just saw my kamikaze body kit in early stages

Oh my god! just looking without paint, my boyz attached the components on to show me the potential...
they advised me that this is a great kit but will need some minor work
if you have seen this kit, it's nice but the front grills need additions and the rear is bulky.... We solved this with alterations like carbon fiber in the front grills and rounding off the rear "sqUARE EDGES"........ when i lifted the trunk lid i noticed the my guys placed my ZEX NOS tank in an enclosed matching carpeted corner... after looking at the potential and their dedication to my car, i told them if all fares well they will get my dealership buiz for custom harley-davidson paint conversions.... their incentive is blinding and I am so excited!
No one in colorado will match this maxima........!
rob pics coming soon

What part of Colorado? Zip code? Good shops are hard to find around these parts. As Timeeeh W. says, be back in 28hrs. or less. Actually probably more like 7-8hrs.

Did they suck in the sides on the rear? I'm not sure if it's possible with fiberglass, but the rear is TOO DAMN wide, for me at least.

Take lots of pictures of the kit and NOS PLEASE.

I've noticed on some pics of this kit that the rear wheel well area sticks out on the side more. does this just depend on the installer? ive seen pics of this kit on many cars and the kit looks better when it doesn't stick out so much.

No, that's the design. The picture angle will make it look different, but in person it sticks WAY out. The installer can't do anything different unless they modify the kit which might not be possible since it's fiberglass. I'm not positive though.

I've never had a problem with the front end...it's the best looking kit from the front. The rear is the problem...can't wait to see pics

hey guy thanks for the response
i am in colorado springs 80918
when they met my expectations and they did when i went there to see my fabricated grills with carbon fiber; i was thinking of telling them they must deal with my dealership (harley-davidson) and the side work must focus on nissan..... tell me what you want and i will set this up

arite the deal with the kamikaze kit for 5th generation maxiams is this..(ive gotten it like twice already)once a guy hit me from behind and the bumper cracked, i made him pay for EVERYTHING..installation included and the other time insurance covered on my huge accident. the bumper is an exact replacement so theres no real fitment issues. fiberglass is sometimes annoying though cause you know its not the strongest thing in the world..it cracks instead of having a dent. the sides stick out a little..not like SOOO MUCH that its unbearable. i think it still looks better than the stock bumper cause the stocks just too plain in my opinion..and those lights dont help either. i love the 4th gen light setup. im getting 18 in rims..offset of 40 so hpoefully that helps me otu a lil more. from the side back view, the car looks HOT..when youre standing DIRECTLY behind it..then you can see the rear flaring out at the sides..thas about it.

I really think if you went with 9-10" rear rims or spacers in the rear it would help a lot. It's just that it looks like a giant parachute. Those vents aren't there for looks, it's so the thing doesn't rip off at high speeds. Everyone has they're own taste and I'm glad your happy. I LOVE the front and sides, but the rear is a little much for my taste.

You don't have any options other than the $tealin rear, so far. I know a few on this board have talked about doing that, but I haven't seen any pics yet.

It just matters how close the sideskirts line up with the Stealin rear.
