Updated pics of my maxima with Carbon fiber frontend.
Finally got everthing installed except for the bumper lights and cf gas lid which will be here next week. Im going to have to raise it up a tad bit since turbo piping is less than inch off ground and don't want to scrape bumper up around my crappy road town. more pics are at http://s91.photobucket.com/albums/k2...ma%20pictures/
4th gen. items FS:
-2 sets of 9004 bulbs ($10/set).
-1157 red LED bulbs ($5).
-OEM bumper lights ($20).
-License plate light assembly ($10).
-PM me if interested.
-Shipping/PayPal fee not included..
I didn't even know we had more carbon fiber parts for our cars. I just thought it was hood and trunk. But looks good for a show car not a dd. To many nicks and all from the roads I wouldn't try this lol so big ups to u.

I don't think these are readily available for our cars. I think he had these made for him.

The car looks like horrible. The car does not looks clean at all being 2 colors, front cf and the rest white. Atleast paint the cf panels to match the body...
The only reason you all like the look of that is because you put cf on some pedestal as the be all end all. Just because something is CF doesn't make it badass. While the cf in this case might be functional, it looks trashy.

Everyone has different tastes; yours isn't CF and that's fine. It's a very extreme car, so it won't be everyone's cup of tea, and it's not supposed to be. Brandon likes it so that's really all that matters. Also, it's good to see people doing stuff that hasn't been done before. That's half the fun of modifying a car, to personalize it. If there weren't people pushing the limits and trying new things, then everyone's car would look the exact same. ie; Stillen lip kit, 18"s, and a mild lowering...oh wait, that's how most Maximas look. Or at least that's how they looked a few years back when I still had one. If no one ever pushed the limit, then there would never be any new parts for the car.
BTW, Brandon, I'd look into doing the CF roof cap. Since you already have the trunk, it would flow better. But I think you told me that you were already researching it.

I give alot of props for it being unique and for bringing something new to the table. But I have to aggree that it gives the car an unfinished look. Sort of like two styles clashing.
From the side mirrors back, the car has a smooth, clean and sleek style. But from that point forward, the car has a mean aggressive "darth vader" type of thing going on.
Something just needs to be done to mesh the two styles better. Maybe some carbon fiber mirrors. And If something could be done about where the side skirts meet with the fender, it would flow a little better IMO.
But keep up the good work. The car has deffinately come a long way though and is already awsome the way it is.

That's pretty hot!!!! I think it'd be cool to do like a fade or gradient on the CF maybe a design so that it looks like the car started white. Then just bc the car is so fast the white paint looks like its coming off and you can see the front of the car is CF while the rest is white. If you know what I mean. Hard to explain but best way I can describe is a gradient from cf to white if you want it to blend.
I saw that on a car at one of our local meets. Linked the pic and if you can see around the hood vents the topmost vent has a paint gradient fade. Not saying to paint all your panels a solid color but maybe do a fade around all the body panels that join the white body panels to give it that. Fast look...
if you wanted to do that, make it look like the white paint is ripping away from the CF. if you could find someone to paint a CF looking graphics on the doors but give it that affect. it may look sick

yeah... you could paint cf graphics on white doors ORRR you could not be a tard and paint white on the cf panels.

Thats something ive been looking into.
They make them for the G and 350z but I haven found a company interested in doing it for the max.

They would be the best way. Dont know why anyone would consider painting a simulated CF when the car already has CF and just needs the paint applied to the end sections to demonstrate the tearing effect.

The car is a show car, the bold CF front end is an instant attention grabber and at a car show its sure to get points, especially with it being a Maxima which dont fall into the normal modded catergory.

Hehe yep that's why I was trying to get at. CF replica should not be tough. Will keep in touch w/ you when I get more customizing under my belt.

I never denied this car being unique. I never said cf was trashy. I said the cf in HIS car looked trashy, which it does. The front does not flow with the rear aesthetically speaking. If you think it looks clean then...you have problems...
I am not hating hard. When someone posts his/her car on a forum, there will be some ppl who like it, and some who don't. You can't get EVERYONE to like your car. And since he made a PUBLIC thread I am not out of place for voicing my opinion. Get over yourself.

i might even consider (given you have the funds) to put the CF fenders into production. or at least offer it if you're willing to do so. this would spring up at least a decent amount of interest. but most org-ers are cheapa5s low ballers so i guess that wont work.
It wouldn't be worth it. Believe me, I have lots of experience in this area. Back in the day, I prototyped custom fenders, a Type II wing after they went out of production and some other stuff, but when it came down to it, no one wanted to pony up the money it would cost, so I just kept them as one offs or used them for my car.
Plus I know what those fenders and that bumper cost him. Very, very few people would be willing to pay anywhere near that to get it done.

i wouldnt doubt the high costs and unworthiness of such an endeavor. but i still love the fact that someone actually did it. if i were still into modding my maxima, id pony up the greenbacks for a set of CF fenders. but like you said, people here cant justify it and there arent enough hardcore members that want to fork over the amount. oh well.
nice car bro! that thing is sex!
