I think it'll look even better if you get the grills powdercoated with black.

looks weird. it woudl look cool if there was a intercooler in there. you also got rid of the foglight holes in the bumper as well? why not the corners as well? i dont know. i like how the 95-96 lip looks ona 95-96 max better.

Very unique and different. I would suggest to make it all one color, and get rid of the lower windshield banner.

I love how there is no more ripples were fog light covers are on a GLE, thats what I love the most on that bumper more then anything, 2 tone is sweet too, but dont care much for the meshes, Good work though, keep it up buddy.

i think you did a good job at being different. i only know of one other max who has shaved the fog area on his 95/96 so props to that. more pics from farther away would be nice...good creativity though!

Amen. Its great to see that you took a more creative route, but maybe with paint and some clear corners please! it should look more decent.

goodluck.

Just a suggestion because I've done this in photoshop and the best look is this:


You would want to smooth out the lower valance more, the part where the middle bar used to be. You will need to fill some parts in with body filler, then paint to match. Also, I think that black mesh is better since it will not stand out like yours does. The silver mesh is overkill IMO.

Good efforts though.

howd you shave the foglight "ripples" or whatever? probably alot of work huh.
i like the cut out bar too, but yeah, you can see that itwas cut out, should do something about that.

I agree with a lot of people, I think the silver mesh is a bit overkill. Also I think on the Nissan emblem it would look better either centered or shaved completely. I do like the look of the headlights with the eyelids, though maybe clear corners would flow better with that black/silver look of everything else.

It is definitely different and creative, looks like it was a lot of work. How'd you get rid of the foglight ripples?

actually if you Black out everything it should look much better. Grill mesh, paint bumper, get clears (keep them clear) I think you might have something. . .

We hope this material that you are using is not blocking air passages to the radiator.
