Looks great! I can't wait for my stillen kit to get here!

Let me guess, you have a reason there's no front lip?

that looks awesome

I like those wheels on that color of the car. You should put a lip or something on the front bumper to even out the body kit

Very nice...

Thanks man. I bought the kit used, and it came with a lip that was smashed in half. I tried to repair it but was unable to align the crack correctly, and so now I am in the process of looking for a used lip.

Phil, the ride is looking sweet. The lower drop really makes a world of difference. Can't wait to see the car when you put on the Stillen front lip.

Looks great. How's that Stillen muffler sound?

Is it just me or is that drop not typical of a S-Tech drop? I remember you saying something about how your Max seems to look higher compared to others (with the same springs)..

Looks great. i was thinking of getting some new rims and was wondering if those Eibach springs lowered the car enough to reduce the gap with low profiles

Car looks real good. It sucks that u have to have a front license plate because it messes up the flow of the front. The car still looks good though

Thanks a lot for the comments guys.

Stillen Lip: The front lip was cracked in half when I got it (I bought the kit used and knew the lip was damaged already), and I am unable to repair it. I am going to have to buy another one soon before a show that I am going to attend in July.

Tien S-Techs: They ride decent, but honestly seem more 'bumpy' than my Eibachs...as if they are softer.

Nismotic: Looks similar to the pics I took April 2004, but now I am on different springs, different muffler and I have the stillen sides/rears on.

Bonka - Stillen muffler is pretty loud, but I can live with it for now. Its temporary until I find what I really want. And I did tell people that my car seems higher than other maximas. When I swapped my progress springs with Maximus_Bryan, his car was definitely lower on the same springs (even though he was a 5-speed). Also with eibachs my car was still much higher than other TMEC member rides with eibachs. The S-techs are the lowest I am going to go before coilovers (and I know its not that low).

Fr33way02 - Eibachs are pretty low on most 4th gens I have seen, but my front end was still way too high on my car for some odd reason.

rome06 - my paint was in excellent condition when I bought the car except for the front bumper/hood which I had repainted. The previous owner who I met was an old man who took care of the car really well and I suppose always parked far from other cars, cause it came with zero door dings (it now has 3 door dings because I have to park downtown for school).

Sook, check my signature for mods. Claybar is actually a bar of clay that is sold by mothers, and I think a few other companies. When used in conjunction with a spray it pulls out oxidization and other contaminants from the paint. It pulled a lot of crap from my paint.

GoalieKeg - I would do a CF look, but I really want all body panels one color. As for BBK, I do not think my engine performance warrents it and I really do not plan on dropping too much more $ into it (it will be gone within a few years).

f550maranello2 - The blue clearance lights are rice and look horrible. I am going to replace them with the stock ambers soon (Ive been meaning to do this for some time now).

Amarao - Amarao, I bought it from this store that we have local called Canadian Tire. You may want to check ebay or AutoZone because you are from the US.

Hoped I answered everyone.
