Not a big fan of body kits, but...

... I thought this looked pretty good... minus the weak offset on the rims.

looks like 100% garbage, fits like crap. Look at their display picture, if its even their own picture with their product on it, which it isnt 90% of the time w/ the bodykits on the market.

I just liked the front bumper, the sides and rear are pretty ugly. I'm not gonna get it, I just thought the front bumper itself looked good but I'm sure there would be fitment issues.

body kits are crap for the maxima. like they said stick wit the lip kits. body kits are way to weak. the paint usually cracks and flakes cuz they flap in the wind

What do you guys think?

Fixed.....LOL J/K man

For real though...only kit I would ever get would be the stillen lip kit...

the front bumper is fugly....the main opening in the center looks like its big enough to fit like 3 intercoolers lol...the skirts and rear are nice (I have the same stlye) but IMHO steer clear of ANY fiberglass body parts if you get a kit make sure you get polyurethane

This is one of the only kits I've ever seen for the Max that I actually like.

Too bad he stopped making it.

uhh.. No, don't do this to yourself. You'll definitely get a lot of looks, just not sure if its the looks that you want.

Way too much going on...lol

Drive around with that and youll more than likely get the "What The ****!?" stare, which isnt the one you want.

On the other hand, that max at car domain with the bumper/fogs modded dosent look that bad, but dosent look that good either IMO.. Fogs throw it off and I think that gap is too big. Would most likely stay stock, or like others, go with the lip but hey to each his own.

WOW there is alot of hate for body kits on the max in here...

That kit is pretty nice, I think if thats the look you're going for and you like it then go for it. Dont let all these haters put you down.

I dont really like how you lose the front grille and have square fogs in the kit though... other than that its pretty nice.
