Since he has not mentioned it, I can say he has not been reading the thread. But if he can read the thread he will see that some of us are willing to buy the bumper for him. I still have my $10 ready to contribute. I mean, I know giving up $10 is not going to make me go broke. Atleast, I know I am contributing for a cause that hopefully will yeild some good results.

Here is my $10. Waiting to be put towards this lip. Can he say something about this route? Or is he going to the junk yard first and if he cannot find it, then ask us to chip in? Cali, say something.
i did read ALL the thread and i already know you guys said you would chip in for a bumper but there's no harm in checking to see if i can find one locally instead of paying for a new one, plus shipping, etc...chances are i WILL need you guys to chip in for one since you dont see many newer maximas in junk yards.

if somebody can link me to a place to purchase the lip we're to mod, it would help me out to get this moving.

once i've sourced the lip and bumper, then i'll ask you guys to chip in to purchase them, mod it to fit, and THEN collect down payments for individual orders.

Yes, that's the lip we decided on Noel. The lip is made by Stillen, not Mugen and here is the link to it. Also, if you have keystone or certifit around your area, brand new bumper will run around 109 with taxes.

Keystone automotive, not sure how far from you but here you go.

Thanks for the link! there's a location about 12 miles from me.

The lip is 225 shipped so means i would have to collect $22.50 from 10 people to purchase this and then add $11 each to cover the cost of the bumper so $33.50 in total plus 3% for paypal fees.

Given we still have the 10 people interested, i'll start collecting deposits on monday.

Man, I was willing to give but $10 for the bumper. Didn't know we had to buy the lip instead.

Oh well, I will like to see this project completed. So, I have the $22.50 available. Add my name to list. And I will propose that for the people that contribute, if there is anyway we could get a discount, please, do not hesitate to extend to us. If it is not possible, do not sweat. This is a good cause.

There have been some abandoned lip projects. I will like to see this lip project completed.

We have to buy the lip and bumper. If someone was there local to him, we would not have to buy a bumper but since there's no one. How do you expect him to make the lip fit our bumper??

Unless more people step up, this project is not going to go anywhere. I give it until next Friday(4/2/10). If we don't have 10 people by then, Im just going to back out and do my own.

I just looked at it. But cannot fully admire it because it is just one pic and the angle is not that good. So, could not get all the beauty of the lip.

Why don't you show us very well? Take more pics and put in your album? Or post a couple of pics on this thread? Or do you have a cardomain page? Post link so we can see more pics.

And give some more details to help us know exactly if its from coupe or 4-door.

This is for 07-08 bumper only. Not 04-06. I believe there's a thread dedicated to 04-06 people.

the $32.50 you guys contribute for the bumper AND lip is counted towards the price of the final product; it's not just given away.

i simply cannot purchase these parts out of my own pocket; there's been way too many instances in which i do with the promise of at least 10 people only to never even collect 5.

Honestly, I am thinking this will scare some diehard fans of this lip. I did not know we had to contribute $32.50 a piece. Are the guys on the list aware of this? I'm just saying. It went from $10 to $22.50 to $32.50. That is a little high, honestly. Well, let the other guys chime in on this fact and let us see. This is high, but I will contribute my own $32.50, if there are 9 other guys willing to pay it too.

$10 was to buy the bumper, nothing else, this was being discussed before we decided on a lip. You can donate your bumper and then scratch the 10 dollars off the list, otherwise keep reading. He also has to buy the lip. How do you expect anyone to make this if they don't have a bumper and a lip. The bumper will run around $125 and the lip is $225. You follow??? I hope so, How much is that total??? Like what, $350??

$22.50(Lip) + $10(bumper) = $32.50 so there was no $10 at first, then $22.50 and now $32.50, He just broke it down. Now, $32.50 X 10 People = $325. If this lip doesn't get going is because morons like you that have no idea about what goes in doing something like this. If this is too much money for you then GTFO, we don't need you. Just do me a favor and stop talking out of your *** and insulting my guy. Unlike the other GB, my guy will make this fast, a great looking lip and no one will have to wonder a year later if they got ripped off. This guy is doing a favor for me so if you don't like the prices then jump on the other GB.

If there is anything I should say, it is, you should kindly stop using curse words where they are not called for. Without going towards arguing back and forth like girls, I will be a mature gen and say, re-read my post. I did not curse in my post. Neither did I bash at anyone for whatever reason.
It says in simple plain english that you can read and write. "This is high, but I will contribute my own $32.50, if there are 9 other guys willing to pay too." So, it would be nice of you to include my name on the list.

I expect all of us on here are very mature, and atleast are friendly towards each other. Let us be respectful towards each other.

It takes a lot for someone to dedicate their time, money and energy to carry out a project like this for a group. Sometimes, the person goes a long way to make personal financial sacrifices through personal investment into his work. Other times, like in this situation, we come together and lend a helping hand to make it easier to achieve our goal.

So to Cali and all involved one way or the other, working towards the realization of this project, I congratulate all and I would be glad to contribute to the best of my ability. Keep up the good work.

Looking forward to a great lip.

Back to the list, who is next to get on board?

Im a man of my word and said that Friday April 2nd, I would back out if there we didn't have 10 people. I see no more interest in this and we have had plenty of time to get 10 people, so Im out. I will make my own lip. My friend will still make it for you guys if you guys come up with 10 people any time soon. I did all I can do to get this project going but with folks not wanting to take a chance and step up, I can't force people. Good luck guys!!

Now wait a minute. Your buddy has agreed to help us and you want to back out, abandon us and your buddy? Who else is as close to him as you are? I don't think anyone. So, if there is anybody that could contact him the fastest to discuss about this lip, it would be you. So, get back here and take your seat on the list. Let's get this lip done.

I know a lot of people would like to see this lip. I can tell from the numerous views this thread has. But guys, we need only 10 people to make a sacrifice of $32.50 each so someone, Cali, can sacrifice his time and energy to produce something that we would like. In fact, the list needs only 4 people. Can you guys be nice enough to chip in?

Waiting on some good hearted volunteers...

Fine! Be that way...lol Come on guys, 3 more people. Also, that 32.50 is not extra, it will be deducted from the final price. The reason my guy has not been able to give a final price is because he needs to get the bumper and lip first and see what's involved in making it work with our 6.5 fronts. Once he gets those two, he will let us know. It will not be very expensive though, but considering that there are no good looking lips out there, why not be part of the first 10 to have this sweet a$$ lip?

The only issue I see in making this lip is this. The Altima has a round bumper, all around. Our Maxima has that piece where the opening is that sticks out, where the bottom grill is. Other then that, everything is the same, even the body lines that go around the fender match, that's why I want this lip. It will look almost like it came that way and it wraps around the outside, not on the bottom like the other one. I have had experince with Fiberglass in front and that low and the end result is not pretty. All it takes is oe time to miss something and it's cracked and done.

If one more person will commit, I will pay for the two left over plus mine. So 3 total just to get this show on the road. I want to make sure that everyone has paid there part before I shell out for the 3 though so someone doesnt back out. I really would like to see this getting made and dont have the time or talent to probably make one work. And I know we want this done. So I'm trying to help us.

Even if you do that, unless you will buy those three lips, it wont work dude because my guy has to have 10 people. This projects are a PITA and like most GB, he needs to have 10 paying people of the full price, you know what I mean??? Yeah you can pay the 3 places but when the lip is done, we must have 10 people.
