Do you guys think I should put a front spoiler on my max?

I was cruising around the stillen site the other day and I saw this...

It looks pretty good, I was thinking of putting it on. How do you guys think it would look?

Yeah, looks nice. . .I've got one at home that I haven't put on yet. . ..We usually call it a front lip.
Costed me 220 shipped from Southwest autoworks.

I didn't know what you were talking about with the whole "front spoiler" thing. Yeah, get a front lip if you want one. It will prolly look good with your wheels.

Personally I don't like the look of just a front lip... looks incomplete.

And please do not even think about it until you've lowered that guy.

Just the lip without the entire kit looks retarded.

does anyone know of any maximas that have this installed that arent lowered?

why do you guys say u must lower the car 1st?

I was thinking about getting a body kit, doesnt that make the car look lower?

Sorry for being dumb but it looks like it lowers the car about 2-3 inches and then another 1-2 inches on the lowered suspension just seems to be tooo low.

I always thought u should get stiffer suspension b4 a body kit just for less suspension travel so you dont hit the ground.

it might look lower from the front or back, but when you look at the sides, you will definetly see the HUGE wheel gap. just doesn't look right in my opinion.

A body kit will make bottom of the car look lower, while the wheel wells are still the same height from the tops of the tires. It will look bad. Trust me.

I've got a body kit and am dropped 1.7"/1.5" with Progress springs, and it's not too low. I scrape up the front lip sometimes, but polyurethane can take the abuse. I rarely scrape the actual car.

hehe, I only have the skyline back, waiting on somekind of urethane front like the m-3 style bumper, prolly going sarona type 2 sides as soon as this weather stops.
