New Front Lip / Bumper Replacement???

I am about to buy my front bumper or lip just having a hard time deciding. Give me your opinions on these and let me know what you think. Thanx...






Not sure about the seller on Ebay for this one.

well judging by the look you are going for, you should get the most aggressive one you can

the second one looks the best all the others just look riced out. maxima don't need ricey body kits it's too much of a luxury car for it IMO.

too bad that the max wont look as nice as ur accord did though... clean ****.

BTW, i just got some rx330 AFS with clear lenses


and to orgullo, get number 3 if you want to be different (from the looks of your car). No one has that bumper installed yet.

To each his own.

I think #5 most emulates the godzilla stance of the Skyline but there are probably other kits out there that can do this better.

I would go with a Max Tuning or Stillen front lip. I think everthing you have posted are just plain fugly on a Max. Of course, what do I know...I bought the Max because I like the looks of it stock.

I am going to go with the Stillen Classic Lip I think it flows the best with the sides and rear lip.

I really like the JDub kit but the cost of the front bumper + shipping + painting. Too much. Thanks for everyones opinion.

I can always count on Sooner to chime in on some "rice" comment.

That red car is pretty sick although what makes that bumper look good is the rest of the car being done as well, so i would just go with the stillen kit, clean and classy.

The Stillen front bumper (#4) has a nice look IMO...the custom maxima front bumper on the otherhand is disgusting (#5)....#2 is a really clean but it has to be matched with the corresponding pieces...

Maybe it's because you've been getting cheap bodykits in the past?

My Stillen bumper fits like OEM.
