OK. I wasn't going to get involved with this thread, however I think some guys who're more into cosmetics can benefit from what I have to say.
As some of you have seen I rant about my Stanza quite a bit. Once again I have to state how similar the Maxima is to the Stanza, body wise, electric wise, and suspension wise.
Can you fit another car's body kit onto the Maxima? Yes, It's possible. The Stanza is a smaller Maxima. The 90-93 Honda Accord bumpers will fit onto a Stanza if it is shortened ABOUT 2 inches lengthwise. What does this mean for the WIDER Maxima? It means the 90-93 Accord bumpers will probably fit directly on the Maxima.
To support what I have to say, here are some pictures of a Stanza that is going to have a 90-93 Accord Black Widow body kit fitted. As you can see, the accord bumpers are too wide for the Stanza and need to be shortened, but this is where a Maxima can benefit. It SHOULD fit onto a Maxima lengthwise without a problem.
What kind of body kits are available for the 90-93 Accords that would be beneficial to a Maxima?
The Skyline style kit.
Are there potential problems while trying to install an Accord kit onto a Maxima?
Yes. Don't attempt it if you don't have the money or skills necessary to do it properly. If you want to ghetto rig it, do it and don't let anyone know (it's embarassing to see such things). It's my opinion that you have to modify the bumper (the acutal metal beam). If you have to do this, it's best that you don't even attempt this because you will be left with a very unsafe car. If you can get around this, good for you.
Accord kits as you all know are extremely cheap, and there is a greater variety.
Don't ask me questions, I don't know the answers. Go out and test it yourselves now.

I already did (sort of), and he is right (about all of it). You will end up with a less than safe car. I can get those R33 skyline front ends for an Accord for a little over $100, as I posted in another thread.
