Thank NYCe! I love my rims, probably my favorite part of the car. I still drool when I see them all polished up. But when she's dirty!

Yep, running nitrous now, and she performs flawlessly. The beast has 162,000 miles...and going stronger than ever! I must have one of the highest-mileaged maxima's around, especially running the jungle juice.


Mad Dhan-yeah, you're looking at it correctly. I had the trunk refabed with the carpet that surrounded the box, so it all matches perfectly. I'm not sure where you are, but I had it done at a shop outside of Toronto. High quality work, and not timely at all. You can probably pick up some of what I got at your local stereo shop, if not, let me know and I could probably get you some.

hmmm, i take it isnt gutter guard mesh? because i used that and the holes looked alot bigger than the ones in your mesh. yours reminds me of the mesh they put on window screens. did you just put it over the grille?

It is infact the gutter guard mesh from the depot, for like 3 bones a sheet. Maybe there are different diameter holes sizes for different stores? I'm not sure, but that's what I used man. I fixed it on with micro wire, so you can't see where it is attached. It looks like it was meant to be there.

Looks very good... is that the stillen front lip? have you ever thought of getting the rest of the body kit? i think that it would complete your car. but otherwise, still looks awsome... good job.

Thanx Blkmax, yeah, that's the stillen lip. I thought about the rest of the kit, and I will definitely put some side skirts on it...just haven't seen anything that is really impressive yet. Infact, there really aren't that many good body kits out there in general. I think I need to start designing my own...I agree with you man, I think it would look good too with the rest. Hey! How about you man, you have a 95 like me, what's your story?! Where's the rest of the damn kit?! haha

I have to admit it.. when I first got my car and came on this board I saw a video from a toronto meet and your car was there.. you were the reason I went with duals... and probably started going nuts with my car.

I'd love to see a bunch more pictures of your trunk if you don't mind, from straight on and such, just to get a feel of what it actually looks like in person..

hot damn.. i usually frown upon the stillen lip only look, but for some reason your car pulls it off, nice work on the car.

Hey Grant! Long time!

Your car is looking great as ever. In one of the pics tho, your rear end looks higher than the rest of the car? Isn't it lowered? Or maybe is just the picture.

I lovey our trunk too..it has hte sound and its still practical enough to put the groceries in!

Looking forward to meeting ya and the car again at the next meet!

Thanks Jason, I appreciate the comments, and I will get more pictures up as soon as I can, especially of the trunk setup. I have some more to post in the next couple of days...will let you know. Your ride is looking great...as usual. I remember all the catz in the old days asking about duals and such, now look at all the excitement, it's crazy.

Thanks ghost face! The trunk set up is really good now because it takes up almost no room in my trunk, while before the previous box took up a good amount of space back there.
