I'm working out some things with wings west. I donno on prices, but who here wants a Wing west kit? I'm sure we all may, but who is will to pay for one?

I'm pushing to get it marketed again.

 

we need a pic

 

heh, you better get a running start cause you headed for a wall

 

:
once they design something post a pic so that it can be nit-picked to death and killed before they waste the money on making one

 

designed? the Wings West kit already exists for the 89-94 Maxima...it has for years, it was just discontinued from their lineup(probably because of lack of buyers...go figure)

 

$tillen or bust

 

if they make the front lip out of urethane, i'll be all over it like white on rice and stink on sh*t

 

indeed

 

Good luck man I tried to get a custom skyline kit pushed once it does not work... got 3 out of 10 needed people , best of luck but it is an uphill battle Hail Stillen

 

Are you talking about one of these kits?

ah, Kaminari (or Sarona, basically a knock-off). Still one of the best looking complete bumper replacement kits for the 3rd gen.

 

I assumed that everyone has seen the WW kit, I'll post what they sent me when I get back. This isn't a group deal, I just wanted to see what kind of enthusiasm existed.

 

you're about to have a rude awakening

 

A lot of us have wanted the kit for a long time.......it's not so hot to just guage everyone's opinion if there's going to be no action taken

 

Well regardless of aw89maxSE opinion. The action being taking is, I'm getting the last kit from WW, when it's installed, painted etc. They want pics to market it AGAIN. So, it will be out AGAIN.

 

less talk, more action, more pics...next post

 

kit will be here in 4 weeks... they can't make it any faster

 

I'm just talking about past times when people have come and said stuff like this and nothing happened and it's hard to tell what you wanted in the beginning of this thread, but it's all good....No hard feelings!

 

is it too much to ask for them to remake the front lip in urethane?

 

I've been asking myself that same question for sooo long now

 

why do you guys only want the front in urethane? are you guys notorious for slamming into curbs or what?

 

you're more likely to hit something(ie road debris, parking blocks, etc.) in the front than any other part of the car....thats my guess. plus the front fascia are usually the most expensive piece sometimes

 

I just like the front a lot and since I'm poor now, that's my best bet for some kind of kit.

 

because its more durable. ask a body-man what you're better off having. ever see any complaints about urethane kits? i've seen a few but it was nothing major. i'm not doubting the WW quality but it is fiberglass. ever wonder why 5mph bumpers ARENT made out of fiberglass? you dont always have control over what happens to your car so why screw around?

 

I scrape the ground now with stock ride height and no kit!
Friggin' speed bumps everywhere I go.

 

I do too as well although not due to speed bumps. Maine roads just suck sometimes.

 

Ick I'm gonna have to strongly disagree with you there..

All the kits are fugly except for the Stillen. The modified WW front looks good, but only the front, and only when modified.

 

I have never been a big fan of the sides but the rear is kinda cool on the ww.

I dont think that the Kaminari is a true bumper replacement anyway. If you look at the kit (not going by what customa maxima says) it looks like it attaches to the top groove in the bumper. I am almost positive it is not a true bumper replacement. I may be wrong though since I havent seen one in person to check it out.

 

Any one at all have a pic of the WW kit? I dont believe I've ever seen one...

 

WW kit.

check his site for more pics

click here for his site

There are others on ebay that have it too. Sidney had it on his old car...it was called something else but its the same design that WW bought. Check out the 92 maximas on cardomain and look for a white maxima...I believe he is one of the first or the very first listed there.

 

i have to disagree. although do like my stillen kit, i could do alot more with it if it was fiberglass. plus if fiberglass cracks, you can fix it. if urethane is cold it will crack and thats the end of it, although the stillen kit is very durable. oem bumpers are made of urethane for the sake that they are cheaper to produce, and are more durable from everyday abuse.(injected mold as opposed to having to be hand laid, and although alot of cars are built with glass( like the vette) their panels arent as complex as a wrap around bumper so they can be molded. btw corvette bumpers are urethane too)

but ask most any bodyman, they dont like fixing urethane parts. there's no way to guarantee that the filler will stick(there's no chemical bold between even urethane repair kits and urethane) so one minor tap and the filler will crack right off and then its their fault. on the other hand, fiberglass will crack, but it can be repaired over and over again, until the piece is a big melting pot of resin and fillers. fitment wise its alot easier for the average joe to mount a stillen kit that fits like crap(mine did). and you use double sided tape and some rivets where you can hide them, but if they come off the kit looks like crap again.my friend has a 240 coupe,no body kits were made for the coupe, only the HB,and the rear is different. it cut it into 8 pieces and molded it back together, filled in a a tow hook hole and dropped the height of it 2 inches and it looks great. couldnt do that with urethane. both have their pro's and con's.

 

for my purposes i think urethane is a much better choice. i'm sick of having downtime. urethane seems more durable if you're just going to put it on and forget it, which is what i plan to do. i agree you can definitely do more with fiberglass but its not an install it and forget it thing. to each their own.

so the WW front lip is still fiberglass? i doubt they're willing to make it out of urethane just for the few kits they'll sell. oh well, i'll have to bit the bullet and deal with the fiberglass...any ideas on front lip cost??

 

That Wings West kit looks awesome.

 

Yeah after seeing that kit, I want a kit for my max... I want either this kit or the Erebuni type 111 kit... maybe a combo of the 2...

 

Def. work on getting the WW kit back. I've been looking for a kit and the WW kit would look great on my max!

 

Finally I got some solid input, learned alot from jaun too. The kit fiberglass, not a full bumper replacement either. The time frame on the kit being back on the market I hope will be 4 months. But before I go the trouble of repainting the whole car and sending out pics to WW. I want to shave the door handles and such. Gotta do something about the tail lights, I donno wether to replace them or shave in some WRX tails.

Glad to hear the enthusiasm, I'll be working on it.

 

who's jaun?

 

originality anyone??

 

theyre on the most popular mod list along with clear corners and fstb's
