New Pictures: Fresh coat of Wax!

I waxed my car tonight and I'm amazed on how good it came out. The pictures are a little blurry cause my camera is retarded, but you get the idea. BTW, I used Meguiars gold class...

Very nice, my cars needs a lot of detailing done, paint is in bad condition. I think your car would look a lot better if you took the pinstripping off.

pinstrips

I agree with vsidesupratt1 on this one, those pinstrips gotta go, it'll look a lot better without then, but still, awesome paintjob man all you need to do is get rid of that wheelgap with some springs

you can usually hit it with a heat gun, so that it gets hot enough to be tacky. then, it should just peel right off. make sure to wax where it once was.

careful you dont get it too hot, of course.

Very nice. What did it cost you to chrome the wheels? They look like my 98 SE wheels with chrome.

WillMax95: your car looks great. For some reason that blue looks very different than other blue maximas. The wheels match the car, and give it a nice luxurious look. Now lets see some more mods

[QUOTE=WillMax95] BTW, I used Meguiars gold class... [/QUOTE=WillMax95]

I used to use Gold Class, and used to think it was the greatest. Follow my footsteps and move on to Meguiars NXT Tech Wax. It's $15 a bottle, but it smells fruity, goes on easy, removes easy, and shines extremely well. Trust me and grab yourself a bottle.

i think you should get a set of gen2 altezzas and paint the chrome part "metallic blue" to match your car's paint.
I would recommend you get red/clears but there's no need to pay around $300 on a set of taillights. So forget about getting red/clears.
