hey should i debadge my max?

Does it look good on a 96 black max with red clears? Also what comes first... droppage or new rims? Well basically its my choice, but I was thinking of dropping it on the honey combs i got atm . HAHA maybe it'll look cool

Are you just going for a drop or are you looking to improve the handling while at it? And yes, debadge will look great

Negative, debadging always screams Uncle Ben's to me.

Keep the badging, be proud to be a maxima owner.

Drop and rims are a good start for it though.

obviously its a personal and subjective choice


i chose to debadge mine. out of the GLE, nissan burger and MAXIMA i took the GLE and burger off. i kept the MAXIMA.


looks way cleaner. everytime i look at the trunk im glad i did it.


plus it only took an hour or so. by far one of the easiest "mods" ive done.

Thats how I did mine too. If the trunk lock wasn't there I may have considered taking the MAXIMA off but after having it this way for 4 years I think I would leave it on even if the trunk lock wasn't there.

yea the trunk lock is EXACTLY the reason i kept the maxima on there - cuz it lines up perfectly flat with it. looks fluid.

Debadging looks best with red clears IMO. Gives it a very clean, fresh look. I don't know why I waited so long to do mine, it was so easy.

definately debadge! then drop, dont go cheap, get some good stuff that you can handle, you'll love it and use it more often than you think. I sure do. Then get some tint and then some wheels!

I personally like to leave mine with badges on. I like the sleeper factor.

I hear ya... with a debadge no one will be able to tell that you drive a maxima and, consequently, they wont realize that it can SMOKE their stupid Evo!
