So ... what kind of wing is this?
Saw it on the highway on Sunday. The wing on the Max on the right looks like an Accord wing, doesn't it? It actually looks pretty decent.
The wing on the left is stock just for comparison.
It was strange ... two Maxes, both semi-debadged, uncleared tails, but clear corners in front.
The Max on the left had chrome 20's and was riding 4x4 style. The Max on the right was riding stock.
looks like 97-01 Toyota Camry wing to me...and it looks good...
look at this one on ebay....

It does look camryish

I think that looks good!
Much cleaner than the stock spoiler. The stock spoiler is too skinny to have those 2 middle supports, although because we are so used to them, we don't pay attention.. I think that looks great. Amazing how it fits so nice too..

they're understandable on maximas as long as they're not exaggerated, for ex:, i saw a max down the shore this past weekend with that huge *** terminator 2 wing, hmmm unfortunately, it made that maxima an official ricer

it does look like the camry wing, but the camry wing looks more arched. maybe its just me. looks identical i guess. i like the stock spoiler better-

Ok, im not tryin to prove anyone wrong or anything, but look at the picture of the two maximas with different spoilers. Tell me if you find this weird like I did. If you look at the maxima on the left it casts its shadow on the right of the car, you can see the antenna on the pavement also, the white maxima does the same. This means the sun shining from our left and the drivers left. However, if we look to the off ramp there seems to be a shadow from a branch. The shadow seems to be cast to the left of the branch, and also right above the middle of the roof on the white maxima, there seems to be another branch, this would mean the sun would have to be shining from our right and the drivers right side. Maybe I'm a psycho, but for some I reason I studied this picture and just found that odd. Wow I'm bored....

What a shame, under that hideous serving platter, that Lexus looks like a nicely kept car!

Hahah I laughed my head off when I saw the wing on the Lexus and that Pontiac!
anyway, I like the stock spoiler too. I really like the flared edges on the stock spoiler...it fits the characteristics of the 4th gen (95-95 btw) perfectly.

body kits(not all, but for a maxima) and bumper lights purpose: looks.
the spoiler for the max is also pretty much looks, no family sedan will ever really NEED a spoiler be it front, rear, or all wheel drive.
