I was bored today so...

I went to town on my car and cleaned her up. Washed with Z7, four coats of Z5 with a spritz of Z6 after each one. Topped the car with Turtle Wax Platinum and shined the tires with Armor All. After all this, I learned that TW contains cleaners and basically undid my Zaino work...doh! Oh well, I know not to do that again. Anyhow, I went out and took some pics. They're a bit on the big side; don't say I didn't warn you.

I'm a business student so the car is by PBB a lot. I leave in May though for IL as I'm graduating after finals. I've noticed there are more modded Maximas running around here.

Take the car to Dent Wizard or whatever they're called in your parts, THT, and get the door ding on the left rear door removed. I believe I saw one and it should be able to be removed if the paint isn't broken.

The car looks good and I like the color! My DJ2 is close to yours and looks great when cleaned up on a sunny day.

I'm only taking 13 hours this semester in four class and only two of them have finals. I'm used to 18 hours so this is a cakewalk for me. I find time to mess with my car just about every other day. Thanks for the compliments guys.

20% black tint. It looks a littl funky because of my tan interior.

I like it! Nice rims, too. I think you should paint your door handles, would finish the look nicely.

paint your calipers. the rust is peaking out to much with your open spoke pattern. easy cheap mod that should make the car look 10x better.

id go with black caliper paint, unless you could get a green to match.
