i like it.. irish makes having a maxima fun...

 

Very nice, Irish! Very slick... Nice and subtle, just the way I like things!

 

I'd be curious to know if it has any effect, negative or positive, on engine cooling at highway speeds.

 

I dont think it would have any effects, unless it somehow helped push air into the lower grille to push more cool air on the radiator.

 

probably not much, since the lip doesn't redirect air anyplace into the engine bay. I would assume you're thinking of the lower air dams used in alot of track cars that direct more air into the front of the radiator.

That said, the Maxima actually has a very good cooling system and I don't really consider it an issue.

 

Looks good, but I like the one I built myself better.



I built it from scratch... Took about 40min.

 

I know the feeling. I built my entire car from scratch in about 3 hours. I just put Nissan badges on it for fun.

 

All I see is an ABS lip.

You should see my interior, it took me a single afternoon and an 18-pack to do.

 

It came out pretty good, but you put the wrong rims on it.. Those go on a G35....

Damn noobs...




























PS- can I have your rims?

 

Hell no....I forged those rims myself - then Infiniti copied them

 

Good, then you can make me a set... That explains why you have three sets of rims, you just make them yourself!

 

corvette's have these too !

 

sure do....though on the vettes they are farther back under the lip, just in front of the front wheels.

 

Nicely done irish. I had a SE-R and these were pretty popular with the Vboard crowd. Credit for matching it up to a maxima. Will this fit the same with an 02-03 bumper?

 

it may actually fit even better, since the 02-03 bumper is more squared on the edges.

 

Did you go through a wind tunnel with this on?

 

Looks good on the Subaru.

 

i like it a lot...great job

might even attempt to do this in addition to my stillen lip

 

like yayomax said, it looks like a thinner version of the lip that came on the second gens (check the sig pic on bottom right)or this pic, great idea and it looks nice on the newer max (with less air resistance as well, mine acts like a small air brake (see: dive-bomber air brake, almost as big)

 

You've got to be kidding me.

 

Already did this about 2 years ago lol.


I went ghetto and tried to paint it and fiberglass it. It does look better with a square flat bottom like my friends sentra:



Nice work though, I would have never thought of incorporating another car's lip onto ours. I think luda in the 4th gens used some other home depot stuff.

 

Nice little adaptation project. I think it looks good with the rounded 5th gen edges.

 

This makes me want to buy rain gutters from home depot, in true ORG fashion.

 

nice work !

 

I'm not 100% sure if i like it or not..i mean, from the front and up close it looks really good, but from the side, since the 5th gen bumpers are shaped like that, it looks too tucked in...Excellent idea, and it looks much more subtle than any of the lips available for the max, so

 

Haha, this reminds me of the ghetto lip that 4th gens made out of rubber molding. I don't know, I'm not feeling it too much, it looks like the rubber scrappers that most cars have underneath them more than anything else.

I saw that a few weeks ago, I thought it looked pretty good on the P11. Its ok on the 5th gen due to the corners not lining up, other than that its a nice low key addition.

Irish, still running the Taurus splitter thing? I think it can see it in one of the pix. If so, you probably dont need it anymore.

 

yeah, those Ghetto cars with the "rubber scrapers"

 

yeah, I need to take that off, I suppose Was too hot yesterday to stay under the car after doing this lip, changing out my camber plates, and swapping in a stage2 LTB for the stage1...

good link, btw. I guess I'm not as creative as I thought

 

Home Depot Mod King strikes again! I wonder what the next mod will be.

 

That looks great, you wouldn't happen to have a P/N for that lip or any other specific info? Thanks!

 

I'm not sure if it's the official ford part number or not, but scroll down the screen at http://www.gefracing.com/Merchant2/m...ory_Code=MACH1

and you'll see it about 10 items down the page.

 

good job, irish

 

Added to the How-To Sticky.

Nice alternative, Josh

 

Thank you.

 

your pictures dont work

 

I'll give you a hint...



also another shot of the mounting setup of the lip

Thats the cheapest ive found so far online

Sorry about that earlier this morning irish and thanks to who deleted the posts.

 

yeah I saw that place but they're out of stock (probably since they sell em so cheap!!)

Tim cleaned up the thread. Thanks Tim.

 

What are you doing with the camber plates? Why did you take them off?
