I don't like Octane kits. They make Maximas look plain nasty. Like scopium said, to each there own taste..

No offense, but that body kit looks better suited on a civic(kinda rice). I just think it takes too much of the originally shape of the max. since you still have the sarona kit, if I were you, just put the sarona front bumper back on and keep the rest of the octane kit(the rear looks real nice on that one).

Now that a custom!!!!!!!!!

I see that fitment sucks.

And the rear just spells out nasty. Why not just go with the Stillen kit? Better fitment and looks a bit cleaner.

You would think that a rapper could afford to ball with a little more style than this.

hmmm its not to bad, but it looks like u have more fitment issues w/it than i do and i have a 2002 bumper on my 2000 max. have the body shop do something bout that gap. i was ganna get the whole kit, but i did not like the back so i went w/ a custom sarona rear for dual exhaust.

The front seems to have fitment issues under the center hood portion. I like the front and sides, but the back is a bit much for me....

Personally when doing mods I would get lowered first, then wheels, then a kit.

I like the look of the kit but the fitment in the middle of the hood and under the headlights looks to have a huge gap, is that normal with this kit?

looks pretty good, the fitman in the front kinda sucks, and i dont like the back. but i like the style of the front, and the sideskirts. also looks like you got some good paint on there, looks like it matches real good. get the gap in the front fixed, and after you get rims and lower it, the car will look real good.

I'm getting my car out of the shop today with the Stillen Aero kit installed. I'll post some pics so you know how it's supposed to be done. You've changed it out once, you can do it again and restore the car to something acceptable. Good Luck.

LOL i havent seen anything worth anything from you lol.... and yea i do rap. that dont mean i do it for the money.... Besides i dont put all my money in my car i rather spend it on stuff for my studio


anyways the front sticker says Frisbees Racing its a local shop.

the fitiment of the kit is actually really good except for that front gap in the hood. The headlight gap is because I put the 02 headlights and im waiting for the headlight clip to come i from the dealership to hold it in place since it was broken in the accident

the reason i got this instead of the still aero is Savage kabbage gave me a good deal on it. he got it from the group deal. Eventhough he screwed me outta 160 bux because i had paid him for shipping he sent it off without paying shipping so i had to pay it again.

Like i said i know i need rims hence te first post.

Yes the same guy put this on and it shines this was the day after it rained and i didnt wash the car so of course the paint is going to look dull. and yes this kit fits much better then the sarona i hated the sarona

I really hate these kits and why would you put something on like this w/ the 4x4 wheel gap. The kit takes away from the smooth lines the maxima has. Sorry man, but I'm not diggin it.

hmmm...I wouldve never gotten a kit like that without getting rims first. RIMS shouldve been your first thing to get...oh well. With that big kit you need 20" at least! its HUGE!

Just saw this....

Ignoring the horrible hood/headlight fitment, if they toned down the "fog area" scoops and completely eliminated the front lip, I think it would look much better *IF* YOU HAD AN INTERCOOLER~!

Any photochop experts out there mind filling in the fog area more like stock, removing the front lip, and patching up the hood/headlight gap please?

Don't laugh too hard, but with a crude paint program, I think this sort of gives an idea what I want:

I think it looks silly with no rims and stock ride height. Like others have said, you would have to put some big rims on it and a low drop to make it look decent. Right now it looks worse than most honda's i see on the street. Sorry.
