Hey guys, I am leaning towards ordering the Nissan body kit, well b/c it comes factory painted. I was wondering how easy it is to put those babies on. I figure I need a special glue or adhesive to keep them on the car, but is there any drilling involved? Any input is helpful...THANKS!!!!!!

 

I am kinda leaning towards the Nissan Oem body kit, it looks more sedated then the Stillen one.
Stillen is to aggressive and sporty for me, besides, i have purchased the Addco RSB and thats one LESS stillen thing that i have,

The body kit installs with double-sides 3M type tape and screws. There might also be clips, but I'm not sure, since I haven't ordered mine yet, but plan to in the future. No drilling is involved, because Nissan had already planned on coming out with an Anniversary Edition when the 2k Max came out, so the holes are already there. The holes are filled with rubber plugs surrounded by a plastic piece. I guess the screws self-tap when you screw em into the plastic, unless it's already got threads. I wanna go with the OEM kit cuz I can retain my splashguards and the fact that it comes pre-painted. Check under the front and rear bumpers to see what I'm talking about concerning the rubber/plastic predrilled holes. It should be relatively easy to install also. Peace.

 

Can you only get these through a Nissan dealer? About how much do they cost? What about the muffler, there isn't a cut out for it is there? I guees you would have to replace that too....

 

I believe the OEM Kit is only available thru a Nissan dealer. Call David Burnette (DaveB on the forum) of Town North Nissan @ 1-800-251-7278. He can get the kit for you. I think it is approximately $1,070.00 shipped to basically anywhere in the U.S. I'm not sure about the exhaust tip/muffler issue. I don't think that anyone on the forum with a 2k Max has one installed yet.

 

Does the kit have to be purchased in its entirety, or can one buy individual components? I want to just buy and start with the front spoiler first, then maybe the side and rear pieces from Stillen or others.

 

You retain the original splash guards w/ the OEM kit? I was hoping the kit will come w/ color matched splash guards. It will not look that great having a Sterling Mist body kit with black splash guards right in between it. If it's like that, then I might have to go w/ the Stillen kit.

 

Thanks for the plug, Pillager, I'll try to answer everyone's questions. The factory Aero kit is identical to the AE kit, with the exception of the rear bumper piece. It
has two pieces that taper in to allow for the 2000 muffler with straight outlets. We installed a few of these kits at Southpoint, it actually looks pretty good. If any of you are serious about considering the factory kit, let me know & I'll try to get you some pics!

What exactly is the Price for the Kit???

 

marky3320,

Pre-painted splash guards are available from Nissan. See them installed at http://www.fourthrock.com/maxima/mymaxima.html

 

As for the Splash Guards, the AE comes with different splashguards prepainted to fit the contour of the aero kit.

As for the body kit, if the Nissan kit cost less than Stillen's I may be more interested.

 

Hey Dave, I'm not seriously considering yet since I need to save some money, but I really, really want to know what it looks like. After I save some, then I'll probably pick one up. Also, I currently have the 2000 black splash guards, would I have to get new ones? I saw the pre-painted ones on a Sterling Mist GLE in person and I think that they look really sharp.

 

The price for the Nissan kit varies from place to place between ~$1100-$1400. The advantage is that it comes pre-painted, but I need to see pics to compare. I might get the Stillen kit from Avalon Racing for $799.99 and have the local shop install it. What's a reasonable price for paint and installation?

 

Hey Dave, yes please get some pics. Very interested. Thanx.

 

I will be interested in purchasing the Aero Kit for my 2000 as soon as I get everything straightened out with my current mods, so I too am curious about the price Town North Nissan is charging for the kit. Will I need to purchase new splashguards? I will also be ordering the AE chrome door sill plates from you Dave. I look forward to contacting you in the future, due to your excellent customer service to so many Maxima.org members.

 

Please DAVE

Was it really necessary to spam four different threads with such a stupid question? It's called the CLASSIFIEDS section bud.
