I picked my car up from the body shop last week. I didn't quite get all the pics of the damage from the shop, but oh well. Here's the hood damage. This was existing when I bought the car coming up on 8 years ago. It almost looked like some tried slamming the hood down while some tools were sitting in the engine by. It's also hard to see from the pic but there are a lot of circular scratches from someone's toddler taking a rock to my hood. I watched it unfold. I was pissed.

The bumper was also incredibly chipped up and the driver's side fender had a size-able dent due to some yahoo hitting my car in the middle of the night. Here she is now!!!

The quote I got was $700 for everything which included body work on the hood/fender and repainting the bumper, fender, and hood.

When I first got her. She started life as a bone stock automatic, tranny started giving my some issues so I did the complete HLSD 6 spd swap, couldn't be any happier with her now.

Hahahahahahaha. I didn't look too much into it to be honest. She was knocking and smoking like a banshee. I had a spare that I was planning on swapping in that didn't burn a drop anyways. 275 lb paper weight... OR coffee table in the shop for now.

Nice to see these 5th Gens still getting the love, keep em coming
especially those on Nissan fact wheels. Maybe as you post them list out any spacers needed, fender rolls, etc.

Mine is still on the 17" Mille Miglia Evos though. Not my daily driver anymore (E60 535i) but I'm keeping her for sentimental reasons

That's a beautiful maxima. I always had a soft spot for those wheels!

Lowered on eibach springs, I had to roll the fenders in the rear. Rear wheels have +15 offset so It was just rub city haha

Thanks guys. I try to take good care of her. Still original paint and interior (other than the pedals ) She's my DD so the miles keep going up. Now that it's summertime, she'll probably get a little of a rest since it's finally roadster season

Thanks Donkeypunch and Shak! I really do feel it is a true testament to Nissan to make a quality vehicle like this one. Sure, there are a lot of haters out there with some of the known problems (ahem, ignition coils...), but it's one of the most reliable vehicles I've had. I take it to the beach, mountains, wherever.

There's certainly no shortage of 5th gens out there, but whenever I see one on the road and the paint is fading, body damage, etc. I always say to myself, "Man, some people just don't take care of their vehicles..."

But, I digress.

More pics of 5/5.5th gens please!
