very sexy, love the CF on White max, the dual exhaust looks good.

Maybe painting the grill white would give a better look tothe front plus add a CF lip to her, would just about complete the look.

I like the fact that its not a car that attracts a lot of attention.. Its a clean car. Only thing I would say is wrong is the hood... It takes away from the beauty of your white car.

Thanks guys...

right now I have to swap out my O2 sensors since one of them is dead and triggering the knock sensor, and my motor mounts are bad so no new mods for a while.

To be perfectly honest I'm getting tired of modding my car, theres only so much to do. Next is going to be a Stillen lip, unpainted for the time being until I can paint the entire car. I do agree that my car does look pretty plain.. I dont know why... I guess I'm just tired of it. Hopefully by next February I'll be able to get a V2 and really have some fun. Maybe if I get lucky I'll do a 5 speed swap by this time next year too...

I like everything on your car except for the wheels, for some reason those wheels just dont seem to flow well with the Maxima.

IMO the lip wouldn't look right, I really like the look as it is. The clear LED looks so good on white.

I like everything but the dual exhaust.. Sorry but I feel that it doesn't belong in a 4th gen. Other than that, your car is off the hook...

For some reason the CF hood looks pretty bad on your car. Caesar also had a CF hood and it looked much better on his car, I think it's your wheels.

Thank You. Black flaps are coming off.. either I'm taking them off or they're going to fall off cuz I scrape them all over the place.

Thank You. Thats the way I plan to keep it, I dont want to do anything flashy... I love the subtlety of my car.

I've been told that before too I cant complain though, they're Enkei's... I got them for $200 with tires.

I'm going to leave the lip unpainted and just plain black, it'll look good with the hood.

or u can get a cf lip?

EDIT:

jus thought of some other things.

clear corner mod would look hot, the diamond cut ones
like said before, remove or paint the inside of your bumper so that they look black or somewhat invisible, it would look alot hotter. black bulge mesh for the bumper.

I agree. Maybe they just need to be bigger. They're in good shape for being a 10 yr old model - those came out back in the days when I thought Enkei was the hottest wheel company.

Hey! Sup man.. Yea the grill is definately going, I might be taking it off this weekend and giving it a nice black paint job. By the way I ran my codes again, it seems one of my 02's was completely dead... I'm changing them this weekend.

THanks.. nah no hood pins, I did a little something to assure the latch stays in place. The Symbol I bought from Angie at Redline max

Nah no carbon fiber lip... as it is my oil pan on my engine and transmission are all smashed up from hitting potholes... I'd bash that cf lip into a million pieces on the first day. I do plan on tinting my bumper lights and doing the AE headlight mod.

Yea they're pretty old, they were on my friends MR 2 which was pretty much a show car. But I cant complain. I would go bigger but the potholes here just dont allow.

Really? What did you do? IMO i really don't like the look of my hood pins. The only reason I put them on is because I don't care to buy a new windowshield anytime soon.lol

BTW The hood looks so clean. I wish mine looked like that.

Get the hood, grille and door handles painted when you get the bumper re-done.

I'd like to see Painted Splash Gaurds or none at all, No CF hood and no sticker on the Rear Window and maybe the addition of some Eyelids.

All in all though, the car is definately hot. Alos, do you got HID's in the Fogs or are they PIAA's or suttin?

I like the way your max looks but i think the wheels kind of dont match and the symbol on the trunk hood could go but everything else is nice.

Thanks everyone. Yea the grill is going to be painted soon, I might do it this weekend if the weather complies. And yea those are pics from the Douglaston and FLoyd Bennett Meet.

No I dont have HID's I have Sylvania Sylverstars in the headlights and some cheapo ricer bulbs in the fogs that came out to be alot nicer than I thought.

I do appreciate your guys honesty, I'm always looking for ways to improve the look of my car.

And no the sticker on the back window is going nowhere... its a little Puerto Rican flag

Yeah, that's what I thought it was, but I wasnt sure. I still don't like it though lol, but that's just MHO. I like a very clean, sleek look with no additional and/or outstanding eye candy (ie. Vinyls, graphics, stickers, etc.) I'd just get the 3" hand-sewn flags for the mirror, if you dont got one already. Thats what I had, but have since upgraded to Baby Jordans.
