Well, I went ahead and tried this out after reading about it at another forum. All parts were approx $35. The lip is actually a garage door seal, and its pretty easy to work with. I placed outdoor two sided tape in strategic spots under the bumper and then screwed the lip in place with about 9 screws up front and 4 in the rear. I used screws that had washers already installed on them which holds the lip in place quite well.

Anyways here are some pics (sorry for the blur, my iphone camera lens is scratched up):








13ft Garage door seal $14
3M outdoor mounting tape (450") $16 ( I bought the biggest roll, because I was not sure how much I really needed. You can go with less though)
14 screws with washers $5

Time around 1hr... and it is very easy to replace just incase

 

nice man also what are those wheels you are rocking and also the exhaust tips?

 

Wheels are 20x9 / 20x10.5 Concept One CS.10 Matte GM. The tips are off Ebay, but seem to be decent so far. I sprayed the inside of the tips with rust proof gunmetal paint (high heat).

I'll take further away pics once I wash the car which will show a better overall view of the front and rear lip

 

Is your car lowered and will this work on an 08 max.. Thanks
Hey by the way.. How is it look from the sides? Can you include a pic...
Thanks.. Best regards..

 

Car is not lowered yet, but plan on it being lowered in June.

I'll take the pics and post in about hr

 

looks good man def like those exhuast tips they 2.5 ID?

 

Great idea but just to let you know they sell something like that for$ 30-35 its called ez lip ypu can just google and it uses 3m tape to attach. I was actually thinking about ordering it and seeing what it looks like attached to the stillen lip

 

Can you add more pics of the exhaust tips ?? And if you dont mind the ebay link

 

Do you think it'll work for a 08 max...

 

Would it be possible.. If its not too much to if you could please post the part# s
To buy... Thanks.. Looks nice!

 

Nice!!! I like the tips and the lips!

 

Good job man, now that's thinking outside the box, I would have loved to do this especially for how cheap it is but I already orders the stillen lip. Can you get this painted as well???

 

You can order the lip from ez lip or ebay

 

this mod is very popular with the G's too

 

Yep, I checked them out first and then did my own research and decided that I get more linear ft by buying it at home depot than those offering it on ebay.. I think they offer 8-9ft and I bought 13ft. I did the front and rear, and still had about 3-4ft left over. I did go over kill on the tape though, you definately do not need 450" of it LOL. I seen some smaller rolls between $5-10 and it is the 3M brand too. Basically you can do the whole kit for $20-25

 

Whats the ebay link for the exhaust tips ?

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/RTP-Exhaust-Muffler-Tip-Turbo-Style-Black-Fused-Oval-Rolled-2-25-ID-Left-Sd-/181102036367?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a2a85c58f
But he raised his pricing big time. I paid $$86 for both inc shipping...he is now charging $126 for both shipped

 

I saw this mod on a few other cars and wondered how it would look on the Max, but never felt like giving it a shot. I'm glad someone did. It looks pretty good!

 

Nice work Big_H....The front looks very good.
Not sure but I might shape the lower aft edge to follow the WW contour bit more?
Also did you enlarge the BC openings for the dual tips?

 

Does the link still work ?

 

I installed this on my Maxima way back, I didn't like it because it looked weird with the Front Lip Spoiler. I originally used it incase I bottomed out on my driveway or potholes, but it eventually rips off. Ghozt is right, you could get this on Ebay. As I did.

 

Not bad at all. Good work!

 

Thanks! I'm ok with the alignment on the front lip... it can be done to follow the edge a bit more, hence a more distinct line than the one I show.

As for the muffler, I didnt have to cut anything at all. I have the factory tips if anyone wants to make an offer. They both are in great shape.

 

yes , I just tried it and it took me to the ebay listing

 

Cheap, easy and tacky. At least remove it from the rear.

Nah LOL It kind of fills in the spot until a rear valence comes out

This was just for fun to see what it looked like, and I'm cool with it. It's simple and if it does rip or tear, its super easy to replace. I'm not really a fan of the Stillen lip so until something else comes up then this will do for now.

 

I like the front. The rear is ok. Not a fan honestly with the rears. Love your wheels. Your Max is begging to be lowered..

 

This is awesome!

 

My vote is yay. Very simple, very clean, and adds just enough to be worth the effort. I agree I do not like the Stillen lip. This looks better IMHO. I like my rides conservative, but sharp. I like your Max.

 

looks real good

 

Very nice looking mod!

 

I agree with you doc but here in nyc everyone has a maxima so I like to make it look different and with the full stillen kit it looks really nice

 

So after looking at this mod I decided to try this on my own. I bought the materials but also bought some plastidip and some glossifier because I wanted the glossy look. It came out okay but I still need to install the screws. I figured this will do until I order the stillen lip next week.

 

looks good...i think im gonna try that

 

what's the part numbers?

 

I like it! I would need to paint it silver to match my car if I were to go with this setup.

 

Just a note on prepping the lip... You may want to hole punch the areas where you are going to use screws on the lip before installing. It helps because when you go to screw it on, the rubber foam doesn't get tangled up around the screw which may lead to an unfortunate tear....

What did it end up costing you? With and without the plastidip... Thx

 

The garage seal was $14, the screws $1.20. I already had 3m double sided tape so I didn't need that. With the plastidip and glossifier it was $30 bucks.
