Thanks, an the kit looks even better in person.
Max2damax & ezkoncepts did a really good job.
This is my first kit every an if feels really good
b/c I've heard horror stories about cheap body-
kits. But this kit is by far NOT CHEAPLY MADE @ all.
Great price for this GTR Kit as well.

the kit looks good...very radical and I think VERY hot...it looks really low on clearance though..are you lowered?...gotta watch the leading edge of the rear bumper...if that snags on anything its bye bye bumper...I have the same issue with my sarona rear bumper

Thanks, I've weighed that possibility of the rear bumper
clearance. It looks really low in grass & soft dirt terrain
but it's fine. Today, I started making my custom grille
for the front end of my kit. Should be done in a few days.

Guys.... I have to take the wheels off this weekend
so that I can perform some minor modifications. Should
I shoot the calipers "RED HOT" or leave them blue? Over
kill on a car looks terrible!! So, what color do you guys
think would look tasteful yet sporty @ the same time?

Not crazy about the rear bumper but loving everything else. Do you think it would be possible to get just the front? Well nevermind since you are here in Jamlando, I don't want people to think I'm copying you. Looks good though...keep it up!

This is the best shot of your car looks do Fgn hott man great job. Get the grill and you are golden. Paint the calipers blue like the car. I really don't like the red. MM maybe gold would be nice..

Had to comment and bump for a great looking 6th gen. I am tempted to get the GTR kit (at least the front) and match with with a diff rear end.. I'd be too afraid of bottoming out though (especially in massachusetts the roads SUCK here)

Thanks guys, I recieved the kit @ the beginning of the week back in October 2008 and had it painted by that following Monday. A good friend of mine has his own Mechanic & Auto Body Shop which helped me out with everything. How much it cost me to complete everything I couldn't tell you off the top of my mind right now. I'll definitely follow-up with that answer though!! Also, I recently installed JIC Magic FLT-TAR coilovers which changed the over-all stance/appearance. Pics will be posted up by Friday or Saturday

That is hot bro. It's a little too much for my personality but it does look very good. Yo are you paranoid about being that low? I would be nervous about bottoming out with the new kit man.

Hey, I understand that it's not every one's taste. "That's why I'm glad where all one of a kind ". At first I was extremely skeptical about purchasing the kit due to the front bumper. Super steep driveways/parking lots are my only concern" I mean really steep". Rough terrains, good size speed bumps, regular driveways, manhole covers, etc..... are just fine. OH! I can't pull over parking curbs either but who cares as long as I'm well within the lane anyways. I've been driving my maxima with the GTR-Kit since October of 2008 and everything is copacetic. I don't worry @ all !!!

After shaving the RLM bumper and adjusting coilover height, I now have 5-1/2" clearance up front.

You're welcome, maybe a bronze with dark lettering. On a side note when I was one of the first to install the Redlinemax bumper on a dropped car, clearance was the first issue I brought up when the GTR kit was made. Check out this 2006 Youtube video of my car on my driveway before I shaved it. Initially I only had 4" of clearance up front. Watch my back wheel when going up my driveway due to the angle I had to approach! Overall I had to relearn how to drive the car and stay well back of curbs and bump-stops in parking lots when parking my car nose in!!!

I'm really debating whether to cut the front bumper this weekend. So that I can have just a little bit more clearance as well. Chernmax, how are the D2 coil-over working for ya man? The ride looks superb!!!

Car looking good. Especially the pic on the street. Very shiny.
It's the clearance that has always had me worried with this kit. I think they are doing a kit that's a little shorter right?

Your correct, all the new GTR Front bumpers are like 2 inches shorter then the original ones.
If you purchased the original style GTR front bumper that was much longer, it's really easy
to fabricate it to a desired height. Also, I hate having a super dirty car so I'm pretty ****
about it staying waxed & cleaned majority of the time. Going to find a good spot to take
pics today with the ride sitting much lower on the JIC MAGIC FLT-TAR coilovers. I'll be back in a bit!!!
