RedlineMax Prototype Front Bumper (pics)

Just finished the mold last week. Sent overseas for production this week. BTW- This is for 4th gen's. Stock foggies won't fit.. IMO- small price to pay for moddin'.





The m-Style fenders just went into production, hopefully I get the batch early May along with this new front bumper.

Oh my GOD, I think I'm in love. Very subtle, nothing crazy yet pretty aggressive looking with the big mouth opening. Of course the fact that it looks like we can use our clear corners doesn't hurt either...

8-10 weeks is a rough estimate for the front bumper. Fenders should be in early May. But I'm trying to get this front bumper shipped along with the fenders (in early May).

MAXIN: Almost forgot about that.. sorry. It's for 4th gen, sometimes I take it for granted.

Niiiiice. Being able to keep the corners is great. Too bad you couldnt mold the grill to it.It would keep it a little cleaner and smoother and eliminate the small gaps. Now I wish i wouldve waited on doing my 97 front end conversion.

Looks good sorta like the skyline but not as agressive. Any idea of there will be a rear and sides to go along with it in the future? I cant wait to see it on a car!

WOW! I think this looks even better than Stillen. Its actually a full bumper, I wonder how much is it gonna be sold for? Hope its gonna be reasonable.

Great Job! I like the things that you're putting to production. I think if my money situation gets better, I'm gonna go with this and your CF hood. BTW anything new news on that?

It looks nice but how are you going to fit the grill in and is their away to integrate fogs even though I don't have them?

How low will this bumper sit in comparison to the stock bumper? I think that is a big concern for a lot of lowered Maxima owners such as myself.
Thanks,

Excellent!

I've been looking for a really good kit, and I think this is it!

Are you also going to do the side skirts and the rear? Can my 95 grill still fit?

Q & A... (in no particular order)

athlon omega: The mold was based from 97-99 OE bumper, therefore the 95-96 grill won't fit. You will need to use Trenz grill or 97-99 OE grill.. or mine.. but you'll have to wait til this summer for that.

Supa Lao:

Vyrus: Won't know that until the finished product comes in and gets installed onto a Maxima.

95emeraldgxe: Only complication in terms of fitment is possibly the sides where it 'wraps' around the wheelwell/fender area. That's never easy to get right. Hopefully it won't be a big problem.

gtr_rider: oh shhhhnap~

slimer: no .. one fender at a time.

spanishrice: Grill is added on just like existing aftermarket bumpers we have right now. Foggies can be added on, if there's a will, there's a way.

MAXIN: There's always a way to add stock foggies. If yoou're asking would there be an opening that will fit stock foggies like the OE bumper, the answer is no.

jcy98maxse: My prices are always reasonable. If it wasn't, I wouldn't sell the cf hood at $380. I'm in the business to make money, but NEVER driven by greed. BTW- The cf hood is still on the boat- delayed.

ny96max: Read my response to athlon omega

Smithdogg1: Sideskirts will be developed in April.. measurments were taken last week.

Thanks to everyone who commented on the bumper.. hope RedlineMax's investment to develop more Maxima aftermarket parts is making some headway.

I know AnGe that you charge reasonably, do you have an idea of about how much its it goona be? Its it going to come in a whole kit (even maybe with fenders included) or sold separately?

MaximaZero: Sorry, I don't know who/what loon is.

jcy98maxse: Pricing would be somewhere along the line of current aftermarket front bumper pricing (bet. $325-380). It will eventually be a part of a whole kit. The front bumper will be made available first though. I will definitely package a deal to include cf hood and/or the M-fenders.

killamaxima: Fiberglass. If this bumper becomes as popular as the Stillen bodykit, we will make it from abs plastic (which costs $400K for equipment and material).

Luke- The molding was based on 97-99 OE bumper, so yoou'll need to use 97-99 OE grill or trenz grill with it. I'm trying to have JDM-style grills made . Prototype will be made sometime in April. So you're looking at mid-late May for production to be made available for the public.
