Shorter GTR FRONT BUMPER

Just wanted to post some pics on my GTR Front Bumper
slightly altered to a shorter height along the bottom. Last
week, I cut off 1 1/2inches maybe a tad bit more to avoid
any damages to the front GTR bumper. Now I can really play
around with the JIC Magic FLT-TAR coil-overs.

Here's the shorter version below:

Every Maxima should look like this. Think how many Maxima's they would have sold if they came like this out of the factory (or similar).

I agree, off the amber lens in the headlight housing and it will look even better.

HOT!!!

The GTR front bumper was cut all the way around.
I'm not to sure what wavy means. But some pics
capture a lot glare from the sun and the reflection
from the newly paved road etc... When I blacked
out my headlight housing I didn't want to clear the
amber lens quite yet. There something very unique
I have up my sleeve other then a clear lens or painting it black.



Thanks a lot for the comments guys.

Looks good. Wish I would have went with the first version and a cut. This 1.2 is no where near the quality of the first version.

I normally don't like spoilers on my rides.
But lately I've seen a few that would really
compliment the maxima's rear end. You know...
not to big yet not to small. I'll post a pic of
the spoiler that will be molded on the trunk in
a few weeks or so. And I really appreciate the
comments guys.

Mostly the cast was off when they molded the bumper. I'd recommend to stay with the original mold and provide a cut version to customers. Don't get me wrong, I love the bumper but it doesn't look anywhere near as good as the V1.



If you look at the photo below you'll see the two areas of concern. This can't be just chalked up to "requires more body work" even though I will this summer. This is a mold issue and I'm hoping for future customers this could be fixed.

A. & B. look completely different from the passenger side of the car. I've looked closely at your bumper and I don't see the same issue. Other than those two places and a sh*tty paint job (cause I went cheap ) I love the bumper. I plan on getting the stillen side skirts and rear lip, repaint and body work this summer. New 20's next fall (hopefully light weight). I already bottom out on speed bumps, even when I crawl over them. (effin houston) Stillen seems shorter than the GTR sides and back.

Enough about my woes. This thread is about your sick *ss ride.

You car is the reason I went this direction. I love ur max, bro!

NIce job with the shave- looks great, bro. Can't wait to see you slammed all the way.
Do you plan on filling in the holes with grille-matching mesh?

+1 If he does, I'd like to know where he gets the material from. I wanna do the same with matching material for the Stillen SS grille.

I think his grille is the E&G Classics mesh grille- very $$$. It'll probably be tough to find a matching sheet of mesh to cut.

I just ordered the Stillen Speed Scene grille in satin (will be here on Thursday) along with the lip. I recall a member using the Stillen grille from a '98 Max to fill the lower opening (I think it required a little modification, but it fit) and it looked sweet and matched perfectly.
