IS THERE ANY OTHER LIP KITS FOR 02-03? Gosh!

*MidN1te* · 10-24-2009, 03:13 PM

Everywhere i look its only stillen! i just want a nice lip kit but what else is out there besides Stillen for the 2002-2003?

Driving me nuts!

jasonmax · 10-24-2009, 03:26 PM

I think Stillen looks the best. anything else looks ricerly.

*DrunkieTheBear* · 10-24-2009, 04:15 PM

the old Maxtunning lip, you have to find them used though. Other then that, thats about it.

Maxtunning lip looks like the 00-01 stillen lip

Tee00Max · 10-24-2009, 06:41 PM

maxxtuning lip looks great on the 5.5 gen.

*MidN1te* · 10-24-2009, 09:07 PM

http://www.k2motor.com/lbfr-max00-abs.html

So this pretty much wont look right on my 5.5 right? maybe the rear.. but i'm afraid the front wont...

maybe i can order the front from stillen and rear from this place.. save some dough..

mariosmax · 10-24-2009, 09:21 PM

^^That front lip wont fit cause the 00-01 and 02-03 bumper are slighty different in shape iirc

cardenas621 · 10-24-2009, 09:26 PM

would anyone know if a 03 bumper fits a 01 maxima

The answer is yes. Search, there have been many threads about it.

damn!

so my only choice is the Stillen..

what about the rear of the kit i just showed? seems like the same thing...

well.. i guess stillen it is.. dont think i need the side skirts.. i have them and they look similiar...

mist max2000 · 10-25-2009, 08:36 AM

the side skirts are def different them what comes on your 02...

that being said.. the ABS one you showed is garbage material wise compared to stillen.. the ones you showed are abs plastic.. stillen is made from flexible urathane ... 100% different material in terms of fitment,.. paint application.. longevity,..paint life.. chipping..cracking... ect ect..

that being said.. stillen is the superior product...

Oh ok.. i didnt know what Stillens was made of..

well.. my maxima is now my project and i wanna make it look good... so i guess its stillen stuff then.

Thanks!

in a couple of weeks... i'll report back with my complete project..

**Puppetmaster** · 10-25-2009, 09:57 AM

Stillen or bust....

Even though I know many people think it is boring and too common....

*MidN1te* · 10-25-2009, 12:59 PM

Hey Joel..

I just looked it up and i'm gonna bite the bullet.. I'm ordering the front and rear stillen lip kit, the billet grill for the lower portion of the bumper.. and the goodridge SS brake lines..

wish i couldve gotten the maxxtuning. but not available anymore or something.

What made the Maxima your project car? Did you sell the S2000, or get out from under the Accord?

Looks good to me.

Rochester · 10-25-2009, 02:50 PM

I'm envious of Nevada plate laws. Hate having a front plate.

Roy, is that a Progress sticker on the top of your lip? Stillen? Just when you thought you had run out of places for stickers!

Once again, your ride is insanely clean.

NWP.
And trust me, I only have about 4 to 5 stickers on my car. I thought hiding it there was quite clever actually.

Not so clever we didn't spot it! That's funny, man.

Stickers are only lame on cars that are lame. That's certainly not you, so it's all good.

Maxxtuning lips come around every once in a while. Someone was selling one about two months ago. Just wait if you want one bad enough. I am not a big fan of the billet look, but to each his own. You should consider the Stillen sides as they graciously compliment the rest of the kit. I plan on getting them this Spring.

*DrunkieTheBear* · 10-25-2009, 03:52 PM

FYI, Stillen or not, both poly urthane and plastic lips will crack and shatter when hit on the highway by a truck tire

but I still prefer stillen.

and if you want a Maxxtuning lip, you need to have patience till one pops up

There is also coverting from 02-03 front bumper to 00-01...there are probably a couple of people who would love to do it as a swap.

