lower front lip/spoiler

just a thought....

I'm actually surprised there isn't one of these made for the Maxima - I know we have the Stillen lip and the other front lips (which are more for appearance than anything else). I'm talking about the front lips that are for the track (road racing, etc...)

I'm surprised though that no company has made a more track-oriented front lip to improve aerodynamics and high-speed front end downforce. I'm talking about something like are widely used on BMWs and many track cars. Nothing "bling" or fancy or body-color-painted. I just mean the rubber lower air dams, like this:



or this, a much more EXTREME example

That was pretty much what I was talking about in my other post. I wanted to make a splitter...From claims with guys that had one made for their maximas had claimed that over 55mph they felt planted on the ground even more.

You guys can get one of those universal splitters. If it won't fit, simply return it.
