Sorry.....
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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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!

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!!

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?,

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
