I bought mine last week and it got here yesterday. It appears to be of decent quality, but the seller sold me the wrong front lip kit (00-01). I am changing my front bumper to the 02-03 version and I wanted THAT lip. Tried to get in touch with them, but they havent answered my emails.

In any event, if you wanna get my front lip, let me know.

ebay kits are poor quality. dont buy them. better off getting the right one the first time, instead of having buying two.

I am assuming it is an ABS dynamics front lip kit? If so, they ONLY make front lips for 00-01 maximas....if you try fitting that lip onto your 02-03 bumper, it will not directly bolt on...

if your lip kit is different from ABS dynamics, plz ignore my response....but provide me with the link to the auction cuz I'm interested in seeing this

I hear the fitment and quality are good...the only thing is, the front lip is very vulernable since its in the front....its better to go with a stillen polyureathane lip since it takes more abuse than ABS plastic....the rear you can choose ABS no prob cuz the rear doesn't see nowhere as much abuse as the front does

The abs lip is a tight fit and you need to dremel off a little bit on the passenger side. Other than that, it is fragile where the corners meet on the outer portion of the fog light. Other than that, I think it looks great, both front and rear. It hasn't cracked in any other place and it does take a beating since my lip tends to bend a lot going up some driveways.

You can get away using fiberglass for sides and rear but get urethane for front

i got an Ebay lip the ABS plastic one, for like $81 shipped, i tried to fit it on, i had some trouble, so my dad had to work on it to get it to fit, so i took it off, and iam waiting for spring/ summer, for weather to get warmer, that way i can paint it, and it should go easier on. Other than that its all good, i am trying to get rear lip too.

If you look closely, 5.5 gen (2002-03) bumpers are shaped differently. You can't put a 5th gen lip on that bumper without modifications.

Look at steven88's and ChromeSE5's sigs

What headlights does that white max have in the pic?
They're black ebay projectors
