Does anyone know how to give the maxima an angry look?

I been trying to figure this out all last 2 weeks..... Since i got the R33 or R34 headlights from ebay.. whichever one it is.. I been trying to figure out how i can make my car have a mean look from the front end. but with the projectors there, i don't know what tactic to use. anyone got any idea? I tried to see what eyelids would do.. but that didn't do it for me... now if we could retro silvia headlights on the max, that be a different story.. but hopefully you guys should have something.




EDIT

ok. I went in fireworks (knock off of photoshop) to redo the lights.. and i did.. so what you guys think? has any taste for the R34's?

The Stock Maxima already Has an aggressive look to it. It all depends on the color of your car if you ask me... Lip kits are always nice.. Headlight Eyelids.. Angel Eyes, Projector Retro... Theres Alota ways to do it... How deeps your pocket book.

I agree with the right fog kits it would give it a definite boost in aggressiveness.

Why would you paint the hood black? A faux carbon fiber look? ...why not just actually get a carbon fiber hood?

^ lol i got them off nycmax. i would hate to be a stalker lol

offset front license plate works too



make sure the car is lowered too. width/offset of wheels also matters. it gives it a mean look when the wheels are perfectly flush with the fenders

How about losing the front plate all togeather. It messes up the flow. Lower the car 2 inches, and do something withthe emply holes in the bumper, like brake ducts

Repaint the front end to make it Evo style

Then add on some of those headlights with red angel eyes, and a red LED washer nozzle thingy like the post suggested above and buy a skull license plate cover, and 17" or 18" black rims with a red lip, and install some red neon under the car... and you've got a car that will haunt the minds of little kids.

mean = an animal hiding behind the bushes waiting to pounce. Therefore, you need shrouds to make those 'eyes' look like they are lingering 'behind' something by making them partially cutoff by the top, bottom, or side of the housing unit, or/in cunjunction with some brows.

You have projectors already? Quads or duals?

IIWY, I'd get "owl eyes" like this guy has - angel eyes that are closer to a half-circle shape, and tilted.

for what you have right now, get rid of the lisc. plate and holder, possibly black out the turn signals, get some eyelids, but most def. have to lower it, with some nice wheels. My personal opinion is keep it clean and simple

Try reinstalling the front bumper up side down it would give it the ultimate angry look.

honestly, you should put the stock bumper back on and a stillen lip, my car sits pretty agressive, i think. Try hood pins those are kind of b.a. if you have a cf hood like me .. it would help if my car was lowered though

hoodpins look crappy,not agressive. I wish they werent needed. The hood looks so much cleaner without them.
