I thought about that. I saw a 5th Gen Maxima like that as it wasnt bad. Also the Altima in the post above - #18- has that look. It seems a bit "chopped up." Look at the G/Z pics above and they have the same lip with the larger gap in front. Its more functional when the splitter goes across the front. The guy in the 4th Gen forum felt the splitter working at 50 mph and really felt it working at higher speeds. Chopping out the middle piece would minimize the functionality of the splitter.

 

oh alright, yeah i get what your'e saying - well i can't wait to see the final product keep us posted.

 

Hey Deus, off topic here but I couldn't resist! I found your PERFECT keychain! Black leather Nismo with red stitching! w00t!! FTMFW!!!

Thats actually pretty cool, . . but $15??

 

$20 with shipping!

That's not too bad considering at Nissan they're about the same price for the regular non-nismo keychains.

 

Hey Jess: Can you photoshop a proper-looking splitter on my car based on the pics?

Here are some with car on ground:

 

Sure could I get a few pics of the front of the car without the cardboard splitter? Maybe I can make one in photoshop for you, that way I don't have to work around the splitter.

 

u got it. coming right up. ill PM them to you, ok?

 

That'll work

 

Finished quick mock up here It may take me more time to do a side view though. So I might finish it for ya tonight!

I kind of did it to match with the stillen lip that you have. Let me know what you'd like changed or if it's good to go.

 

great work jess....

But .. im still not feeeling it...

dues ... u know u r going to rip that thing off really easy right? for sure here in cali ... LOL

 

ya i don't think it looks good with the stillin lip. but props for the work

 

I think it's a decent looking mock up. I don't even mind the turn buckles, although they would probably need to be a little "beefier" in all reality. Those look like twigs that could snap at the first sign of trouble LOL. Still, good photochop work Jess!


p.s. CF would be spensive, but SHWEEEET!!!

 

Good PS Jess. I prefer it straight across the front for more smooth subtle appearance.

 

Since when have you ever been SUBTLE Deus!!? HAHA

 

Oy, I figured someone would call me on that

 

No, no, no. Now it looks like Nissan is making a Combine.

 

the sharp edges stick out to much....props on the work....

 

It doesnt look very good with that bumper. I probably would be better on an 6.5gen max or the RLM bodykit

 

A+ for the effort.... Not so sure about how it looks though....

 

I definitely prefer the smoother look of a splitter that goes straight across.

 

Deus I can't get the wind splitter to look right for the side view

Corrected the front view of the splitter instead of all the angles...



And here's a website, they make custom ones too

make it shorter......shorter.....i tell you.....shorter!!!!

 

for trying. I think it will look good on your car.

 

The actual splitter will be rounder and prolly a bit shorter too. I plan on it sticking out about 2 inches, which isn't much

 

Something like this:

that looks nice for what your going for but I would try cutting the edges down closer to the bumper making it not so side like it has wings in the front

 

Good chop joe Ah yes it will look more subtle with only 2 inches of it sticking out. LoL mine was like out there, more wind splitting action! jk

 

Looks pretty dam good with that CF hood and splitter in chop.

 

I bet it would look great if done right, LOL now loose that wheel gap...

 

i don't know, deus - i'm honestly not feelin' it but to each his own. if it makes u happy and if you think it looks good, then go for it brother - i personally like the way ur car looks now. if you really wanna do the hood, then don't do the splitter - it doesn't flow with your stillen lip and in regards to the hood, avoid those side vents if u can, it looks better OEM. that's my opinion, rest is upto u G'Luck !

 

I think it matches your car but keep it suttle. Not many max's can pull it off....

 

Like I said, Ill keep it around 2 inches sticking out. I'd love to see Chern's ride with one of these.

 

much better........that looks really gooood

 

I want the hood!!!

 

I want the hood and splitter!!!

 

If you get a hood and splitter like that. I would hump your car.

That makes your car look absolutely amazing, there is no way you can call that a 6th gen maxima anymore. Both you and chern have taken it to another level and another level after that, thats just how impressive your cars are.

 

Thank you kindly. His would be quite a bit faster than mine since he has turbo.

 

How about being more aggressive and incorporating canards by up turning the splitter after it curves around to improve downforce around your front wheels?

 

I considered these but didn't because it seemed to aggressive . . yes believe it or not I do have my limitations. The bottom cannards look good and more streamlined, but still look a bit tacked on.
