Nissan Teana

So I have been doing a lot of research and it appears that this generation maxima offers only a handful of aftermarket options. So I decided to check out what Japan has to offer, which is the Teana, or Nissan Cefiro to specific countries. Now I am kind of confused because they consider it a Maxima but looks like the Altima. Anyways, with all things considered, the car has a Ton of kits available. I am curious to know if anyone has tried to chop up some of these kits for their Maxima. Just wanted to go ahead and throw this idea out there. At the end of the day it's the Closest thing I can find that's completely different.

probably be just as expensive to chop up a G, Z, or Altima kit to fit.

Makes sense, but for a "one-off" kit, just ****** up a used VIP kit ( if I can find one)

The black one pictured looks too much like a Civic (front) and Acura (rear) to me. I'll just stick with what I have. Good questions though.

the M35 is also very close to our car in terms of length and fitment of the side skirt. unfortunately though also not much of an aftermarket there.

The teana and cefiro are totally different cars cosmetically vs the a35 maxima so there is no net benefit to use any of their body part kits.

Im currently tryin to find a front lip that I can chop up and make fit to the a35. Theres not much in terms of body kit options.

The only thing this car has going for it is the coilovers.

yeah still perplexed as to why we didn't get more body kits etc. performance parts i understand, not many are a fan of the CVT, but everyone loves a good body kit...

One of the best body styles maximas. I agree. There is more avail. for the Altima. This car is like the step-kid of the group.

Its probably because the a35 is not a japanese market car. I bet the japanese market would love to get their hands on it just like we love their jdm options.

Seems like a lot of new interest are forming for the a35 since the used car resale prices are becoming more and more attractive.
