New Body Kits For Maximas!!!!!

Hi guys,
If any of you post on www.altimas.net you might know me from there.
On the heels of the 2 largest group buys in altimas.net history I'm looking for new projects. I know the Maxima is as ignored in the aftermarket as the Altima is (compared to Honda at least) and I'm here to help get Nissan some equal treatment.

Basically here's how it works. I have access to Import TRenz wholesaling and production facilities, and I can have kits from similarly-shaped cars remolded from scratch to fit other cars. The Black Widow is currently being made for the 1998-01 Altima, and the Buddy Club is being fitted for the 1993-97 Altima.

The cost will remain consistent....with 10 orders I can get a custom kit for your cars for $700 including shipping. The lead time is only two weeks for production and the kit will be at your door with excellent quality and fitment in 4 weeks. Whoever wishes to donate a car for the fitment period and who lives near LAX in LA (Whittier, CA) will receive a body kit absolutely free for their troubles.

I have earned the respect of people on altimas.net for getting stuff done inexpensively, fast, and well....and I hope to earn that reputation with you guys as well.

If you have absolutely ANY questions, concerns, suggestions or anything else...feel free to contact me 24 hours a day at jeffpresnail@hotmail.com or my home phone at :
(514)639-0038..preferably before 1AM eastern in the case of the phone calls.

Thanks a lot guys/gals...and I hope this is the start of a new world of body kit possibilities for an awesome car...ALTIMA'S BIG BROTHER.

I'm not as familiar with Maximas as I am with Altimas...could someone direct me to a thread containing the info on which aero parts are currently available for Maximas? I've seen some pretty nice kits on this site in my 30 minutes of browsing, but I have no idea if they were custom jobs or mass produced. I'll post pics of some possible ideas once I know what's already around.

Thanks guys!

stillen.com has body kits and Sarona Designs has one. I'm not sure what the web address is.

Hi there,
I live in Irvine which is about 1 hour aways from LAX. As long as the fitment does not damage my car, I'd be glad to try it out if possible. Please PM me and we can talk about it.

Actually...I forgot to mention that! Your stock front bumper will be "lost" in the process, if you're still interested let me know! You could pick up a brand new OEM bumper for pretty cheap if you were ever to put the car back to stock, which I think makes getting a $700 body kit free worthwhile...but that's just me.

you definetly need to hook it up with the 3rd gens. Even though were better we still have the lack of support. http://www.veilside.com/veilsideusa/...an/300cii.html
we need kits like veilsides.

I think the Veilside look may be a LITTLE over the top for our boxier cars...that suits the shape of a 300zx or Supra, but not a 4 door Kleenex box. What we should be aiming to do here is take the lines of the boxy car, and focus on them even more....thru the use of skirts that would bring the eye up and down on the car, not side to side. Something like a Black Widow or R33 style would look much better in my opinion...but hey! If you find 9 other people who want a crazy-*** Max like that then I'll get it done!

Not flaming your idea by the way, I just tend to like the sqared-off look better in my kits on that style car.

Any other suggestions???

yeah, nothing too riced out like that. We need something closer to the stillen style I think. Something civilized yet somewhat aggressive right?

I agree 100%... no Black Widow replicas but something a little more aggressive than the current Stillen piece. And make sure you integrate factory fogs.

See thats the wings west kit. There already trying to get Andy's Auto world or something like that to create a kit off of it but modified. The boxy look is cool. But sports cars are cool. i know that a maxima will never be a sports car. It is what it is yes. But i bought a maxima so that i could carry around friends and i like having 4 doors. I know if i wanted a sports car i should have bought one. But i didn't because i absolutely love maximas. I want atleast my maxima to be sporty looking, not stock looking which is how i feel about the Stillen and other kits. I want flashy yet sleek and not bland and not rice. I like air dams, i like curves and i like sporty looks. I don't like big open mouth front lips and squares. if i wanted square i'd keep it how it is. I just want a little flash to the bottom of the car. and that link was just an example of veilside.
http://www.veilside.com/veilsideusa/...an/s14cii.html
that's like what i would really kinda want. Yet again not TOO flashy.
Silvias are just gorgeous. A max to be made to look like a silvia?
dunno but it may be cool.

thats from andy's auto. That's another one there thinking about having molded to the 3rd gen.
I personally don't like it. Alot seem to be intreseted in something like it though. I don't like the big mouth air damn. But it does kinda fit at maxima.
Some1 has it photoshopped onto a 3rd gen. i'll see if i can't find his sig

I would be VERY inerterested in getting a kit for my 2002 max. If you guys are raplacing the front bumper on 2000+ max's the kit will fit ALL 5th gens, 2000-2002(the sides and rear are the same). I would have to see pics of some of your work before I commited to anything though.


I really like the way the red Silvia looks! Something like that would be great but maybe just a pinch less agressive.

Come on 5th geners we don't have any good kits! The stillen kit for 2000-2001 is OK but the lines are a bit bubbly for my taste.

I think the Altezza style one suits the car the best, but yeah...those are good suggestions. I could definitely get some kits for the Max that would look similar to those. Maybe once there are like...5 good suggestions per gen of Maxima, then we'll have a vote, and subsequently I'll host group buys on those three kits. I'll get one for each gen made at the same time. How's that sound?

Why thank you!

That's the Black Widow 1 style, taken from a prelude. But the upper grille is going to be much nicer...just wait and see! I'm going to post pics in here as soon as I get them.

How about making a 5th gen kit that resembles the 4th gen Stillen kit?
I think it is alittle more aggressive than the 5th gen Stillen kit, but still no hint of rice....

Also, the one 97MaxGurl has (don't know the name). Could someone help out on this and post pics. Thanks
