personally not a fan, that weird bulge on the corners would drive me crazy plus you lose your fog lights it looks like.

i love the way the stillen lip looks! i would stick with that

This is the JDub body kit that was made for our cars for a really short time by someone who was a member of the org.

he has changed some things around, wheels are different and so are the side makers. not to mention that big silver thing in the front of the car...not listed on the mods

i think it looks sick! definitely alot better in the link posted by nissanman97 its cool to see something different for a change other than the stillen kit. this doesnt look too bad i think it would look kinda stupid without the intercooler tho. definitely needs some kinda fog maybe like how the audi ones are with the black housings surrounded by the small fog something like this

I agree. The kit doesnt look that bad. It is a different route than an AE kit or an Stillen kit etc.
But without an intercooler it will look gaudy on a car.
What's with the crease on the sides of the front bumper.
I'd rock it. Only with an aftermarket paint job tho.
Just my $.02

ty for feedback. well im in the FLUX car club and im gonna be putting my car in shows like DUB, Remix stuff like that. and i was thinking maybe a body kit would help me stand out some but i didnt want something to crazy and i agree those lines on front bumper are ugly but i mean they can be covered up easy and im not planning on leaving it as a daily driver bumper just for show and keep my oem bumper with stillen lip. but just not sure yet. i really like it and i can probably get the bumper for like 100-140 which is not bad and maybe just getting a lip for the back and modifying that too. like the way that guy that did the photoshop dual muffler thing. i just wanna hear someone say get it itll look sick!!! lol but at the same time i dont lol.

yeah i agree it might look a lil weird without intercooler but i mean i can always put one on even if its not running to anything i can get those super cheap. but that would be ghetto lol. but what if i get an abs type grill for that like a mesh style in black that way it doesnt look like a big hole and u wont be able to see thru it as much as a cheap metal mesh grill. and thanks for saying u like it.(LILMAN AND BIGPOPPAJ) i agree its nice to see something other then the stillen and ae lips. im gonna get it but just for shows dont know how low im gonna go on my car so just holding off on leaving it on and ill probably get a carbonfiber diffuser under it so that it doesnt crack the fiberglass unless someone can help me find it in urethane i dont mind spending more for something thatll last longer. and car is going to be sprayed a completly different color. debating on Lexus pearl white. or candy apple red. what do u guys think can that bumper pass for vip? its not to dramatic with lots of curves and stuff. pretty straight. cuz thats what i wanna do vip style. im looking into getting some 19x10.5 inch wheels and getting the fenders widened to fit that just like this guys!

I don't think you can get it anymore.

JDub only made a handful of them. They show up in the classifieds from time to time.

There were two listings at exactly the same time in the classifieds. It was kind of weird.

I don't know if they've been sold or not. Did you see that chopped version of the Stillen rear lip in that dual muffler thread? That's what I want.

That front would be perfect if the lip on it was more aggressive.

But I'd stab, shoot, and rob to have that rear bumper. I would even buy a GReddy Evo2 muffler to finish out the look back there.

There's more here than a simple kit. The fenders are flared. And done so in a way as to make the wheels look narrow, which is nuts. IDK... looks kind of goofy. The soup can sure doesn't help matters.

when i saw the pics something looked off. so i studied it and i don't know if its photo'd or if they actually did it but it looks like the front fenders and rear 1/4s are flared out. i checked mine and my rear doesn't have the wheel arches flare out like that. is it me or does anyone else notice that. also i think the front lip spoiler would look way better. not feeling the color, with that nose it would look better in a standard color such as black, silver, gray, maybe even white. i don't like the side skirts either but i wish there was more pics of the spoiler.. that has me intrigued.

i see Rochester noticed it too. i am gonna call a fake and say photod. the front and rear bumpers meet perfectly with the flares. so unless someone did extensive body work which isnt hard to believe.. kinda envy the flares. gives it that agressive look like the MB sl65

There's some pictures of other 5th gens with JDub kits, if somebody wants to look into it, and see what the front/rear bumpers are setup like.

When you say they still make the front bumper, are you talking about the ones on eBay for like $150 that are made out of fiberglass?

Not feeling the rear bumper. The rest of the kit looks very nice. I was looking over his mods and didn't see a turbo or sc set-up. Am I missing something here?

I'm guessing his site hasn't been updated in a while. Pretty positive it's the same car, though.

With all the combinations of colors, spoilers, rims, etc, I doubt there are two Maximas running around in the U.S. that look like this.

Although I suppose it is a possibility...
