just kidding everyone I removed the front and rear bumper and sent them out to a body shop to have them repainted and have them install the 4 piece stillen lip kit. they are going to mold the front lip to the front bumper repaint front and rear bumper and install everything i'll post pictures when everything is finished. the front grill is getting repainted in black.

 

was about to say thieves gettin more serious.

 

You aren't driving around town like that, are you??!!

 

cant wait for the after pics - that grill should look quite nice..

 

Are you seriously driving that car without any bumpers? I suppose the actual bumper is still there, just not it's pretty covering.

 

Looks better without the bumpers, looks even meaner now! Very rugged look. That may be my next mod! Does the car feel any lighter without the "plastic" bumpers?

 

I'm not driving anything around right now and no I'm not driving the maxima around town. ya its going to lookg good with the stillen lip kit and the black grill

 

Hey Absoundlab: How do you remove the rear bumper? I'm about to replace my bumper and would like to know.

 

first remove the carpet in the trunk everywhere and then on the inner quarter panel there are some 10mm bolts abd then like by the tail lights there are some more bolts and then in the center of the trunk there are some more bolts and then that's about it for the trunk next in the rear wheel wells there are 10mm bolys and the under side of the bumper there are screws after all that is done remove the bumper and then pop out the bumper lights

 

hahha, you just probably put some bad karma on yourself with this thread.

 

haha that's pretty funny but if someone can steal my bumpers they can have it

 

hey at least it would be easier to take that pretty lil optima poking out now

 

haha ya the hood is open right now make sure to bring an alan key set to take the battery terminals off

 

Sweet. That's going to look pretty good molded on there. I wish my kit was molded on.

Oh and since you have the front bumper/grille off, you might as well swap out that wimpy OEM horn for somethine better.

 

That's not funny!!! hehe
