I don't know if you have found anything yet, but there is a skyline bodykit on e-bay until Apr 22. It has a rear bumper that I haven't seen before. It goes below the exhaust.

Re: maxima body kit

get the stillen front lip (urethane) , i would go with sarona design sides, then stillen, and if you have to have the big rear get the skyline in (urethane).

i have the stillen front, sarona sides, and sarona rear, sides and rear are fiberglass. the fitment on the rear is not perfect on the skyline/sarona but urethane should be a little better than fiberglass. to me the sarona rear looks the best but both it and the skyline rear dont match up well on the sides, you cant see it in maxima pics but there is a small gap on the sides where the rear overlaps the said of the car, not bad but i would rather not have it like that, only thing a person could do is have it molded.

the sarona sides are the best to me in looks and i would get them over stillen sides for that, and the sides dont take to much of a beating.

daily driving the max takes a toll on a body kit, so you have to consider that, fiberglass will chip and get beat up with rocks and road grit. so keep that in mind. while i like the bigger rears i would go with stillen next time on the rear.

remember the kits cost a few dimes and then to paint them cost even more, so try to get some good quality especially up front.

also with the sarona rear there is a hole on the back your muffler would go through and that presents some trouble. have to make sure your muffler is lined up and the tip comes out straight and secure also. if not the muffler can rest on the rear bumper and crack it underneath.

people that are into weight reduction should also keep in mind the kit adds some weight which makes the stillen kit look much better.

stillen front lip - under 5lbs
sarona sides - 3.5 - 4 lbs a piece
(these rears replace rear oem bumper)
sarona rear - 17 lbs
skyline rear fiberglass - approx 22 lbs
skyline rear urethane - aprrox 32 lbs

Re: maxima body kit

why don't you just skip the body kit and paint you car white with pink spots...it will be equally ugly but less expensive
