I think trying to make a already existing kit work looks very bad. I have seen some done and they just don't look right, especially anything from the 90's and on up. The 2nd gen maxima is so square you reall need to look for a square car. the only think i can think of that comes close would be and middle 90's BMW or something like that. I think the skyline is still to round for the max. here's a picture of a max with a body kit that was made for the car. you can see it is very square. However this kit would look better if the car in the picture was lowered!

Avalon42 (That is his car you have pictured there) didn't lower the car because he didn't want rubbing from the 18's he had. That's the kit made by Kamanari....you can problem find them for a pretty cheap price now.

Yes i also think groundeffects.com has the kit as well. I do have this front body kit and it was made by Kamanari. I bought it when i was 17 or so, put it on for about a week, and then got my 300zx. I kept the maxima but just took the front body kit off. plus it was never painted and i did not want to be seen as one of those honda guys with multi-colored car.

to keep a long story short i started to spend money on my 300z and then used the maxima as my winter car(it performs a lot better in the snow vs. the z). but recently since i am driving the max now and the z is parked, i have built an interest in modding the max again. I am looking to find the stock front air dam that came from nissan for my SE. However if i don't find one then i may paint and put the kit back on. But i would like to find the air dam first and see which one i like better.

But that air dam is hard to find and i dont even know if nissan still makes it.
