I agree with the jdm style comment, I like it how it is and wouldn't change anything, but I am sure it would still look good if you did. I have a 96 and would love to see something of this sort for the 95-96's. looking great keep up the good work.

Stillens cost for each urethane piece should be less than 10 dollars, so please tell me what the cheap piece is. What is expensive are the molds and machinery to be able to make them, after that the money keeps rolling in.
On another note fiberglass is cheap to repair, and would not cost as much as the original purchase price to have it repaired.
Oh and one last thing, I don't sacrifice quality for a profit, so my fiberglass products are well made and don't crack easily. You might be able to chip or even crack the gel coat but not the fiberglass underneath.

I am not trying to bash your company or your products. Yes, i will agree that if used properly that fiberglass can be very strong and durable, but urethane is more flexible and less prone to break than fiberglass. Speaking from experience, the so called "thick" fiberglass that is used on the skyline kit was thick in some(NOT all)places, but in some places were paper thin.
About comparing car bodykits to boats... that isnt even a comparison. Boats are made of many many many layers of fiberglass able to with hold the beating of hitting waves of anywhere from 50-100 miles an hour.
this topic could go on and on but i am not here to argue. For the money, your product is bang for the buck.

Looks good with the ionic kit but Im looking at it and thinking that it would be beter if it wasnt flat all the way across the front. Maybe have it indented starting from under the foglight hole or something similar

I don't think that it will fit a 95-96 max, but I will make one for your model year.
Swafford98: quote "if used properly that fiberglass can be very strong and durable", that's the only thing that I wanted to make clear. Thanks for your comments and feedback

WizzaMax: Hi! How have you been? Thanks for the support!
JeffesonM: I will take some tomorrow and post them up.
For now I'm going to sell the front lip with no "air intakes", but in the following weeks I will also have another front lip with the air intakes included

And I would like to thank everyone that have added their comments and feedback on this thread.
Take care!

Hi!
I have new pics of the font lip that I have been working on. The only diffrence is that it will also be available with two small ducts under the fog lamps.
Here is the link: http://www.ionicdynamics.com/97_99lip.html
Just in case if anyone is wondering why my headlights are crooked it's because they were taken off so we could work on making a grill and I put them back on for the pics.
The price for maxima.org members for the front lip will be about $120.00 and the price for the new full Ionic kit will be $400 dollars plus shipping![Big Grin](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Keep in mind that this is top quality fiberglass that will NOT break easely.
Thanks!

They are available, not with the vent yet. I can have one custome molded with the vent if you like. Yes they will come unpainted with grey primer.
Thanks!
