I dont think that it would look good for my taste.... it looks too agressive, the most i would do is put the AE kit. I keep seeing 20th SE-A maximas, and i am jeoulous.

Even the stillen kit is to aggressive for me, i am that woodtrim, elegant kind of guy. I am looking into the Infiniti I30 side skirts.
ANyone know if they fit?

i got the front lip for free. Stillen was looking for a white 5th gen max to take pictures of the front lip.(their flagship car is black, hence the lines of the lip does not show up very well...)....
normally, the front lip will go for $355 and some change. so i took the lip and all i had to pay for was for the paint...which is slightly off with the bumper...one of the biggest disadvantage of owning a pearl-white max i guess...just too difficult to match the paint.

Now now there children, lets all play fair.

I was not trying to put it down, I was just pointing out that if he paid lots for the paint, he should consider taking it back to match a little better, since it seems to be a different shade, I know there are moany colors that are hard to match but many good paint shops can do a very good job.

i really like how it looks when your looking at it directly.

and that front lip is real nice.

the only think i still cant get used to are those 'gills' on the side. =\

maybe it will even out after you get everything.

the whole kit is the getting the front touring lip and the rest of the stillen kit...they do not have separate touring body kit for the car...

as far as the paint goes, i paid $200 for paint/install.
although it is a slight mismatch between the lip and the bumper, i also had to consider than pearl white isn't the easiest color to match paint. besides, the bodyshop tried painting the lip 2 times separately, and paint the front bumper and the lip for the 3rd time, so...can't blame them for it...the paint just comes out different on two different materials...just like metal and plastic...your bumper color is slightly off from your body paint...

How much lower does that kit make the car from the factory bumper? I think that would look real nice with the ninja side skirts and the stillen rear. What do you guys think? How much lower are the ninja sides than factory would it match up?

the front of the lip tilts upwards so the lip actually lowers the front about an inch i should say...near the wheel well, it lowers about 2 1/2 inches or so...
it should be a good fit, tho, mine was a prototype..it has little gaps on the side of the bumper...but i'm sure you can fix this problem with double-sided tapes..
