Which Kit to Choose.

I have a Nissan Max 2K. I'm debating on the following 3 body kits:

AE body kit
Stillen body kit
Ninja body kit

#1 problem: I can't find any pictures of the AE body kit. Anyone know how it looks (especially compared to the other two) or does anyone have a pix i can look at? Can this only be attained at Nissan Dealerships?

#2 problem: I'm a little confused on the stillen body kit that's being offered on their web site. It's a different one than the one Y2Kev has on his car right? Can I purchase the old one still (if the one on Stillen's web site is a new body kit)?

Any suggestions would be most helpful.

Re: Which Kit to Choose.

Best choices in order:

Stillen sides and rear with touring lip
Ninja Kaminari kit

I saw a 2K-2K1 Maxima on the street with the Ninja kit and it looked amazing. Much cooler in person than in pictures I've seen. Didn't look too low to the ground either.

i'm in the same position like you, but i'm deciding to go with the Stillen Aero for $800. The one that Kevin has on his maxima.

The ae kit came on the 2k1's and you should have seen easy. To me it's looks smushed.

number 2...no

Stillen does have 2 front facia's though make sure you looking at the right one.

Which looks better? Your getting it you decide! But to me they all look ok, but none are that great.

I'm very biased toward the Ninja kit cause I just love it. To warn you though its made out of fiber glass, not eurthrane or however you spell it. The stillen is crach and break resistant for a lifetime which is good. I don't like the stillen aero but i do like the big mouth I think they call it. You also keep the side markers with the big mouth. try buybodykits.com for the ninja with pricing and of course stillen.com for the others happy hunting

1) The best thing to do is to go on http://maxima.cardomain.com and do a search for 2001 Maximas. There you should see plenty of AEs.

2) Yes, you can get the one Y2Kev has and in my opinion is the best looking kit available.

Thanx

Thanx everyone. I've been looking at tons of photos for the Ninja kit and I like it a lot. But honestly i'm slightly leaning towards to the Stillen. I'll give myself sometime to think about it. Anyone know a good place in the west coast to get it? Otherwise I'll have to resort to Avalon Racing.

Check out Irvine78's ride for great pictures of the Stillen body kit with touring lip.

You make that sound like a bad thing. Paul is the guy to talk to he will treat you right.
