I've seen this type of of mod before in person - it's a really nice fit for our generation of Maxima/Infiniti - the one I saw had the LED (third Brake lights) and they worked.

i looked for that everywhere and i couldnt find one. i think they discontinued it, but i'm just as happy without. still gives it just that little extra detail.

very nice.. although i wonder what it would look like if it went all the way across like a 3 piece, considering the i30 is more boxy then the max

yeah, good cheep mod from ebay for 28 bucks with free shipping. tottally worth it IMO

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ht_4026wt_1167


it did take a while to ship because they ship it all the way from Taiwan.

i got factory color match spray paint from http://automotivetouchup.com/ and it matched absolutely perfectly.

Btw, did you wet sand your lip before you painted it, or just clean it with rubbin alcohol and then apply paint?

i just cleaned it thoroughly with rubbing alcohol and than painted and cleared it. it worked out good. i thought of sanding but figured i didnt want to risk somehow messing up the smoothness of the lip. its made of a flexible rubber/plastic material and i was worried it would add a texture too it.

yeah even being made of a black rubber i still feel like it needs at least a gloss coat or something as to look OEM with your bumper.
