Whats wrong with a stock bumper? He could do the 5.5 bumper if he wants to be different

Not my style, but never liked the ebay bumpers.

Here is a nicer one from one of my FAV cars on .org.



Jdub front they make full kits and I think sometimes they also will separate them for you if you only want certain parts. So point your buddy to this site That way he can see all the cars in the 5th Gen forum Picture Thread, and get ideas on how the mods look on the cars.

It looks worse. Why the gi-normous square hole in the bumper???

i see it that way. Many people have different tastes, people mod their cars to what way they believe is the right way for them. He loves it and that good enough for me. It is def different.

Ill just stick to my 4th gen with my stillen lips and moda rims. lol

I guess i didn't see the original pictures. this is supposed to be the improvement? I don't can't say i like it. I know it's a work in progress but that front is just tooo much. It's sad that some people with Nissans will put anything that looks like crap as long as GT-R is said in the same sentence.

Would be pretty cool actually if the side middle vents (holes) weren't there. Way too much going on, and the side middle vents kill it IMO.

Money spent on fixing the huge dent in the pass side rear door would have been better.


Still looks God awful.

The only way it might look good is with an intercooler filling up the middle hole, and the intercooler piping filling up the big holes on either side of that.

maxima trying to be a skyline = FTL. I think that square cut out in the front is big enough for 2 intercoolers LOL....I'd like to see how the whole car flows once he puts on the sides, rear, fogs, and puts his other wheels back on

Complete the kit and then post it up with some nice wheels. Then as a finished overall product it could make a good turn out. In the end...do what you likes..opinions are like ********, everybody has them. And alot of them can be sh1tty. So do what you likes.
