Stillen 7th gen for SEMA

So there's a post on the Stillen blog about parts for the 7th gen check it out.

Wonder why they blurred out the headlights, another mod maybe??

I'm diggin the roof wing... not the rear spoiler so much. Need a shot from further back. So far intake kit, grounding kit, cat back exhaust, big brake kit and sway bars.
Seems that the aftermarket is just getting started with this car.... makes me happy.

Looks great except the AP big brakes are probably no better then what Stillen offers for the 6th Gen so I would eventually look up fastbrakes and see what they offer

ha! You haven't seen anything yet. The car is basically finished for SEMA, and has really transformed.

I'll get some pictures up as soon as I can, I believe they will be released Friday just before it his the transporter on it's way to Las Vegas.

Parts are almost available, we'll have pricing on them soon.

I beg to differ.. there is a front and rear AP Racing 4-Piston setup that will choke you with the seat belt if you dump the pedal.

If you've never been in a car with an AP Racing setup I'd encourage you to find a way, you will be amazed. It's ridiculous.

I said it once and I'll say it again. The 7th gen will be the best looking modded maxima.

It will take a little longer for it to grow on me but it's growing on me. I did start to like the 6th gen in it's last year. Maybe if the front grill of the 2009 was recessed more I would like it.

The 6th Gen in general is shown no love. How bout a splitter to go under the Stillen lip for the 6th Gen like the one I made out of abs plastic?

We didn't have time to finish it before SEMA, but we're doing a urethane surround with recessed mesh grille.. For SEMA we painted the grille and smoked the logo..

The very fact they went to the trouble of blurring the headlamp assembly tells us they have something underway there. I look forward to seeing what they have done. We all know they will get rid of the lower trailing tab. They may get rid of the lower half of the entire headlamp assembly.

nice, you guys need some better wheels =p down the street theres VIP Modular, the guys there are awesome at making quality wheels with custom fitment... next time next time
see you guys at SEMA at the Nissan section 2nd floor in the truck section again? =/

and as far as AP Brakes go... they are the ish, I have then on my Maxima and my 240sx, and my Q45 is in the works.
Porsche uses brembo on their factory cars.... and AP on their Lemans cars...

I agree. The wheels, in my opinion, are the weakest part of the car. Nice work. I am always happy to see quality aftermarket parts available.

I would like to hear that catback exhaust they put on....

and I see some other mods that could be done easily, like blacked out headlights and tinted tails

Also that thing looks lowered, is eibach making an appearance with some lowering springs

I'll work on some sound clips when it comes back from SEMA.

The tail lights are smoked, painted actually, just done a little lighter than a full limo style..

Eibach is still working on the R&D for those springs, we used the Maxima's sibling springs.. mounted perfectly.. 2" front drop and a 2" rear drop.

Haven't driven it since the install, I'm sure the spring rates are way off, but for the show they will work great, and we'll swap them back for production Eibach Pro-Kit's after SEMA.
