Just had a journey of upgrading my 95 Nissan Maxima..
Have total maintenance bills of possibly $1500.00 So felt It was time to make some changes... Inside... and Outside. Have a few peeps tell me it's Murdered! So let me know. I may post the journey pics later...

Before:


After:

 

 

i see you're ready to go off road

 

What makes you say that?

 

@OP, looks awesome, but get ready for a lot of jealousy and hate..

 

It's murdered Alright.... And not in a good way. But, if you like it then that's cool.

 

not feeling the bumpers

 

How much did paint job cost you?

 

Guy let me use his paint booth.
I paid around $70 for paint tape...

 

Please elaborate.. just interested to know peoples opinions... Just don't like the kit/ color/ what?

 

Diggin the matte black but not the bumper/fender combo. Also to truely "murder" u gotta limo tint them windows n slam that shyte.....hence the comment about offroading.....

 

i like it... front end looks like an r32/33 gtr and i'm diggin the flat black w/ tan BUT you have too much body work with tiny wheels and no drop so it looks weird.

you need 18's and a 2 inch drop. to make it ideal i'd get spacers to get the wheels flush with the fenders.

 

I'm diggin the comments.. keep um coming....
1 thing is that I know nothing about drops... spacers.... Would dropping it cause me to hit the ground more? Already crawling over speed bumps.

 

I dont know about murdered out, but you definitely killed it.

 

ibtl

 

You did good job with painting but me personally I don't like the fender and Hood that's about it and you should drop the car on coil or springs

 

dude, you def changed it, you need a drop and 18's like op said. it aint all bad, i'd like to see it with a clear coat and some 350z's on her ( not painted ) and some 35% tint man. not bad so far, just looks half done

 

Also the bumper I like the 4th bumper with the all around lip but that's my opinion everyone have own if that what you like go with it..I want to see what it look like with tint all around

 

LMAO.

 

Not yet...

 

As much as I hate to say it that car looks like.....



Might want to post a link to it here. ~Post Pics of your Local Ricers~

I think I can hear the 'Troll Army' assembling.

 

Car needs:

1. lower
2. remove all the hideous 'vents' all over it
3. Debadge

And you have some win. It's still a little ghetto and ricey but it actually has potential. It's different, which can be good, but not with all those vents on it and the 4x4 stance.

 

oh, and what are you doing about signal lights here???????

 

this.

none of those body panels are sitting flush with each other. the whole thing looks halfassed.

 

Reminds me of back in the day when The Fast & The Furious first came out.

I would at the very least, get some springs/coilovers asap.

 

different. but not bad....kinda Mad Maxish

 

Hahahaha I'm glad I saw that

But yea, it would look better lowered like everyone else said

 

you have to lowered your car, why didn't you go with the front & rear lips?

 

I have a turn signal strip that is pretty thin but will go in one of the front bumper air intakes. I'm not 100% on which one/ where... and if I should do some projector fogs... but they should be on hand next week... .I'll start experimenting then.

Your thoughts?

 

LOWERRRRRRRRRR

 

Not my cup of tea but who gives a fawk its not my car and you like it

 

Looking good man, if you like it disregard the critics, make your car look the way YOU want it to look. Personally i think if you drop it 2" and get a nice set of wheels and maybe some tints its complete!

 

lolololol but forreal tho you could revive it i think.

 

I wouldn't lower it. I'd lift it and put some off road tires on it.

 

:metalmax:

 

please point out where it doesn't sit flush with the other body parts... it looks dumb right now cause the kit is aggressive + 4x4 ride height and piano wheels


you guys are weird... have you seen the ricer thread? this isn't even close to riced out and murdered, maybe just a small flesh wound lol i've seen maxima's with gay altezza's fart cans and giant spoilers, real and glue-on hoodscoops/vents. the only thing thats perhaps ricey is the upper fender vents and a rear bumper diffuser but it somehow fits cause the whole body kit is aggressive.

OP search and go read the how to's and stickies for lowering, tein s-techs are good for a low drop on a budget. i'd suggest that you have AT LEAST good stock struts and that the rest of your suspension is in good shape BEFORE you get them... i'd recommend these 350z rims in original silver

if you're already crawling with the kit over speed bumps then you should've not got the kit and just got coilovers. without the drop the kit will look silly imo. no body kit maxima w/ drop on nice rims looks pretty good too

 

Not a fan of body kits or fenders at all but it actually doesn't look all the bad in flat black. I'd drop it at least 2 inches. Get some nice 18" wheels with a nice offset.

You should have shaved the door bumpers, power antenna and keyhole in the trunk. I'd debadge it too.

 

To each its own, I would tint the windows, smoke the tails, and like everyone else says lower it and put some 18's, other than that I like it that's the same color I want for my datsun 720

 

:bowr ofl:

 

It doesn't look too bad, but I actually like the way it was in the first pic. That and a drop on coilovers and you would have been set IMO. Still, you can make it work by ridding all the Aftermarket bumpers and a big drop
