Sorry, not feeling it. The sides look great, but the center intake doesn't feel like it flows well, particularly under the grill. But excellent paint match and great looking rims!

I agree, looks like paint and installation are great, but doesn't have the same dynamic as the rest of the car.

The mesh looks kind of like chicken wire. Try a diamond or different pattern.
Kit itself is alright, but too squared for this car. Max has curves, this bumper really throws it out of proportion from the rest of the body lines. Bumper is beautiful by itself. Definately mean looking, but too much going on for me. Just a little constructive criticism.

It's not too bad, but sacrificing the fogs wouldn't be an option for me personally. Kudo's with all the work you've done.

Oh yeah for the wheels. My old setup.

most people in here think the only way to make a maxima cool is lower it and do a stillen kit. if its not stillen or stock bumper, they dont like it. it looks good.

To some people that is cool. That is how a car should look lowered with a stillen kit for some. Front lip for others. Not all of us like to show off, ever heard of sleeper?

you shouldnt lie, just not comment. if you like that kind of stuff but dont like that particular one, feel free. but if you just dont like bumper kits, keep that closed because it obviously doesnt matter. if he cared what his grandma thought, he wouldve asked her

Once again, he asked my opinion. If he didn't want my opinion then he shouldn't ask.

It looks good except the vent duct is way too big in the center of the bumper. Fit and finish is really well done. I really like how the flare off the fender just flows right with flare on the bumper.

Lip on those rims is...

I somewhat like this the way it looks. I think it has to grow on you.
What if you would paint that mesh body color, because on some angles you can't even see it. Try to photoshop it.

looks decent, some of the lines could be cleaned up a little so that they flow better with the car.

I think it needs some side skirts and a rear to make everything flow. As for the bumper itself, I think it looks good.

I don't think anyone expects everyone to give a when they ask for an opinion on a forum, nor do I think they expect a . No point in arguing over opinions.

I think the kit is alright, maybe not what I would have gone with, but it's not fugly or anything.

Bluesbrekr is on to something...I like the front bumper and mostly because its different and gives the car a different look. I would think about changing the grill and the color match looks great. At least this gives others another option for a kit for the 5th gens

Since I am not a fan of ANY kit I won't comment on that...not my place. I know for a fact though that the Redline bumper is A-1 in terms of fit and quality, unlike some other kits.

When it all comes down to it though, you are the one driving the car and paying for mods - so the only person's opinion that matters is yours.

sorry guy, not everyone is a ricer like you. not everyone agrees that having a bumper or a kit always makes the car look better. and he asked for our opionion.

i think the bumper has too many features. theres a indent on the upper center grille, and then the line going across at the bottom. and then another indent at the lower lip. needs fog lights also. ever try putting on 19s? but i dont know maybe down the road itll grow on me, i would have to see it in person to really get a good look. personally i like the jdubs kit alot better.

Keep your comments to the bumper and not "most people". krmaxima asked for opinions and is getting just that, be it positive or negative.

Personally, I like the bumper as it's own but I don't feel the big lower opening goes well with the round grille of the Maxima. It's just too square. Fitment looks good but I second Tim's opinion on not having fogs. Wheels are sharp and the drop looks good.

I think it is a nice bumper, it just does not flow with the back end. I think it was the G35 spoiler that fits the Max and I think it would help match the rear to the front.

At least its not a "Skyline" kit...

Here is the link to the G35 spoiler: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/686837

the links dont work for some reason....

EDIT: nvm they work now. the bumper looks sweet. The opening in the front is a little too big and it sucks that you don't have fogs now, but overall it looks great. especially with those rims.

I like it a lot but I wouldnt get it unless i completed the kit. For a stock maxima I think it looks a little aggressive but with side skirts and a rear and a drop and some nice aftermarket rims like the ones u have, this would be a hot looking car. How much is this bumper? I'm in need of a new one and wanted a kit in the future, this may work out 4 me.

The installation looks very clean, and the bumper itself looks like it fits very well. I have to admit that the Redlinemax kit can look good on a Maxima (I think I saw some nice pics of it on Gbauer's car before), but I personally wouldn't install it on my own car. It reminds me of something that I would've wanted on my Sentra when I was 16. I don't think it's ugly now, but it no longer fits my taste.

PM Corey (redmax) for pricing.


BTW: I'm looking forward to putting mine in. I'll have a little somthin' to fill the hole up front, though...


ps: it ain't mesh either....
