I have always liked your car, but I really dislike the sideskirts and bumper.

honestly i really like the the whole look of the car. the little bit of angularity of the sides and rear really offsets the typical rounded body of the max. I also agree with what Rob Van Dam is saying too. i think you need a little more aggressive front bumper to have everything flow better, but i don't think there are really any ones out right now that are subtle yet agressive (actually very uncommon for most anything).

Anyway, enough outta me. Your car looks great man, and if you like it that's all that matters, don't listen to the haters

BTW - How did you do at the show?

Hey man, we were trying to figure out who you were I drove by your car in my SER and bout ran into someone looking at your FMIC. I had the red(sorta) SER with the Gunmetal 17s on it, getting painted in 2 weeks. Very nice car.

Now on tony's car, the sides work with this car and trust me it looks better in person, looks great in pics too . He did win 2nd place overall and only lost to a guy who had 100K worth of stuff done to a 350z. As usual Tony is doing stuff right and it was a good time on the install cept moving those gay Konigs with blue BFG scorchers on them

Good luck this season with the car bud,

Yeah...I guess I got bored and I really need the look of the max to change. Next up is the CF hood and maybe CF lip. I might even throw those metal vented fenders on just for kicks.

Why is it that anyone who voices their negative opinion a "hater?"

Overall-

For once carbon altezzas look good, especially on that color and with those rims; I wish you would do something with the headlights, along the same lines.

Roof spoiler-

Is that a Stillen front lip?

It was that trophy and $500. The best of show was a wide body Veildside supercharged 350Z that the guy probably put 4X more money into his car than I did. But aleast I can say I did most of my own work....that's more important to me.

I'm still working on the interior. Anyway..here are some pics. I did the basic stuff. Dash kit, I30 interior parts, gauges and some neons. I'm probably going to go with some Sparco seats in couple weeks and maybe a flip out screen in few months.

You don't know how hard Jason and my buddy with a civic tried to talk me out of that roof spoiler. I got it painted and everything. They wouldn't help me hold the other side so I can get it on straight. Yeah..it's a stillen lip.

I like it a lot. The body kit gives it a unique look so don't worry about all the people complaining about it

Well, I would have tried just as hard as Jason and "civic buddy" if I was there...and I wouldn't have helped either!

I didn't notice the alignment, I just think it ruins the clean lines of the roof (barring the deflector).

You definitely need to lose the Stillen lip since you're ditching the rest of the kit...consistency.

btw, interior:

Car looks nice as always, but I'm not sure the kit flows well together. The Stillen lip is very round and very plain, whereas the rest of the kit is more angular and stands out. I think maybe a different front bumper would set it off.

Wow, our cars will really look similar, except for the front.

lol, I agree with many here...

I love the front lip, the back is OK, but the side skirts will never grow on me. They just seem too "complicated".

this isnt his 1st body kit, I would think he's in a position to know what he likes and dis-likes, leave the man alone
