O and yes its going to be a full bumper, 1. weight savings, 2. price would be about the same for a lip, 3 I gave me the chance to give the rear a little liposuction

 

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Thanks, I needed that!!!

 

Can we just buy the vents to be installed in the hood or is just going to be a complete molded hood option?

 

This is going to be a complete hood made out of carbon fiber, by carbon creations, the quality on their hoods is one of the highest out there, and just in case anyone has wondered, they do incorporate the pins so we can use our stock hood shocks.

 

LOL LOL I got my laughs as well. LOL But on a serious note though, isn't there a quicker more efficient way of transporting these items? ESPECIALLY THE LED TAILS? Have you thought about using something comparable to a:



Or perhaps something more aggresive?



Maybe something more subtle? LOL LOL LOL

 

1. does not exist anymore,

2. Gas is to expensive this days,

3. If you can get one of those in the US, I'll stop driving.


but really, Its just cheaper to ship by containers

 

This is true about containers. I ordered in 300 tool cases for my business, which measured 66x18x30 and shipping by a container only cost $12 each from china.

 

Maxxx: I just love those rims of yours!!!

 

A container trip from South China takes about 11-12 days to Long beach...FTR. Then you have customs to deal with which can add a few days on top of that.

 

I work in imp/exp industry and we ship mainly books. These things cost pennies per copy to ship. Most major publishers print books in Hong Kong. South China to Long Beach is 13 days. Like J said, customs clerance adds couple of days and hopefully US Customs doesn't request inspection, cause then you looking at both additional days and $$$.

The Air shipments are dying out, literally. The rates are "sky" high and the profit margins are minimal these days. Gone are the days where flat screen TVs were overnighted from Japan and Tommy Hilfiger air shipped his cargo.

 

this is for all the 07s out there, do any of you guys have a left over stock grill I can use to make a mold out of it, ? there is a monetary or a new grill compensation for whoever lets me have one. and the fact that you will be helping out you fellow 6.5 genners

 

I might be able to give mine up, if I order my grill this week...I'll let you know..Although I was wondering any chance we can get some kind of lip going for the 07..Our from end begs for some kind of sport lip..I know you got a lot going on though..thanks

 

depending on how many led tails I can sale, I might be able to start that lip for you guys as well.

 

well first pics for me to make changes before he finishes the rear bumper, opinions, overall I like it, there is a couple of things im going to change, look for those changes tomorrow.

 

Looks pretty good so far. Id like to see rear pics. How about an opening like the Stillen front, which gives it a wider look:


Any more pics would be really nice!! Good job so far.

 

yes I know, I do need a lot of pics to give me an idea on what to change; right now it looks like they only have one side, they want to get this side right before they do the other, but I will definitely ask for lots of pictures,

 

I also think that they should raise it up some. I think its making the rear look even more bulbous. The valence Im building will be about 3 inches higher than stock, which will make the rear less bulbous. In fact, I realized, I dont even like the Stillen valence since it is slightly lower than stock.

 

GO WITH THE FLAT, SMOOTH FINISH, THAT IS A SWEET KIT FOR THE MAX. LOVE THE LOOK. GREAT WORK!

 

Looks interesting so far. But PLEASE, try to make it in a way that it won't look like a Cuz if does endup looking like a ricer, I'll be ......

 

dont worry, I have taken as many anti rice classes as I could, at the end we should have a toned down version of this

 

Amazing!!

I cant wait to see the end product!!

 

Awesome! I don't know if DeusExMaxima was talking about the side of the bumper being raised up an inch or so right behind the wheel. I'm thinking that edge should be the same height as the sideskirt in the pic. Is your car lowered by any chance? I'm just cautious about that area scraping when leaving parking lots.

 

yeap, im aware of that area and thats exactly what im working on right now, so expect a photoshop later tonite.

and nop, im not lowered, correct me if im wrong but most of the after market springs will lower you about .5" right?

 

I couldn't answer that for you now. I'm making the jump to the 6th gen max soon. So I'm still trying to learn more about it.

 

Progress springs lower the car about 1.6 inches in front and .8 of an inch in back. Im lower more because I have lower profile tires than stock

 

Im talking about having the end of the bumper, at the wheel arch, having a raised vent like the Stillen does in the front as shown in that picture.

 

ait, guys,
from this




to this.

 

Looking great man, keep it up.

 

this is hot! Both the front and the rear are just phatt!

what about side skirts?

 

alright cool..cause I know a lot of us would be down to buy one..and I'm sure a lip would be much easier to make then a bumper..I found a guy who said he would make one, he was on the g35 forums..but I don't live in cali, and he needed a car to work on..so it kinda died..everything is coming out great by the way..hm might even take a bumper, considering its the only thing that would fit ha.

 

wow that acutally is looking good !

 

im lookin for the side marker overlays for an 04 max please somebody help

 

Niiiiiiiiiice. That looks haawwwwtttt.

 

want to bet I can make it look better...

 

Nice work

 

2 the Max what type of front bumper is that?

 

Thats the stock bumper with the stillen front lip added

 

boala

 

WoW! Hood is coming along great!!!! Cant wait!!

 

that s*** looks mean as hell
