dude I hate to say it...you went to a sh!tty body shop..the paint don't even match!


I feel bad bro....that kit totally ruined a great looking car..

 

yeah dude... sorry to hear that you wasted your money... your paint... hmmmm the paint... now i don't know which one is worse: moldy paint or chipping paint... oh well. Good luck with fixing it.

 

Not zesty.

 

Yup.. but the paint match wasn't entirely the body shops fault..

I fukked up because i didn't want to leave the car there.. and thus the whole body kit needs to be colour matched by leaving my car there... so they offered to re do it (less of course the cost of materials) which is good of them, but i don't feel like wasting anymore time and effort on this $hit body kit.. And i eagerly wait until the next body kit comes out

if you plan to wait for a decent kit? do you plan on keeping that fugly thing on there or going back to stock?

IMO go back to stock! at least for the sake of the car...people will laugh

 

BTW.. i hate this body kit and i regret ever doing it EVER...

IF I WENT BACK IN TIME< i would have just not installed it

 

Sorry to hear that. Those are the worst, you can't wait to get it done and then it doesn't live up to expectations, in this case not even close. I was never a fan of that kit to begin with, but I feel for you man.

 

haha That body shop screwed you over! You dont need your car there so they can colormatch the paint, all the body shop needs is the paint code off of your car. If they wouldve gotten the paint code, it wouldve matched and you still could have kept from leaving your car there. ALSO I got my kit painted at the nissan dealership..try that next time...

 

Those vent visors look damn good. Kit isn't too bad but I hate how you can see the little circle dials on the sides.

 

I do like the sideskirts though, if only they fit right.

 

yeah the side skirts look alright, just not the circles... i would have molded them off to a cleaner look...

 

and the back bumper with some modification... could look good too...
I think I am going to experiment with this kit... they sell them on ebay for 350-450... i might just buy it and experiment with it. I have a good friend that owns a body shop... he does some custom work on the kits like molding out something that doesn't look right and makes a ugly looking kit into a hot custom kit...

 

thanks for the pics. there is not 1 part of that kit that i like.

 

I did give them the colour code, and the colour code on the PPG paint materials was confirmed..

This isn't the first time.. Some nissan paints like my moms 99 Maxima PEARL WHITE, and my 2k3 Sheer silver is very very hard to match in colour.

They offered to fix it (although they are not 100% liable) because th factory pain was off, but i dont' care, i dont think this kit will stay too long on my car.. once i find a better body kit, this one is going in to the dumpster.

How much did you pay for this paint job. To get this kit put on.

 

I get mine modified, painted and installed for $1500 CAD=1071 USD

MiniRX7, does your kit crack easily?

 

Mine is destroyed.. Just nailed an NSX

 

If I buy a body kit, it better fit right, or heads will roll ~!

 

is the car totalled? didnt you total your 1st max as well?

 

never mind this msg...

 

good luck with the kit....

 

woops didnt see that you said the kit was destroyed... sorry to hear...

 

Ouch! Seems like you don't have too much luck with your Maxima, Ed. That paint match is pretty bad.

BTW, are you lowered in the front? Looks like you have a lot of wheel gap up there.

 

he may be on eibachs, maxspeeds or H&Rs..

 

im sorry bro but that looks like they used silver spray paint you can buy at home depot ......and i forgot who said it already but its true all you need is a paint code... u cant just match car paint buy using your eye .

J-

 

To answer the questions..

In the pic, my car was not lowered.. i have a system in the trunk that dropped the rear 1" and raised the front.

2nd. The paint code from NISSAN is never correct ... with my moms 99 Max SE... even with the paint code, it never appeared correct.. had it painted 3 times and finally matched..
I saw the cans, it was the actual paint code however, you can actually change the hues slighty by teh application of the paint.

3rd Finally, the rear end was cracked up, and the brackets are broken... the side skirt was smashed up by me because i lowered the jack without the tire on by accident, and the front bumper is cracked from rocks hitting it on the highway..

So in few words... Sarona blows monkey ***** ?

 

lol...sorry to hear of all those problems. When I got hit, I opted to get another stock bumper, since the Sarona/Kombat and Stillen big mouth were my only options

 

lol i cant even explain how shtty the kit is. not only is it fiberglass but the cheapest fiberglass you can buy annnnd the side skirts dont fit well at all its been 3 months and they still havent been on, shouldnt they fckin send them so they fit gooD , now i have to go get the custom molded to my car.. my 2 cents.. fck sarona

 

But i love the design though... Thats the thing.. i love how my car looks iwth the kit.. i just wish it was better built..

 

thats pretty much what i took away from this thread
