Nice brakes! Have you thought of getting lighter wheels? Better acceleration, and better braking!

dont want to disrupt how the smx kit is. I know those wheels slow me down. thats why i am changing the pulley next month to the 3.25. hopefully that will help things.

Looks great, I just know how heavy those Momo's are. I bet if you changed to lighter wheels just to drive around for an hour, you would stick with em.....

Hey vapors

I have 97 White Maxima and I just got the front lip painted white used. But it has a few knicks and chips of painted coming off it. I noticed it's not a perfect match with the rest of the car, it's a little too white but it is pearl. Anyways, what kind of paint job did you have on yours and how do you avoid the front from getting messed up?

Left a message for the place in Albuquerque to call me on the wrap. No word yet from them. Will try again.

The lip originally was painted as part of the kit from stillen. It was starting to come off a little in front so we took it to the bodyshop that did our wing. They used some type of of paint that bonded well with the plastic and matches the car personally. That cost us 300 for them to pull it off. fully repaint, and then fully reattach. The only way to keep it looking ok is to be extremely careful. Angle over everything, bumps, driveways etc. Be most careful of parking spaces with the concrete block. it will royally screw up the lip if not careful.

Hey I agree,

I wish there was a way to stain the lip the proper color.
