oooooooooh yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!!! Hood's lookin hawt!!!!

 

Guys I need your help, (this is for the local guys in socal only,) does anyone have a front and rear bumper laying around that I can barrow for a couple of months until I get the new bumpers in I will really appreciate it,(and I will give you a discount if you decide to get one of the new bumpers or the hood,) I also need a hood, I thought I was able to handle 3 to 4 four months with out the max but im bending at the knees already

thanks in advance.

 

I have both front and rear you can use, they are silver but close enough...

 

are you doing the work yourself ?

 

nop Im subcontracting to another company, and J thanks!!!!, all I need now is a hood its going to be kind of hard finding one though.

 

What about the front bumper??? Are there any pics of it being made??

 

those are coming next week, front and rear.

 

who said me!

 

^^^^ hmm, need to see more to comment......

 

They are just hanging up in my garage, let me know when you want to come down.

 

Very Nice!! I see you mention there is a weight savings. Would you be able to get what the weight saving for the hood, front and rear bumpers? Thanks!

 

Good idea!, . I'll weigh Js bumpers when I get them, and I'll see if can get the guys at ED weigh the hood for me on monday.

J once again thanks a lot man, I'll prolly be getting the car back next friday or early next week, I've decided to buy a steel hood from egay for now, (they are like 130, not bad), I'll get a hold of you when ever the car is ready so I can go pick them up,
Thanks.

 

Thanks Bro! The weight is gonna be the determining factor for me if I'm gonna buy or not. I have no problem with the looks plus it will the newest body kit out there. I hope everything goes well for you!

 

Kevin weight savings on the bumper is going to average 35%, on the front bumper I expect to see somewhere around 50% due to the openings, bumpers usually weigh in at around 20lbs, so put it all together and we have a possible weight savings of 15 to 20lbs, dont quote me on this numbers, I expect to see more savings when I actually weigh the bumpers.


Also Carbon fiber hood is ready to pre order, but since im still not a vendor here, I cant actually post a thread about it, most of you know where to find me though, if not just pm me.

Great man, looking good, very good job. Must be nice to have your own B-shop..

 

Damn that CooCoo above looks badass!!!

 

Love the rear bumper, wonder if I'll be able to stuff my Remus mufflers through those holes???

Remus 2.5" Duel Turbo exhaust



1 Remus next to a GReddy SP-II catback exhaust before I cut it off for the Remus.

 

by looking at the stock tips(wrapped on paper), I'm sure they will fit, and actually be an almost perfect fit,

 

LOL, I'm thinking the same thing!!!

 

That hood is hot!

 

nice

 

 

That fromt bumper is coming out GREAT!!!

 

That is looking very nice! However, the bumper does look a bit low to the ground in these pics, and I remember you said you weren't lowered. On average springs lower the car's front 1.8 to 2".

 

ok guys, I did my math and this is what i came out with,
I was told the front bumper was sitting at ~5 1/8 the way it is right now, so when lowered it'll be at stupid 3 1/8" low, now remember im sitting on 19s, with 40 series, (I think), so with 20s it will go up .5" to 3.7" off the ground still really low, so I told them to bring the front up 1.25" from where its sitting right now, that will put us at around 5" with 20s and 4.75 with 19s, I think that would work out pretty good,
Jsmith's car is sitting at around 4.25 right now so we should be around .5" higher

 

Hmm - not sure if I like the front bumper.... loving the rear bumper though....

 

I understand your quote, I had a RLM bumper with a 2" Eibach drop thus had 4" of clearance up front, I've since have the bumper shave 1" and raised my D2 coilovers .5" over my Eibachs. Once complete my new front ride hieght is now 5-1/2". Street driving with 4" up front was a BIATCH!!!


Then...



Now shaved...

 

List for Front bumper who are def buying

1)JRoX85
2)Look-at-my-Max

 

Looking good so far... Do you have any new updates/pics? When do you think the whole thing will be completed? Are you keeping the color the same as original?

 

im interested.
jus curious on price, does it come painted, any special pricing if we get on the list?
asking before i put my name on the list
thanx

 

there will be special pricing for people on the list, specially the first 5 I will be asking for deposits though, stay tuned.

I still dont have any more pics, but Extreme Dimensions promised the finished prototype by this friday, we will see if the can do it, after that is done there is still a wait of 2.5 months.

 

I have to admit that I haven't read every post in this thread, but have you addressed the concern of water collecting in the hood depressions. Maybe black mesh where the rear facing fins are... or drill a series of Swiss Cheese holes? Just my 2 cents.

It looks great by the way. I am very jealous.

 

CJL read through the thread please. Yes it has been discussed and from my understanding it should be ok.

 

Id love to see updated pics!

 

I need to see the hood at least painted to decide for sure if I want it or not

 

Alright now,

Lets get back to work on this front bumper, now that everyone has seen the new 2009 maxima.

I personally don't like it, I thought it was ugly.

The back looks like an Altima, the front- nothing to get excited about,- and what's up with the center console? Very ugly!!!

So to get over my sadness, I'm looking forward to this new bumper, lets make it hot.

Like what I see so far, remember to cut 2" off the bottom for us in NY.

So for so good.

 

Looks real nice, but the front is a bit too much for my taste, the back is something id be interested in though

 

I agree with scrui. Is it possible to shrink the bumper across the board by about 2 inches? Before I go ahead with that suggestion, what foglights would fit in the openings. I'm guessing you're going for side openings large enough to fit the fogs?

 

Well I was planing on a specific fog light for the car, but since people have different opinions I decided to make that decision up to the owner, the way the holes are I'm sure they fit a wide variety of designs,
Also the bumper will be a little less wide and low than whats shown above
