Your car looks really good, whod did your installation? I remember when you were having trouble getting someone reasonable, and did you put it on your stock struts? I didn't get in contact with you in time cuz I know you live in the Orlando area and I talked to my brother and he said that he used to do them all the time and since you live right in orlando I would have see if we could set something up, but in any case you should be proud, the car looks damn damn good

hey nice drop....reminds me of my car, being a little lower in the front....that looks sweet how do they handle? i wanted sprint originally but when i had money sprint had discontinued the maxima springs, looks like they have started manufacturing them again.

the handling is very nice, its funny cause with the FSTB there is like no body roll, so when i take a turn fast since i have stock tires it will squeel a bit haha
if i had some nice rubber it woudl be a different story, im very pleased though.

Nice Job

Yo man....did a beautiful job on your car, I love how well that thing looks when it drops. Something I definetely need too do. I was wondering...saw you two mention something about an Orlando Meet. I'm in Clearwater/Tampa area and was wondering if you wouldn't mind a Tampa Max show up there and just see whats going on. Haven't done anything with my maxima yet but I'm working on getting the stuff I want. Tell me when and where, and I'll try to get there. Car looks great man...just perfect.

your car looks really good. I have sprint springs ready to install. I plan on getting tokico struts. does your grille look good close up? I've been thinking I either want to modify my grille and make it similar to yours or buy a 92-94 grille. Does the gutterguard go in front of the cut off middle peice or behind it?

Tail Light Black Out

Once I can find a damn pair of SE tails (or should I say for a resonable price...) I would like to black out mine. Can you post the instructions and the materials you used? The car looks sweet man!

there really is no materials needed, just buy the black out spray, you can get it from summit racing , and then its just a matter of spraying the desired darkness onto it, you take long strokes from far away and just keep adding coats to your own taste, it will fade over time like mine did, but u can just do it over.....one more thing make sure you spray it as evenly as posissible ,do it in the sun, because if one spot it darker then the others it will show in certain light. but you will love it when you first do it, i can almost promise.

Thanks for the info. Do you think that regualr acrylic based spray paint will work. And then what about a clear coat on top to stop the fade?
