Help deciding which bumper?

All right everybody, seeing I value my fellow Maxima owners opnion, I'm hoping to get input from all. My present bumper is chipped and I would rather replace it then repaint it. I want a bumper with the fogs in them so the Stillen is not an option.

My choices are either the Sarona or the RedlineMax. I like the Redline but I'm concerned about what I hear in regards to customer service. No to mention how long it might take to get it. I know I can get the Sarona within 2-3 weeks after placing the order. So weigh in and let me know.

That looks a little similar to the WRX spoiler. You can either go with that or a G35 spoiler. A few people on here have them, I know that Deus is one of them and will probaly chime in soon!

I'd say redline over sarona. I think both are a little too much for me at this stage, so i'll stick with stillen. But since thats not an option here, its redline.

well dude your in IL...and i don't kno how close that is to Chicago...buh chicago had some nasty *** pot holes. not as many as NY buh worst when u would hit it. and if thats the case i think you would destroy your bumper either way lik that. IMO. stillen all the way...buh if anything REDLINE MAX...worth the wait if soroma was your only other chose. sorry

Well at least you could wash off the donkey turds afterwards!!

And obviuosly I would choose the RLM bumper, duh! But not sure of the availability of them. There is supposed to be a new run coming made of a more flexible material. (I'm waiting for a new bumper to replace my damaged hard fiberglass version) But the bumper does sit pretty low, as it is designed right now, just an FYI.

I like the Redline Max bumper. It may be worth the wait.

Just scraping mostly, my car is so low with the coilovers that the bumper scrapes on driveways etc. I pretty much have it down now and don't really scrape anymore...

all you want is the front bumper?

if so don't get the sarona, that won't match with anything on the car by itself.

the Redline looks better by itself..


I wouldn't get any either, one, the sarona has a nasty rear bumper, and two, the Redline isn't a full kit yet..

the reason people don't get that lip spoiler is cause that company sells it for 300 bucks..

Don't believe that it will work, the headlights are shaped different. I can't see it being a direct replacement.

Funny you should mention that Tek, I went to Sarona's website and lo and behold there is RedlineMax's front bumper. I call to find out how much and they tell me that they are not selling yet because they are designing side skirts and a rear bumper for it.

The Saron front bumper is hot but without the skirts and the rear it would look a little retarded IMO. Get the whole package if you do it.

That's what I have just the production came out a bit different than that photoshop....they are supposed to be making a cleaner verion 2 of the bumper that will look more like the phothsop, but I'm not sure when.

You'll need to replace the bumper, grill, fenders, hood and headlights...

but, if you look at it, they say that that bumper is made by a company called concept, so who knows, it might be it, they just beat redline to it.
