That thing is not cool though, it's like the sunroof shade, pointless, ugly, and most likely problematic (ie: moss underneath and leaves permanent markings on your car).

I am surprised no one has commented on his molded in kit or door moldings (then again I havent read the whole thing someone may have). That is a very dangerous thing to do...one bump and its a good chance it will crack but it looks different (in a good sort of way). Not my style but nicely done.

Yeah everything looks good, after work I'll lift my engine out and install them while doing everything else (http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=541287). I am surprised that that the 6 bolts are enough to hold the plenum down without the support of the rear brackets, but if you and others have been driving for a while with these then I'm sure it will be fine.

Oh yeah, the six Grade 8 bolts are plenty enough to hold the UIM on. I just tell people not to jump on top of the intake manifold. lol Support brackets are the first thing I remove when working on customers' car. I hand them the brackets in a zip lock bag and say, "Your car will now be that much easier to work on in the future without these useless support brackets".

I wasnt worried about the weight of it. Without the brackets it can oscillate, similar to a diving board. As long as engine vibrations dont hit any of its fundamental frequencies it will be OK. Those are probably too high for the engine to resonate it, and given that you and others already put down many miles on these, I have no worries.

see what happened was I posted that comment in the Great Picture Thread but it was mod-removed since comments are not allowed in there. I talked to mod and they explained what my posts got deleted for, so I put it here instead. But i personally really like it, risky or not.

Edit: Here are a couple more pics that I dug up that I don't think anybody has seen much of.

So you only want pics of 3rd gens with beautiful scenery? I don't have any of those. All I have is pics of a dirty old white 3rd gen capable of 12s with an empty field in the background!
