I thought I'd start a thread to show what I did to my Max today and would like to hear some feedback about it. Maybe some of you would like to post some of the things you've done recently. It's nothing huge but I think it looks right. I prepped, primed and painted my oem grille all black!!

vanilla creamy hitler Max. props to you sir

 

Looks Good Man....

 

i like it looks good with those lights

 

Thats kool. Nice prep work.

 

I think it would've looked better to just paint the center bar of the grille.

 

I actually thought of doing just the center but decided to go all black. I was in the local pick n pull contemplating on buying a painted SE grille that matched my body color when I decided to paint my grille. I figured if I don't like it then I'll go back and grab the SE grille. I really need to do a retro fit to my Euro lenses. By the way...the entire front end of your 4G looks magnificent!!

I appreciate all the compliments guys...I'm hoping some of you will share your small accomplishments in this thread. My bytch has come a long way since her purchase about 4 years ago and I get more compliments now then back then. The average person is surprised about her age, how clean she is and how nice looking the Maxima was back then. I remember back in the early 90's, an older guy in my neighborhood bought a brand new 91' GXE and we all swarmed his Max to check it out as he pulled up to our local hangout. Every time I look at my Max she brings back good memories of growing up and hanging out with all my HS buddies...those were the days!!

 

You could've tried Plastidip and seen which one you liked better.

I appreciate your comment A retro in your headlights would look really nice.

 

Looks good, nice work!

 

I washed my car the other day and decided to throw on the VE grille I have just for the hell of it. To my surprise it added 30 more HP

 

I like it.

 

haha if throw on the ve cluster your car will be able to do 145+ ya know ;-)

nice work shiloh looks good.

 

I really appreciate the compliment but what does the vanilla creamy hitler mean?

 

I think he's referring to the fact that the blacked-out grille looks like a Hitler moustache...

 

wow I wanted to ask too but my flame suit was in the dryer couldnt possibly fathom why I saw the name hitler.

 

It looks good. I like the black tons better than chrome. I really don't like chrome at all. I need to find the time to paint the chrome trim on my BMW. It seems like a really tedious job, though. There is a mile of chrome trim around the windows.

 

Mine was like that for years...remember?

 

I hate cleaning chrome. What a pita.

Some pics of my new wheels that have been waiting to get mounted/balanced and finally installed. The rears just clear the suspension because I had to go with the 8" wide rims. The rims are 16x8 w/Toyo Proxes P225/45R16 and she hugs the road beautifully.

 

The grille definitely flows better now. Looks good!

 

Shiloh...Looks good man, However

you use photobucket and have some good sized quality pictures, you should use the direct image link so they post in here that size.



Did you ever get that pearl white SE grill? rare to come across if you ask me lol

 

No, I prepped, primed and painted/clear coated the factory grille. In my opinion it looks dope!! If you want the grille I believe it's still at my local pick n pull...I can go get it for you.
