I thought about something like this for when I make the leap to body kit. However, I have gathered from the guys around here that have done fiberglass fronts that it can be a pain as far as fitment and reliability compared to the urethane kits like a complete Stealin conversion.

Does that mean I have to carry around a large teddy bear to pick up asian chicks? (I am a 6'3" tall midwesteren white guy LOL)

Can't be any large teddy bear, has to be the ones from Japan. You can also replace the teddy bear for a bunch of dolla bils. Ha ha ha ha!!!

Um I think the large amounts of dolla bills is a multi-cultural type of thing...

At least I know chicks dig my car

I was under the impression that the front bumper of the Ninja kit is a bumper replacement. This will cause you to lose your fog lights! If it weren't for that... I'd say go for it. I'm toying with the idea of replacing my Stillen sides with Ninja/Sarona/ or those Ionic sides (if theyre avail for 5th gen yet?).

not necessarily...but it would help

they'd be like...."ooooh...look at the tall white guy with the Mashimoro!!"



anyways...regarding the bodykit.

If you have the sarona front you'll also lose the sidemarker lights in the front but they will remain in the back. I wonder how that would look? not too good I would think.

anybody?

ROFL- I kept seeing like an old godzilla movie playing in my head
"OMG its a tall white guy!!! EEEEKKKK"

ANYWAYS...

The Ninja kit is a front bumper/rear bumpre replace with side skirts. It is fiberglass (i think we already covered that - hehe). When i was considering it, I had thought about some kind of true driving lamp integration via PIAA - but that is just me... It would have to be done WELL as just tacking light to the front of your car is so...FUGLY

Here is a good directory of pics of install and kit on a sterling mist 5th gen.

The Stillen Aero Kit is a front lip/rear lip with side skirts. It is very popular becuase it basically keeps the Maxima look while making it more aggressive. Since it is made of urethane, it will hold up better to dings and scratchs (or so the theroy goes). Just check out Y2KevSE for a GREAT example of this kit.

as far as fitment issues concerned, there's no better kit than Stillen. their body kit fits like glove..no modification is necessary, unlike other fiber glass kits which sometimes require cutting and bending the kit to fit.

i don't think Ninja front, side skirts and Stillen rear is a good match. either go with all Ninja kit or go with all Stillen. the design of two kits are way too different for you to mix and match.
