Need some input from my fellow orgers

I love the Stillen lip but I really like the AIT GTR front bumper more and more I look at it and especially if you can get it with a CF lip. I did a photoshop of it on my car. Do you guys think I should get it or stay with the Stillen lip. I will also be up fabing black housing headlights soon with bixenon projectors (have an extra set sitting in my closet). I am also thinking about painting my rims black and keeping the polished lip on the current wheels or should I leave them gold?.

Aside from the Sportmaxx wheels, that car is hella gorgeous. Don't ruin it with that god awful bumper. And for safety sake, get yourself some hood pin.

Just my opinion - I don't like the GT-R look (new type) on the Maxima - I think the 4th Gen with the R-32/R34 styling is good, but with the new GT-R being such a different beast of a car, it doesn't 'set right' on anything else. I like the Top Image (Stillen FTW).

i dont like the way the hood goes intot he bumper without the grille there. keep the stillen lip.

the black wheels may look ok, but if you dont like it its going to be tough to make them polished again

If I paint the wheels it would only be the painted are and the lip would still stay polished.

any car that trys to imitate a gt-r w/ a gt-r bumper is an automatic fail and looks absolute absurd. its like putting a saleen or cobra body on a v6 mustang.

although i agree your your mindset, your example makes no sense. making a v6 mustang look like a cobra is easy. making an altima look like a gtr is going to take alot more work. its also the look of the front of an evo. it does look good, but it's too extreme.
its like auto s5 lights. everyone likes it so much that even emrcedes and porsche are copying the style. in a couple of years itll be something else.

black painted faces are cheap, everyone has them. you have a nice looking set of wheels. dont cheapen the look by painting them black.

drop the car a little more and push the wheels out 10-15 mm. that would be a better investment

Keep the Stillen. That bumper is Hideous.
Lose the gold on the wheels, black or polished.

She rides perfect right now and is my daily driver. Any lower is going to ask for trouble (been there done that in the past with other cars) and the offset is right on the money with hair lines before rubbing literally. I also do not want to roll the fenders or quarters.
