The white balance was off in these pictures. Comments are certainly welcome!

Three things:

I aboslutely love the wheels on the Prelude. They look great. BUT, I really think you need to ditch that front lip, it looks really bad and like it's not supposed to be there. The Prelude has clean lines and that big lip kind of makes it look funny.

The wheels on the maxima are so-so, but they look VERY small and the tires look too small for a wheel that size. Looks like you have drag radials on all 4 tires.

What springs are you running? Looks like the back of the maxima is "jacked up" like a muscle car. Maybe just the photo angles. I do like the rear lip on the Maxima. The front is ok, but looks "bigger" than the other parts of the kit for some reason. Has kind of a "fat lip" look.

Both cars look clean and sharp though, even if the lips on both are not really to my liking.

To the comment about the lip. It looks way out of place. Other than that both are freaking hot!

Thanks for the comments, guys. I really appreciate irish's. Here is the car without a lip and mudflaps. The car is lowered on Progress on the front and Maxspeed in the rear; 245/40/17 with really really sticky BfGoodrich G-force KD's and 235/45/17 sticky Advan A-046 tires in the rear.

Both cars look amazing. Might I ask what camera was used to take these photos? What, if any, post-processing was done?

And I normally love the look of the front lip, but it doesn't flow too well with the smaller AE style rear lip.

I have a Canon 300D, but my friend (with the Prelude) and I used his 20D last night. He is just a beginner (with a $1500 camera)! I only crop and very seldom adjust contrast in photoshop. That is it for editing. That is how the pictures look mostly after I take them.

I've only ever used 1 per wheel. It would be more of a pain in the *** for me than the theif if I used more than one lock per wheel.

I think it looks much slicker without the lip. The wheels have kind of a retro feel to them that goes well with the aggressive stance. It looks kind of mean.

Interesting tire setup you have there - reverse stagger rarely seen outside of autocross courses and maybe drag.

In any case, not my personal style, but I do think the car looks good in a unique way so props to you.

Now, take that lip off

I love everything about your car as it sits. It's very aggresive and purposeful looking.

The Prelude looks great, too, but I agree...the lip on it has got to go.

The quality of your pics is amazing!
I agree with Irish, the car does look better without the lip, unless you match a bigger lip in the back, and bigger sideskirts to for that huge front lip.

the prelude is ok. not really feeling the lip on it.

i'm really feeling the Maxima although it does need to be sitting a bit lower. i still like it though.1

Wheels make or break a car - both of those cars have killer wheels - and look awesome because of it! Nice job!

Irish, i see alot of people go with just a front lip instead of a full kit, because in some peoples opinion, it makes it look more aggressive and unique. Personally i dont think it looks bad, the black to me actaully contrast with the flow and style of the car(wheels,stance etc..)

For the max, im not sure if this was addressed earlier but its bigger because its an aftermarket lip, the rest of the kit is an AE and the wheels are some what small but wouldn't look bad a size bigger...I LOVE the way it looks without the wing and a lip kit...looks aggressive IMO
