I like the car but not the wing. Other than that it looks tight.

wow, very nice, I love the color.

always nice to have a good paint shop on call, from the pics, appears it is a very quality paint job. is that a variation of the electron blue that gm uses ?

i dig the car, and as far as the wing, this car and the kit/paint job actually merits it, unlike other junk you see driving around with these types of wings.

The color is Viper GTS metallic blue pearlcoat (with extra flake)...so to answer your question, no, it is not a gm color....its a stock mopar color...they painted the 96 viper this color with the white racing stripes ("Viper GTS")....anyway thanks for all of the comments and keep them coming

*and I agree with you, I like the way my wing looks on my car...and I am not a very big fan of wings, but i am going for a fairly 'wild' look, and I think the wing helps that out....though I know some people dont like any aftermarket wings on the max, and thats fine with me

Great overall package! This is the first time I've really liked the way that kit looks on a Maxima.

Great looking car. Not a big fan of the wing, but whatever floats your boat. Nice color.

Hey Carson,

Looking good as always. I love the undercar glow. I was looking to get a set. How much of a pain was it to install? My car is in the shop right now getting my NX kit installed. Soon I will break the 300hp range. I'm starting with a 75 shot, then I will up it to 150...

it was not that much fun to put on and running all the wires is kinda a pain...I have a remote for it too, but I have not hooked that up yet, its just on a switch right now. After all said and done, and considering I did not use a lift, it took me about a day to put it on (it was a few days, but the time put in added up to about a day)...the front bar was lots of fun...drilling into the front bumper(jk)...but anyway good luck with the nitrous, let me know when you have it all hooked up, I have never got to ride in a max with nitrous....and by the shot it looks like you are going direct port? I think I have talked myself out of nitrous and just save up for the SC....anyway keep me posted.

i like the look of your car man, real sporty, kind of reminds me of a subaru or something. The wing is just too big though, your requires a big wing to look good but nothing too big.

looks great. I like the wing, looks kind of evo VIII'ish. I would only change the orange turn signal bulb to a red LED bulb (pep boys $7 a piece) or just a regular bulb, the orange looks funky.......

minus the tails and wing the car looks decent... i would have opted with the urethane versions of that kit for the durability factor.

blue is kinda played out, but still looks hot on a 4th gen

I like the tails on that car, it goes really well. Im not a huge fan of the wing either. . . . as for the Blue, if I ever get enough money, my car will be Daytona Blue.

Nah, it's a Nx Wet kit. I will bump up to 150 shot maybe a year down the road. I want to be sure that the my good ol' VQ can handle it. Yeah when you are up around the NO. Va let me know. I will be sure to have my bottle filled.

I like your car man. Very different. That looks like the wing from the Evo 8's. I love it. It accents all with the body kit. I was never a fan of big wings on the max but yours is perfect.

the wing generally goes with the whole scheme of the car, and doesnt look bad on a dark color...it would look nasty on yellow or a white

I'm not a fan of giant wings either, but I have to say, it looks very nice on your car and you've done a great job! I'm not feeling the altezza tails tho, I think the 4th gen red/clear tails would look hot!

Thanks for all of the comments...the car is not done yet. I plan on putting a S/C on it this year, and doing a dvd and tv on the inside. Also about the tail lights...that is one of my favorite things about my car, but I have a stock set of taillights laying around my house, and I think that doing the red/clear conversion will be a winter project to me, just so I have the option of doing one or the other. Anyway, keep the comments coming, and good luck to everyone with their cars'.

After looking at the pics a few more time, I have came to the conclusion that the Sti wing looks pretty decent. . . .I think when I last looked at the pics I saw the double deck rounded spoiler, not the Sti one you have on there now. I actually think it looks good. . . .do you have any higher resolution pics?

I need to play around with the resolution of my camera...I am guessing it will take higher resolution pictures...I just need to figure out how to set it. Its a canon A70 so I am guessing it can take nicer pics than that...I will let you know when I have higer res. pics
