Maximas with Bodykits do people tail you...

Do they:
1. Ride up on your a$$ just to f*** with you?
2. STARE at you when they are along side?
3. Try to race you? or entice you to race?

I'm considering the "bodykit" but don't want to be be annoyed when driving.
Note: People stopped tailing my rear bumper as soon as I turned in my old plates: NZMO400 into "general public" issued numbers. They were regular "chez whitey frat boys" and "hillbilly pick up truck" drivers and not "ricers" that f***ed with me the most

i know what you mean-its those dudes in the big **** pick ups that always drive all fast around me.. quite frankly it scares me and i stay the F away. losers

i get a lot of stares from honduh people that wish they had a 6
they probably dont know why they stare but theyre just strangely sucked in. since the stillen kit makes it look so plain and simply attractive

coming from the east coast I used to get looks on a regular basis, some good some bad, but now that i've moved out to Cali I hardly get noticed. Sometimes it's nice, other times I miss it. Haven't had a problem with tailgaters though. I hear in Detroit if you drive an import, guys in their trucks on occassion do crazy stuff to you like try to run you off the road.

Get yourself a body kit, if someone is doing all that to get to you they are just jealous. I always get stared at specially when I use to live in New Orleans it was only three of us and only two of us had kits. You are right about the pick up trucks and other cars but there is not many cars that can really beat a modded Maxima unless they are spraying.

My experience is that they try to get up next just to me to tell me what a nice car I have.

I have a hunch that the license plates cause that more than mods do. I had a coworker who had a St. Louis Rams personalized plate in NYS and his car got vandalized just once so he gave it up. Kinda too bad because I bet someone else picked up his plate. I hear in DE they actually sell plates and the lower the number the more money someone will pay. Very weird. The mods probably help to get the car stolen but they wont get you harassed imho.

having a body kit and other mods is like a girl wearing sexy clothes and mad that guys always hit on her and thinks she wants to get it on. You're bound to get hit on.

quite the contrary.....people from where I live are afraid to race because of it.

I've got the stillen touring lip and the aerokit's sides and rear valence.

Not generally. Most people that rev on everything and it's mother are intimidated by the SC whine

I did have a 540i the other day rev at me at a light, and the car wasn't warmed up yet. He stomped it, and because I wasn't willing to rev the car over 3000 with the engine cold, I didn't. He pulled off before the car was warmed up, but hey, that's life. No riced up civics have rev'd since the SC, despite the looks they've given.

Remember long time ago when you were giving me and my friends a ride in your Max at Woodbine/16th and how the white Prelude saw you and proceeded to cut you off and fly by?

Damn whippersnappers in them cars.

i got a skyline kit and well people defiantally stare at me where ever i go, almost caused an accident last week. i was sitting at a red light in the left turn lane, and was the first one in line and this truck runs his red light and almost hits some lexus cause he was staring at me! he didnt even know it ever happened! and if people do ride my a$$ i let off the gas, turn overdrive off and coast till they change lanes and try to pass me thats when i punch it and leave their a$$. that usually solves that problem. people also try tto race me at lights especially at night, and most people cant figure what kind of car i drive so when they ask what kind of car i drive i tell them "a fast one"

I fear the crazy HillBilly Pickup Truck Drivers that tailgate the most. It's like they see an import car and they want to turn the road into a Monster Truck Rally.
