Everytime I walk down the street in Manhattan (or any major metropolitan city) I see the potholes the construction etc...and it makes me cringe. I can't imagine driving my car through those streets! This is a whole other set of issues much different than simply steep driveways!!!

Sorry.....:topic:

This newest design looks way too much like the Altima (as GEC said) and way too much like the '07 Maxima.....I should have some designs done this week. If they turn out good I will share them with the group.

Nietzsche 04-24-2007 01:17 AM

I think it combines the good looks of the 06 and blends them with the lower fogs of the 07 very well. I don't see the Altima, but then again most people can mistake the two anyways.

I might be the only one but I like this bumper. Picture stolen from Ramberg's card domain page, hope he doesn't mind.

oooh, I got it. Little misunderstanding there. Yeah I want a body kit, but one that would stay on my car in NY, if its too low, peeps down here will have it destroyed in no time. :sadpace:

06maxSE 04-25-2007 12:00 PM

that body kit is nice how much would the kit go for and where would someone have to buy it from?

mr.b 05-27-2007 06:57 PM

SO where is this kit at in the dev process? Everything is Photoshop. I just got clipped in the front left and I need to get a new bumper. I might as well get a kit if I'm going to spend the money. Holla'

chulo69cru 05-27-2007 07:59 PM

thats sick bro..

eK9aT10pSi 05-27-2007 10:03 PM

updates on the new urethane bumper?

Glude 05-28-2007 10:43 AM

Im REALLY diggin' this front bumper if anything comes of it.

Ritz 05-28-2007 11:02 PM

I think it's still in it's design phase... nothing real solid yet, from what I can tell.. it'll probably be a while though.. quality parts take time..

jsmithsole 05-28-2007 11:12 PM

There has been no decision on design as of yet...

rudeboy64r1 05-29-2007 06:05 AM

Finally a nice looking bumper!!!!!... But i Do agree with the comment stated earlier...."Someone needs to make a nice front lip"

Outlawd 05-31-2007 08:55 AM

Focus on a nice simple poly lip kit also. As if it came from nissan.

very slick looking..... how much?

which one you referring to?

and nothing's made yet, but it will be a very fair price, since it's being made/designed by 6th gen owners.

Elimackman 06-04-2007 08:46 PM

What do people think about this kit?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-05...18259885QQrdZ1

JoeA04Maxima 06-05-2007 06:28 AM

too much over the top, the design theme of that kit on ebay does not match that of the original lines of the car. The car has classy lines, that kit cheese's it up bigtime. A good body kit will stick with the hard, sharp lines. Not the waivy / bubbly features.

That's the Sarona kit, too over the top for me and rear has 3 nasty vent holes...

It kills me to see bad roads get finally fixed and two days later another crew moves in to lay fiber/pipes/etc. and destroy the road that they won't patch and the city won't fix for another 5-7 years. There are roads here that one day are "autobahn" quality and the very next day you leave your wheel in it and half the suspension. It kills me that nobody fixes this sheet, people just break their cars day by day and it only gets fixed when a major accident happens and the city gets sued. I have been to all the states around here and have not seen anything even remotely as bad as roads in NY. And if anyone gets on with a smart remark about roads being sheety in poor neighborhoods, try explaining the craters/canyons in Manhattan.

I lived and still travel to NYC and my family is in the city, I will guarantee the roads are just as bad in Manhattan as they are in the other 4 boroughs. That's why I drive my SUV when visiting. Check out the VID that my boy ramberg shot of me getting into my driveway, watch the rear wheel leave the ground. Mostly every ground effects kit requires a whole new style of driving...

I like it keep it higher and would like the left small open area molded on the inside to be able to hook a flexible piping to supply cool air directly to the cai . This way you cai won't be getting all the crap splashed/dirt directly onto the air filter in the fenderwell.

saxima 06-21-2007 04:31 AM

boy, I would love to have one of these sets, but if you guys only seen what I have to cross on my way home every day..ill have to take a pic. its a gnarly set of tracks up a fairly steep incline and an immediate drop off after them. I have to make everyone in the back seat get out as i go over it, as I will bottom out no matter how slow I go. I really can't wait to move up outta hea!

rabit 06-21-2007 02:05 PM

looks good...cant wait to see the final product.

GrimMax 06-26-2007 06:52 PM

Yeah I like it too!! Cant have a kit were I live, Roads are like roller coasters here!! lolol

I think the redline does have its advantages as to how well the grille looks. But all in all, If I could, I would surely pick this kit up as long as my car can push 350hp or something. The kit looks like something battman would have. lololol

Good Job!!

MAX2DAMAX 06-26-2007 08:00 PM

Ok, dont have photoshop on this computer, so I used paint, but you get the idea, some clean this up and ad the 4.1 grill, I like this design the best, specially the vertical turn signals?, maybe put grills in that area, that almost cover up the turn signals, a grill in the middle part?,

mightymax5 06-27-2007 09:04 AM

front bumper
 
I like MAX2DAMAX'S idea with a little extra lip added at the bottom from the first bumper picture . I also prefer the eubuni/ sarona sides skirts and just a rear bumper valance to match . Make and I'll buy one!

I've seen the video awhile back and was shocked. Every now and then I do that on a steep ramp and tell my girl to step out just to see it. Its funny to say the least.

And yeah Chern, good choice on taking the SUV to the big apple. Either your kit would be at stake or you wouldn't drive much.

scrui 07-06-2007 10:59 AM

any word on the new bumper ?

Somebody's got to do this bumper, it is so nice!!!!! I would absolutely buy it for my car.

mr.b 07-09-2007 07:43 AM

I'm seriously getting ready to sell my car if a kit doesn't come out very soon. The 3 that are available just aren't doing it for me aside from the Redline I think it is. I hate the front of my 04' and it was my plan to change that right way only to be limited to 2 kits the day I got it.

SickSE 07-09-2007 07:49 AM

Seriously, you do not put bodykits on maximas!!! Can't stand the way that looks.:banghead:

I'll agree that radical kits look horrible, in my opinion.... but the 04-06's could use a little freshening up... nothing crazy though... and that's what this thread was started over.. a mild refreshed kit..

I'll open up photoshop and see if I can come up with a combo of the max and 350z bumper from the pics above.

Ritz 07-10-2007 12:03 AM

what is that bumper in the last few posts? it kinda looks like a Z but it's different....

mr.b 07-10-2007 04:58 AM

I don't want a full or radical kit wither! Just a new bumper/lip and grill. The front of my 04 looks like AZZ.

mr.b 07-10-2007 05:00 AM

As a matter of fact even something as clean and understated as this would be PERFECT (minus the Cadi logo)

reply on kit
 
so whats the whole deal with this kit im really interested. just want too know exactly when this kit might come out. I love the way it looks right now.

JoeA04Maxima 07-10-2007 09:10 AM

I really like the look of that silver cars kit shown above, i dont think it is that overboard at all. It really compliments the sharp lines of the car. I think every other body kit out right now looks like an afterthought or makes the car look to much like an Altima.

Why would this guy above leave the Cadi logo attached to that grille? if your going to go through the work of making the grille fit at least replace the logo with a Nissan one.

Ritz 07-10-2007 12:02 PM

photoshopped that one above.. colors don't quite match up, but it's good enough.