Personally 02-03 headlights with the 00-01 bumper is a cleaner look

*MidN1te* · 10-25-2009, 07:30 PM

Rochester,

we moved way closer to work.. and things have been working great for us.. wifey's work is only 7 miles from the house now and i'm about 12...So she wanted the accord back and not only that, i have to drive now since its so close...

SO... the s2000 is done...well has been done.. and since i've gotten my maxima back, i wanted to do a few things i've always wanted to do... Finances permits and so does the boss *wifey* hahaha...

Well just looking at Joels car, i'm definately going with Stillen. i have a majestic so now i can get an idea of what mine would look like

So the S2000 is purely a toy now, you're driving the Maxima instead of your wife, and you're keeping the Accord at lease-end... that sounds pretty comfortable. I'm glad it's all working out for you.

Modding the Maxima will surely keep you entertained for a long time. Enjoy!

Grand_hustle17 · 10-26-2009, 08:35 AM

Really and truely... Maxxtuning or bust... but seeing that you'll never find one the stillen or bust lol...

yea man.. i like how its so aggressive on the maxxtuning..but good lord.. NONE.. why is that? did they go outta business or something?

anyways....still is the closest i can get to the cleanest look

*DrunkieTheBear* · 10-26-2009, 08:13 PM

maxxtuning just stopped making them thats all. couple years back.

thats why I said patience but I guess you don't have any. It takes time to mod and build and put together, just don't spend everything you got, cause afterall its just a car in the end that will end up in the junk yard someday

I have the patience but if they havent made them for a couple years, i'll go with the next best thing which to me would be the stillen. and going for a used one, it may not be in the codition i would like.

the money i got to spend is toy money.. exactly what its for...i understand its the journey, not the destination. believe me.. Having a turbo s2000, believe me its never ending. I'm enjoying my journey

this is my 2nd 2002 maxima and i've never had the chance to do what i wanted to do with that one.. got a 2nd a chance.. gonna do it...

this car is just so damn..............suuuhhweeeeet! lol

Majestic Ken · 10-26-2009, 09:35 PM

219 for that rear piece?????? maan ur not looking hard enough. i googled that and found it for 120 easy to like 150. as far as a lip, go with the real stillen front lip. the knockoff rear is the same so keep looking for that in a better price

where do you see 219 for a rear piece?

*nismomaxct* · 10-27-2009, 06:56 AM

Sportcompactonly.com used to make a replica of the MaxxTuning lip. A company on ebay had about 5 of these for sale a few months back. I guess you could keep checking ebay to see if they pop up again. If I recall they were going for $375 or something crazy.

*pbn85* · 10-27-2009, 07:12 AM

hey guys look what I found!!! Ta da! Maxxtuning FRONT LIP for $260

http://sportcompactonly.com/Nissan/M...905_vt-914.htm

BTW, i think the stillen front lip is EXTREMELY durable. My front lip fell off the car on the highway and I ran over it. I pulled up on the shoulder and picked it up and it was just a BIT bend, but the bodyshop basically repainted it and it was perfect again.

damn I didnt refresh the page to see your response

Also, IMO, maxxtuning lip only looks good on darker colored cars and the stillen lip only looks good on lighter colored cars. Ive seen on maxtuning on sheer silver, white and beige...does not look good to me.

Staticxout2 · 10-27-2009, 10:50 PM

Go with a stillen front lip and sorona sideskirts and rear bumper.

Grand_hustle17 · 10-27-2009, 10:58 PM

for the absolute best look fo real... as much as i love the maxxtuning but the stillen front, Jaydub sides (no where to be found) and AE rear................ next best is the same except maxxtuning front... 3rd is stillen front and sides AE rear

I kinda think this would look good with a CF splitter, stillin sides and rear, or the sorona rear like staticxout2 with the sidemarker instead of the pointless air vent, pfff

cmd26 · 10-28-2009, 02:54 AM

^^ ive neva seen that front bumper before wut kind is it?
