that's the best kit I've seen yet (too bad it's photoshopped)
I'd defintiely be interested but first a few questions:

1) Is the front and rear bumper complete replacements or similar to
the stillen kit?
2) who will be producing these kits?
3) Fiberglass or urethane?
4) If you had ten buyers right now how long until we can have the kits
shipped to our door?
5) Will we be able to keep our sidemarker lights?
6) will we be able to keep our stock fog lights?

this info would really help in my decision.
thanks

1. full bumper replacement. it would be impossible to reshape the grill and sqare off the bumper if it were only an add on.
2. altima8 will be producing the kit.
3. ive heard either 4 or 5 layer fiberglass.
4. .......
5. depends on if they integrate them on the kit or not. (i would hope so, since it is illegal to drive without a front side marker)
6. stock fogs would probably not fit in the openings, even if they did, they would look kinda ugly.





i would add myself to the first ten sure buyers, but i dont happen to have that kinda of cash to install a kit on my car.

aiite, lets see...

i dont know why, but none of MaximaZero's pics are loading now...
try these links...i can see em when i reply though, thats weird,not when im in the actual thread though...

front... http://www.orbit3d.com/view.phtml?id=994.jpg
side/rear... http://www.orbit3d.com/view.phtml?id=998.jpg

if that doesnt work, then i dunno...ask MaximaZero.....

Bernie, dont worry bout my name, i get people pronouncing it w/ letters that dont exist sumtimes, but its spelled Adarsh....

4) i think altima8 said it would be about 2weeks to a month before they can start producing the kit after its been decided on, so i guess you could be looking at 6-8 weeks, just a guess though...

and as long as altima8 decides to produce em, it seems that the r34 kit is the new kit for the 5th gen maxima's...and money, once again, you're gonna have to talk to altima8

if anybody has any other questions, please try to direct them to altima8 cuz he can probably answer any questions you have better than i or anybody else can; but if you feel the need to, go ahead and post it here.....got a lot of ppl interested, i think..good stuff

Could you guys make the grill the same shape as stock like in my sig, since it is a complete bumper replacement? (It still has the stock grill)

I would buy if you had this rear bumper and the R34 front bumper.

I like the rear of the first pictures posted.

If this kit is made... I will own it. But I cannot commit until I see it on a car, I have to see before dropping my $$ on it. Sorry.

But if it looks like this kit and is a simple setup to complete, I will buy it as soon as it comes out!

problem with that is that no one manufactures the kit yet. there will be no real pics for a few months at least.

The front

Looks Great but the back causes mixed emotions. It would be nice to point to an aftermarket fog light system that would mount directly into your kit....make for an easier sell for those of us not wanting to give them up.

It's going to be the American GT-R. And actually I think it looks REALLY hott. 20 Inch rims with those SWEET taillights..I just think it looks awesome and it'll have the power to knock the socks off the american muscle cars.

ok, about the whole m5 vs r34 rear bumper: im mixed on it. the regular r34 rear bumper is definitely way too boxed out to match the rear of the 5th gen. it wouldnt look right, inf fact the r34 bumper would be amost exactly the same as the one on the ninja kit.



i REPEAT: THE R34 REAR IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE NINJA REAR.

and judging from the opinions ive read, the ninja kit is just way too boxed out to match the rear of the 5th gen. i propose to combine the m5 and r34 rears. when you compare them, they actually look kind of similar.



the main differences between the two is that the m5's is a lot smoother, and lacks the "fins" sticking out that the R34's has. why don't we just combine them?

I agree with myownismo.... I am not down witht the BMW look. In fact I would rather the look follow something of the Nissan Nature since this is a nissan and not an BMW. I like the one that Nismo posted above or the one on the left in this pic

But to be really cool would be the whole R34 rear end too taillights and all. But I could really go for the one I like.
