Why don't you save up and buy the mods yourself? It'll make you respect them a whole lot more...
Well actually, I can only do things that they like too.. And my dad likes the R34 Body kit as well. And I am not just "ricing" it out.. I am also re-doing the whole interior because it looks horrible right now.

How did that give it away? And what's so funny, are you making fun of mustangs? They are great cars!

How about these mods:
Coilovers, stillen kit, headers & y pipe, full exhaust, tint, wheels?

I mean thats a good start.

I was stupid at one point and bought F1 style fenders. Didnt even fit at all. Wound up arguing with the owner of the shop and got 1/2 a refund and threw them in the trash.

No, there's absolutely nothing wrong with Mustangs. In fact, I love Cobras. I'd drive the **** out of one if I could afford it.

Dude, seriously...if you want to mod a car. Don't make your parents pay for it. Save up and buy them yourself. AND install them while you're at it. You'll have a whole new level of appreciation for the car.

Those mods sound good... I was thinking of doing a murdered out theme for the car and replacing the bulbs with brighter ones

Well, my parents were the one who came up with the idea to fix the Maxima up and mod it as well. I do plan to install and do most of the mods myself though I would pay for this, but I have no job as of now and am very busy with school. I may get a job over summer but until then, my parents will pay for the mods. And yes.. Cobras are nice. I would have got a cobra but the thing is, I got an 05 mustang gt last year with only 22,000 miles, which is not much, and the interior on the 05-09 mustangs are much better than the cobras.

Are you Turbo? Why do you need the huge empty space in the middle of the bumper for?

Put a mesh grille looking Home Depot POS there? Dont.
thats why they put that bumper on the r34 and r34 only because it came with a nice front mount to fill the space........not maximas

So if not maximas, then what car should the R34 Body kit go on..... IT WAS MADE FOR THE MAXIMAS AND IS ONLY DESIGNED TO GO ON A MAXIMA, it won't fit on any other cars.

I got a feeling that as soon as you put that kit on you're gonna hate it. And prepping/painting fiberglass and getting it to match the OEM color is gonna be a hell of a challenge.

Getting it looking proper like it was meant to be there without any paint defects or nasty fitment issues will cost you double whatever the body kit costs.

Murdered out is good. I won't tell you to get a Stillen kit or something because I doubt another "Typical .Org Maxima" is necessary on this board. Bring some unique ideas to the table, suggest to your parents some coilovers and start looking for rims with aggressive fitment that nobody here has. That would be a good start in the looks department.

I've got a hard time even looking for exterior upgrades for my car. Every single part that's on my car right now (aside from the rims) could be considered a performance upgrade

r34s..........no they were designed for r34 skylines, not maximas, which is why thats what they came on them and what they are named after. other companies just change up some body fitment and you can put it on any car and think it will look good.

For reference, i found a set of detailed instructions for the installation if you wanna go through with it.



Unwrap bumper.



Open dumpster lid and install.



Flee the scene.

I understand that you think the r34 bodykit will look cool.

Have you ever installed a body kit? It doesnt fit well without lost of modifications. And from what I have read you said that you would be the one installing it.

Funny thing is, if you look at some of the ebay seller they even say that the bodykits dont fit well.

Word of advice: Do what you want to do, just dont get F1 style fenders. They dont fit.
