I'm thinking that the black should be metalic so it shines nicely next to the pearl white. The lower edge would be a light grey, and the thin black and white lines would be two standard pinstripes?

The reason behind this is that there are some big ugly cracks in the lower half of my front bumper, and having a new one painted to match my pearl white finish will be hella expensive. Instead, I think that I could just paint a black stripe around the lower section of the car, covering the cracks. Since the cracks are in the ABS itself, not just the paint, they will eventually reopen, but should be much less visible against black paint.

So honestly, what do you think?

 

sorry but i really don't think that looks good on a max at all. and btw, what is with the spoiler? isn't having a whole paint job around going to cost about as much as just fixing the front pearl white?

 

...what he said... - especially when you consider the price of a new bumper cover.

kind of iffy but i do like it except for the wing

 

eww.. reminds me of an old crown victoria

 

Personally, I think its pretty heinous...too many silly looking stripes and such. Just my .02

don't 2-tone it

 

I agree. Just get a car bra. Much cheaper and looks better than 2 tone IMO

 

i have the dark green max......i think this would look good on it.......but i wanna see some reactions.... the front nissan symbol on the grill.....painting it like an M3 yellow....ya know clear coat and everything.......????

 

im goign with no..only two the body kit if that...peace

 

When I first looked at the pic, it reminded me of a Lexus ES300. If that's the look you're going for, its all yours.

But I don't really like the pinstripe...it makes the lines on the car look too cluttered.

 

I hope this is a Joke

 

im not big on two tone personally

 

I dont like it....especially that wing, looks like your tryin to fly....jk.

 

UGLY
U steal that wing off a 747?

 

UGly.....not good on maximas especially that wing

 

GHETTO

 

Now all you need is a rag top, fuzzy dice, and some 13" wire wheels! What are you thinkin?

 

two tone is cool but u have to find the rite colors...black and white i think does not match...esp if the car is white...try a lighter color...and maybe just tone the kit not half the car...

 

This is halarious... not 1 person has liked this.

Agree : Finish in white or Change it All.

LOSE THE WING.

 

I gotta say I don't like the paint scheme very much. Looks tacky to me. But hey its your Max, and I can't tell you what to do.

I try to be nice but this is making a run at being the UGLIEST maxima i've ever seen...save for the junkyard ones but still. and uhh that spoiler give it away!

 

Ouch, looks like it's pretty unanimous! This is why I ask you people before I jump into something, I just don't have the eye for these things.

Actually I never had that wing, I drew that in by hand. Looks like I'll be sticking with my munched up bumper cover for a few more years. $120 for the cover itself + $4-500 for a tricoat paint job from a reputable shop is more than it's worth to me. I used to have a bra, but it just doesn't fit in anymore with my drop, tint, and altezzas.

 

yeah, the 2 tone was pretty.....the other board members said it best.

anyway have u tried x-pel clear bra, i've seen one up close its pretty nice.

sorry my friend but u managed to rice your max
paint it all white and lose the wing
just my .02

 

ditch the wing. the scheme might pass if you had an I30. the two tone looks odd on a Maxima. But it might turn out different in person.
