01 Body Kit advice

Hey, guys,

Im in peru for another few weeks but was thinking of ordering a body kit when I was here, can anyone tell me the differences.
I was looking at ordering from this site.

http://www.bodykits.com/nissan-maxim...1450_1451.html

http://www.bodykits.com/nissan-maxim...t-p-36888.html

It says combat 1 style.

http://www.bodykits.com/0002-nissan-...t-p-32955.html

Kombat syle.

Whats the difference there is like a $200 difference.

Or what Kits do you guys suggest,

Pics would be great thanks.

To be honest Im just not feeling the kits you suggested, nor any kits currently available for the Maxima. Perhaps they look better painted/in person.

Those are all rice IMO, but to each his own. Alot of guys including myself would recommend the Stillen Lips and skirts.

all full bumpers for our cars are rice.
the stillen lip is the only decent looking thing you can do to the bumper

It doesn't really matter if we like it or not it's what you like that counts, but consider it is fiberglass which is suspect to cracking etc, any significant hit and it'll pretty much explode, if doesn't and just splits it looks even more like crap, plus the fitment is usually quite poor. Finally the cost of installing plus painting is going to be big $$$$

At least with the Stillen and or Maxtunning front lips etc they are polyurethane so they are flexible and won't shatter if bumped on a parking lot curb or WHY, good luck

those are all the same, but you can also buy the same ones on ebay for cheaper. the only difference with those is who stole the design first. if you want one of those i suggest getting the front bumper and skirts, then going with a stillen rear lip.

stillen lips sets are for closed minded people that think all cars should look the same, good with what YOU think looks good. i really think you should go look at sets on ebay, at least then youll know what they look like. theres more than just that one

Yeah you do bring up a very good point, its up to the owner of the car whether he gets the kit or not i guess, its their choice.

The stillen front bumper is made of polly urethane

and yes jdub's kit looks sexy even though its fiberglass (i think) id get it, see if he still has anymore.

id buy off ebay, its the exact same kit from the same manufacturer. and as to the fiberglass thing, i have had a fiberglass bumper for a while now and dont have any problems. yeah if you run into something it gets broken...but who runs into things? mine still has great paint and no cracks.

As far as differences there is no difference in materials just style.

Choices are a good thing, wether we like them or not is irrelevant, that's why they're choices

hey, send me a pm... automax_95 is handling all the sales of this kit now for the time being... you can check the group deal section. We manufacture about 3-4 kits at a time, so we are usually never sold out, but these are not large batch order kits which often cause irregular fitment...

anyways, let me know if you have any questions...

thanks
