bump

 

Hey, If you ever find out were i can order the evolution kit, let me know. I'm very interested in getting the rear bumper and side skirts for my 96

 

also how much did you pay for your cefiro headlights and grille?

 

599 for headlights and grille shipped

 

I really need to know if i can put a maxima kit on my car i am about fed up with it and i rhink im gonna buy the skyline kit from custommaxima.com and figure it out if it kils me. and help please let me know pEace please respond

 

maxima bumpers will not fit on an i30. believe me i looked into it

 

y, i heard the max isnt as wide as the i30 is that tru or why wont they fit on

 

ohhhh, also why would the stillen kit be the only one that can be molded to fit the i30 im sure if that would work then the skyline kit or somthin else might work right?

 

you are right about the the stillen lip thing but they hafta mold two together. check out www.evolutio.jp.co its under signature series. that is about the only one.

 

I would think that you'd be able to adapt different kits to fit our car, but the only time that the project has actually been done (AFAIK) has been with the Stillen kit. Unfortuantely the only way to find out would be to buy a kit and take it to a good body shop or talk to someone who has done that.

 

the max and I30 are the same width as long as you stay within your generation (A32 or A33). the difference is the bumper mounts and the bumper shape. Our front bumpers are a wrap from wheel well to wheel well. The maxima has a cone styled front bumper.

He shows some pictures of the "Evolution Aero Kit" anyone know where to get this? Looks pretty sweet

 

www.evolution.co.jp
BTW the whole kit cost almost $2000
i looked into it alot

 

Here is the cost break down of that kit:
Front Bumper: $760
Side Skirts: $515
Rear Bumper: $745
Rear Spoiler: $460

 

Do you think just the Side Skirts alone would match? Or you need the whole package to look nice? What about shipping? Are those prices what we'd pay or another $500 to ship overseas or something?

By the way where is the car on that evolution site? I can't find it too many buttons ugh

 

i started this thread a long time ago hoping sy would find a way to get body kits for us i30 owners for alot cheaper. apperently hasn't yet. do any of you remember him saying something about it?????
i would love to be able to get a nice and smooth lookin kit for my i30 for cheap.

 

go to the signature series it is under a32 cefiro

 

the kit looks no different if you ask me id say its a waste yo

 

wut about this body kit?






MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

 

looks like a Stillen body kit for me...am i correct or totally wrong?

 

partially. . . except it's not the maxima stillen front lip . . . it is a stillen front lip though.... and the rest of the kit is not stillen neither.

 

Can you give us some contacts? Looks very sweet, would like the same setup How much did it run you?

 

hrmmmm.....

Total cost to get my car to look like that "body kit wise"

approximately $2600. .. yikes. .

$450 - 3-piece wing from Sycefiro
$300 - sides and rear ionicdynamics
$300 - Q45 stillen front lip

$1500 - custom mold and paint everything.

Yah so it sucks. I'm actually going to be getting another kit soon...

 

Damn, that I30 is real smooth looking.

Did your car require any custom molding for the Ionic Rear and sides? Im thinking about getting the rear and maybe the sides (or stillen) but custom molding is gonna bring the price through the roof.

 

the sideskirts from any company will bolt right up with no modifications at all (stillen, ionicdynamics, sarona)

as for the rear, you should get the same skirts as the year of your i30 that corresponds to the maxima. for example, 97-99 maxima, get the 97-99 rear skirts.

I was tempted into getting the full one piece rear valence, but I am guaranteeing that thing will have to be cut and custom fitted. I had to shave off the back on the ionic dynamics ones because they wrap around the rear bumper, but after that they mold right up with no further modification.

Yah it's the word "custom" that makes everything so expensive. Overall, I don't think the kit itself was that expensive. My next kit is gonna run me 3K alone, unpainted.

 

YOU CAN DO ANYTHING TO A CAR! ANYTHING!!! There are places on Queens Blvd in NY that will make you the hottest body kit for ANYCAR...

 

yeah for 2600 bucks I would imagine you could do something with any body kit for a car. I think the point of it is that it costed 2600 bucks to get what should normally be a 1200 kit.

 

its not that important for $2600...

 

well, i'm sure body shops on the mainland are a lot cheaper than here in hawaii. I doubt you would have to pay as much as I did to get the bodywork done. Keep in mind that the molding of the wing ended up costing the most, if you guys are only gonna mold the front lip and the rear skirts, it shouldn't run you that much. I ended up having to paint about 70% of my car over in order to get the paint to blend in properly.

anyway, thanks for the comments. . .

 

nice lookin ride...

Anybody in Southern CA willing to get some cuztom kits made and then produced for sale?

My sponsor's molder needs stuff to keep entertained with I'm getting a cuztom kit made for my maxima as well as a spoiler most likely.

They pretty much just make a mold of your bumpers and shape the kit onto that... then they separate the mold from your bumper and shape it some more and tada! you have a custom kit.

I think right now they're working on a plan to get group things going on that way for sure they'll sell stuff. 7-layer fiberglass though.. and they're going to experiment with that kind of resin that keeps the fiberglass flexible.

I've tried to get something going on with the 4th gen maxima guys using my car as the guinea pig... but no dice.

Anyone here care to organize something and get a guinea pig in So. Cali? It would be 2-3 days maximum in which your bumpers would be needed for molding. I'll ask for specifics later when people are more serious.

 

allright whoever told me that i cant EASILY get a kitto fit onto an i30 is crazy. just got one and waitin to show it off got another few weeks till i get loot tlo paint it might even do that myself. just hope i am one of the few whose rollin my i30 with a phat body kit ill be back with pics soon pEace

 

Where u get the kit from?? what does it look like?? any site i can look for it?? thnx

 

FoRe ShIzZle

 

hopefully he used his head and didn't get stillen front lip then use the "wont fit i'll make it fit" attitude

however if it is a different one meant for an I30 and isn't a $2600 custom job let us all know m'kay

 

i got some work to do but so far the front only took me a few hours to get just right, thje backs gonna be tricky but i can handle it im not gonna brag until i got sumpin to show for it so give me some time and when i finally get back from this next job were doin ill be workin on it and ill let everyone know that i think their is a way for us to have a kit for around 500 - 1000 bux pEace

 

can't wait to see your results.
