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.

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

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
that integra is real clean. i love it.

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
