I thought it would be bigger than your old wing but its smaller. I think its a little *too* small(length wise) though. Doesn't look that bad..

The wing is cool looking but the Maxima *** is too round for that thing, don't match good.

For once I would have to agree with WoodEar on this one->

Look at the Sideview pic and you would see why this wing doesn't go with the maxima A$$.

some suggestions...

if you look at the max rear without spoiler, that top part is too darn round.....
you need a wing that hides that roundness and make it squarer....and at the same time make the car looks good...

there is no way that the wing will help too much in performance..unless you are going 100 + speed....

yeah..easy for me to say...dunno what wing is good though...
but definately no supra TT wing! Big no no....
my friend has one on his gst eclipse...blah...ricey
the boy had the right idea on mods...but as soon as his puts the wing and the stickers......it aint that cool anymore.

Something like the oem wing, but higher overall (not too much) is good....

/==|=|==\

yeah something like that..hehehehe....just need to slap on a lot of imagination
^_^

anyhow....what happened to your antenna?

My dad installed an interior antenna once in his car...the antenna is made by bosch and is attached on the windshield inside....dunno if they have it here....
reception is the same as regular antenna...it has amplifier in it
anyhow.
Your car is nice though...it just need a gentler wing.

makes a bad *** look worse...

What's next?? A big huge hood scoop like a funny car? That would be pretty sweet (PUKE).

I don't mean to be too critical, but this is just stupid.

Chebosto -- You car USED to look SO good! WTF are you doing this crap for? You don't need to run with those Civics!

The previous touring wing was something I could tolerate, but this is just STUPID. Are you going to be road racing any time soon? Is the wing adjustable so you can change the downforce to suit the track type (or, umm, avenue or boulevrad that your on)??

Ohhh...the ends look like carbon-fiber! GREAT! What a wieght saver!!! Just what you wnat on a FWD, front engine car that tends to push!

Sorry, I'm gonna stop before I get shot (I know I'll get flamed!). I think you took a big step backwards in looks, and we no it's not going to do a thing for performance so I don't understand at all.

Go back about one year and your car looked much better.

Re: makes a bad *** look worse...

I've gotta give you credit for trying. However I don't care for it. Remember wings give rear down force, your cars front wheel drive. You want more force on the front not the rear. Wings on a max really don't make sense.

Good luck Chebosto

Don't think maximas were ever meant to

use at GT style wing. The first one was tacky, this one
is even tackier, makes your car look like one of those.....
civics with the oversized body kits....eww

The Stillen Type2 wing looks better IMO.
