As much as we would like to believe that we always know why people do the things they do, fact is that sometimes we don't have even the slightest idea. Take this monstrously modified Nissan Maxima for example. It's as if the owner of the Kuwaiti licensed plate vehicle went into an automotive supermarket randomly picking out accessories and parts for the mix. Here's a shortlist of his "groceries": BMW 7-Series fascia, BMW M3-like front bumper, Lamborghini style front scissor doors, two-part hood, gullwing rear doors and a Supra-like rear wing are just a few of the countless items that he added to the poor Maxima. What can we say...

Well-know Nissan race driver and builder Steve Millen joined forces with the Japanese automaker to offer a full aftermarket treatment on the latest generation Maxima. Modifications to the four-door sedan include but are not limited to engine airflow management improvements, rear roof and deck lid spoilers, custom-made multispoke alloy wheels wrapped in chunky rubber and a two-tone black-and-silver paint scheme with red stripping.
