Maxima is its classy refined lines with good stock performance. The rear bumber is especially bad in this kit.

if that "anything" was power like the skyline, it would be one thing and we would all respect you
making your "four door family car" LOOK like a skyline but you still have 222-255hp =

nasty.....plus, what's up with the 25 different openings in the bumper....I mean, how many different fog light do you really need?

sure would be nice if EVERY FREAKIN kit made for the maxima wasn't based on the Skyline......some creativity please!! These guys should take some tips from the aftermarket kits for the A4 and Jetta - they have a ton of nice looking kits available.

how ironic that just because there are TWO extra holes and a mesh grill comes in this bumper kit compared to the one JdoubleOe703 has that everyone thinks it is rice. with this side by side pic comparison i hope people arent to blind to notice that the lines in this ebay bumper are nearly identical to JdoubleOe703's

Because IMO the 2 extra holes ruin everything.... I think JdoubleOe703's looks way better because of that.

the two holes just look retarded...but JDouble's kit also doesn't have that stupid "notch" at the top of the lower grill, and it has much more subtle lines....smaller lower grill, smaller "fog light" openings, and a more subtle lip. Sometimes the line between stylish and cheesy is a fine line.......
