Front and rear lip

Hello everyone, I was thinking about getting a front and rear lip for my 2000 max and I was wondering if anyone on here has them? I wanted to know if it would look right with just the lips or would it look funny because the sides are stock? I thought about getting a full lip kit, but I have only found a couple of sites that have them.

Stillen is the place to go. IIRC the 00-01 Maxima doesn't come stock with side skirts but the 02-03 does. So in your case you will want to go with the 4 piece kit.

Thanks for all the responses. Do any of you have any idea about how much it should cost to get it installed? From what I have read is that it will be cheaper to install than a body kit, but I can't find an estimated price.

On a 5th gen it will look bad with only front and rear lip. Buy the whole lip kit from stillen. The labor for paint and installation will depend on your location and shop you have it done at.

Has anyone heard of raceappealkits.com? They have a stillen replica for $380 with shipping included. I also stumbled upon a site called K2, but they only sell the front and rear bumper for $177.

Go with Stillen. They said direct fit models. Polyurethane as well so they don't break or crack.

If you want a cheap replica then go with the race kit, but if you hit concrete slab or something with the lip, im sure it will crack

Is the 20th anniversary kit better than the stillen kit? Someone on craigslist is selling a 20th anniversary kit. There is also someone selling a stillen front bumper and another person selling the stillen rear. How can I tell if they are authentic stillen parts or replicas?

Stillen parts are STAMPED. Stillen is polyurethane and won't break if you bend it. Replicas are made of plastic and will break if bent.
