    Niiiice. Back in the day before i had my Galant, ive always pondered the possibility of doing a R34 conversion on the Maxima. Ive checked the measurements and everything. And it seems like the R34 bumper would be a nearly perfect fit for the Maxima. Anyhow, those days are long gone. Keep up the good work! :P

    If your friend is paying you to help him... invest in a digital camera if you're going to be taking all these pics ;)

    Meh, its not really my taste, but if you can get everything to fit well, and look clean its alright.
    A ricer is someone who believes that lights, stickers, useless parts, stupid driving and any other abnormal or dangerous driving habits help them in their need for speed or attention.

    Oh, is that how its supposed to work :) Everyone seems to think i do this for a living. Im helping my friend for freee ! And his camera didnt work so well at night.

    and As i have said. That was 2 am last night, and all that were done is the fenders. And i dont do this for a living, i wish that i did. This is my first body kit project ever. And it dont fit cause that whole front bumber only has 2 screws in it for the time bieng. ;) it is getting full headers + dual exaust back on monday. And well. No it dont fit quite so well. But thats why there is bondo ;) hehe. This will be my second bondo experience. I would really like to do this for a living. We will see how it turns out.

    Glad i can experiment on his car. I think i will stick with USDM front end in my galant personally. I might tackle the galant. at least the front bumper ;)

    yea, the semi cool thing is that its by no means a ricer ;) its pushin 267 hp and 302 tourque. and thats very lightly modified. only reason we are doing this is cause he got a nice insurance settlement check. and basicly the cost of what we are doing to this car, is the cost the dealership charges to replace the front core support, and headlight + repaint bumber and hood.
    But we got the CF hood. Fenders . halo projectors. R34 kit..with acutall r34 spoiler. + Clear taillights.

    actually i change my mind on the kit. it would work if u got rid of those two random squares next to eachother and the side bumper holes were shaved off
