Finally got some pics!

Here are some pics you all will find pretty interesting looking. This is what the newly painted grill and cornering lamps are like on the car.







What do you guys think? As always, I value your guy's feedback. In fact, if you like to see more included my suspension upgrades, stereo project, etc, go to my cardomain page. http://www.cardomain.com/id/86maximase

I'd say that looks really good! When do you plan to do the bumper trim? Are you going to do the front airdam and the side window trim too?

Thanks! As for the color scheme, I plan to go with a 88 shiro edition look, but in dark red metallic. I plan on painting the airdam, both bumpers, trim around the rear lights, the door handles, and touch up here and there.

Ty_Nitty, all together, I believe there are 4 hoses, the 2 main radiator hoses, and the 2 hoses that run coolant to the heater core inside the passenger cabin.

Either way the work I've put in is starting to pay off. I have a few setbacks, especially with the suspension, but I think they have been worked out.

I ve got to hand it to you Sarin. That bish is tight!! I like that. More aggressive look. Also makes the car look more modern. You're really pulling things together with the ride. Me Ive stopped. Just trying to keep things up. There is a Shiro Edition maxima on the next street up from me. They kept it in pretty nice condition. I remember when I was in Georgia there was this one 87-88 max around the corner. The car looked like the guy just pulled it off the lot brand new. It was a dark blue color. Everything to factory specs. Never got to take a pic of it though.

Werd Thanks Q! Guess what, my bumper is gonna be coming in soon. I ordered the paint for it, so that'll be coming. All I need to do is paint the trim, drill holes for the air dam, and pretty much pull the old one, realign the body a little (it still a little tweaked, if you look at my passenger headlamp, its tweak up a little towards the center, gonna try to fix that). Put the new one on and call it good for that part!

Nice! Can't wait to see what those look like on there. I'm saving for 17's too, there's a place up here that'll do a set (can't remember the brand) with tires for $1000 cad brand new.
