my hands took a beating today...
Today was productive day... I shaved my trunk, it looks pretty sweet. Took me 5 min to get the letters off, but it took me like an hour or so to get all the sticky crap off. I used goo-off or w/e its called and a blow-dryer. I also painted my valve cover and used gutter-guard to make a new grill. I am getting up early tomorrow and washing and waxing my ride so I can take pics tomorrow, I will post them on my cardomain page if you guys are interested. and I had a question... how hard is it to take the door pillars out? And that chrome trim around the doors? Because I will be painting those black fairly soon. I hate chrome and i think it would look much better black. especially with what i have planned for my maxima.

im doing the same with the chrome trim as well. The guys at the bodyshop says the best thing to do is to shave the chrome trim down, and repaint.

i painted mine gray. i sprayed some primer on the gutter guard let it dry, then painted two layers of spray paint on it. it dried fast. i put two "layers" of gutter gaurd on my grill. overall it was pretty easy, the hardest part was putting it back... i hate those damn plastic screws. i ended up stepping on one accidentally and the other one broke... so i replaced them with some ss nuts and bolts. well anyway, i painted the front emblem black, im gonna see how it will look with the gray grill. im not sure if i will like it, but ill post the pics tomorrow guys and get some opinions.
