My wife and I are thinking of buying a four door car in the next few years and I never seriously considered buying a Maxima until I saw this 5th Generation Maxima today. It had this sleek body kit that totally made the car look clean and smooth. There didn't seem to be any scoops or other openings in the ground effects, they simply extended the cars lines further and accentuated the already sleek look. Does anyone have an idea as to which kit this might be? I'd like to see pictures, if possible.

Thanks!

What year was the car? On the trunk lid, any mention of "Anniversary Edition"?

'til he gets back.

The Anniversary Edition might be it, but I think it might be closer to the Stillen kit. It was this awesome deep blue color. The only comparison I can offer is the Sonic Blue Mustang color. I definitely didn't notice any badging, after ogling the body kit, the wheels caught my attention before he sped off. I was glad to hear the absence of noise from the exhaust as he drove off. That is definitely a four door car I could see myself driving whenever we needed the family car. Both my wife and I refuse to give up our sports cars (She: 1998 Camaro, Me: 1998 Mustang)

Get the 2k2 (255hp) and you'll still feel like your driving a sports car.

Have you driven one yet?

I haven't driven a 5th generation. I've driven my mother's 4th Gen, though and the cars are solid. Reliable, smooth, quiet, and definitely peppy. With 255hp, I bet it would make it even more fun. The only major qualm with performance is the FWD throttle steer that you get with cars with this much power. It's not as forgiveable as my RWD car. But it's not like I'm going to autox this thing (keep telling myself that - I might believe it). I just want something smooth and comfortable, with some style, for weekends going out to eat with friends, etc.

a large amount of the dreaded torque steer has been reined in with the VLSD (viscous limited slip differential) on the Anniversary Edition's and the HLSD (helical limited slip differential) on some 2002's.

it was probably a 2001 Anniversary Edition. Majestic blue was only available on the AEs until this year. now the 2002s come in Majestic Blue but i doubt you saw a 2002 with a stillen body kit on it yet.
