Reece can you post the stock photo so we can see the detail in differences? Doesn't look like any MAJOR changes but not too shabby.

Max2 That is sharp bro. I'm digging that front end/lip combo. Hell the stock'ish looking grill w/out the ugly center bar even looks pretty damn decent too!

MAX2DAMAX,
I like the first one, it looks awesome, looks sporty, but not to out there, keep the bottom at a good height, not to low. live in NY.
Remember, keep the bumper tastefull, now we need some fog lights.
Man I think you are going on the right direction.
now about the $500 price tag, does it come painted ?

I know some people are not feeling some of the aspects of this bumper, and believe me, your opinions are more than welcome, lets get something we all like, price wise, im hoping to keep it in the 500 to 550 range, thats mostly because of the grill, then the lights,

It will prolly come with a detachable center piece, (the upside down t) you get two bumper for the price of one!, if I can get a cheap way to make more we can keep designing more center pieces to change the look every now and then.

Well guys, no much more to say, expect this to be out in january or feb next year.

this is what it should look like, we might change some things in the molding process but this is what im shooting for.


photoshopers use this image to add your own grill design for the center piece
First of all, hats off to the efforts and the idea, great job. As for myself, I actually don't mind that it looks like an Audi gril, because the center part will look more like the Gtr's center grill. I do like that the entire bumper will suffice for the sporty look and will not require yet another piece (lip) which will inevitably make it look like just another boy racer honda civic. If this was conceptualized (of course i would like to see an actual finished product) I would definitely buy it for my 06.

Well the good news is that its looking more attractive, and the price is going down without that huge grill, I dont have to worry about getting one made specially for us, so my next guesstimate is 400ish


And hmr 1979, looks like that design is out the door, i've been getting to many mixed reviews, so im leaning towards popular demand, wich is the latest drawings, I would really love to see that design in the future but right now it got too complicated and there was not enough interest on it.

Now that's pretty damn schweet. Obviously our grills would look better (AT & Redlines anyways) and the yellowish has to go, but structurally that looks DAMN good. Easily the best looking front end I've seen on a 6th gen so far.

I can commit to buy, put down a deposit or whatever else is needed given the bumper design is stylish. I prefer something like this

I like this one the best with our grille ! I have the funds to buy only if it is made! You could have optional fog light inserts (same size) orderable so you could order with the round fogs or slanted to match the flow of the head lights.

I think the round fogs pic looks great! Do you think you could photoshop my ride? I want to save it to my desktop at work.

to me this one is the one, I wont lie I like the bumper to be as clean stock looking as possible, lips and some other things could be added to it, if you wish to be a bit more extreme.



and some more.

The one problem with having such good looking body kits with the Maxima is the roof. The roof looks entirely to high for body kits. Let me explain....

The body kit would look great and fit in if the roof was lower and more low pro. Sort of how the 300's roof looks. The Maxima roof is entirely to "bulky" and not as aerodynamic as the front would look with any bumper and it clashes.

Just my opinion though...

If someone could photochop the roof down then add the bumper....

I think it would look very good then.

yea it might look better on photoshop, but no one's gonna go out and spend all the money to give their car a chop top just to make the bumper look better...

someone would just need to design a bumper that looks good for the car

seems like everything looks like everything else, since I started doing this I've been looking at every car's bumper out there, and trust me you'd be surprised, actually the last bumper has lots of Honda Odyssey on it...

Yeah I agree that a project like that would cost some good money.

Not just to make a bumper look good. Even without a kit, I think it would look really good.

Yes I agree with you about the design. The bumper or whatever will really need to fit the car. Something low pro....

Thats why I think the Stillen Kit is the best so far. It sustains the look of luxury but also sporty at the same time because its very low pro and fits well with how the roof is sort of "bubbled" lol

Not too crazy about the look, it looks like 300m and Audi front grill, but good luck with it.

how does duraflex material sounds like? (working on it.)

and since looks like everyone has their own likes and dislikes, im going to go with a simple yet sporty design, not too out there not to in there, for those of you who like the little crests on the "camry" like bumper aswell as the round fogs, those can be made later and be adapted to this bumper, or at least thats the plan,

here is what im leaning towards. (I know its been posted before, but with the wheels and lowered it just looks soooo clean.



Lets do a list for this one..

I like it, i will definetly consider / buy it it if it's not too low to the ground as shown, if you make it the same height as the stock or maybe an inch or two lower.

good luck.

Looks nice overall -- however, still too much "camry" in the bumper style, imho, of course....

It looks great but needs to up 2 inches and keep the front spoiler lip. The bumber is starting to look like the redline bumper without the lip.
