I love them seats, too bad the inside of your car wasnt all black
Love the 2 tone
Good work
I have done my cruise control buttons and what not as well.
wasnt the cruise control a B i tch?? I had a hell of a time with it
lol, damn fuses!

 

Haha, thanks.

Yeah, the Cruise Control button was pretty tough. I ran into plenty of problems while doing all of the LEDs.

 

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!


I Like it alot, and your bro's IS300

 

yeah, it looks really good! keep it up!

 

wheel looks good. With a good drop look just about as good as the ever so popular discontiued EVO S (what ever the name was)

 

Wheels look hott... How much were they including tires?

 

Yeah, I had Evo5s for awhile, but they were pretty bent and had some curb check on them so when I found the VRs, I immediately fell in love. They look a lot like the Evo5s and I actually like them more.

I got the set (Wheels and Tires) for about $1500. They came balanced and ready to put on.

 

needs less wheel gap

 

car looks good, but in not feeling to grill in the fog spot.

 

i love the car... just wondering on how u kept the mesh grille in the bottom and in the fog light area... looks hott man

 

looks nice bro, nice eyelids

 

wheels look great!

its a shame though the evo5's were discontinued in lieu of this new model, theres too much happening on the spokes of these new ones

definately looks sick on your drop though, man!

 

Looks good man. I would've gone with the EV-S, but these are ok too.

 

nice seats man!

 

Looks good.

 

Wheels look nice. A bit too much mesh up front for me however. Nice ride overall

 

I like the overall look except for what appears to be some 2 tone mesh in the front...

 

Hey I was wondering how you did that mesh grill on the upper valence so you cant even see where the nissan logo was? Ive been asking around to get some ideas.

 

Nice look over all, love the wheels. Like the other guy said, a bit overkill on the mesh. You should have left the fog lamps in. However, the mesh on the grill and valance is making me miss mine. How did you do your mesh grill?

 

Sweet whip.

 

Howd u do the eyelids???

 

how much did it cost for your seats to be done its the last peice i need for my two tone interior!!

 

your whole family owns evo-5?

 

Thanks for the comments everyone!

The grill was a bit of a pain. The reason there is no black plastic behind the mesh is because I cut it all out and sanded it smooth prior to putting the mesh in. The fog spots were originally covered but I cut them out to put the mesh in them. After getting the front bumper re-painted, I attached the mesh using some sticky zip-tie things. They are basically just a little piece of plastic with a loop on one side and sticky stuff on the other side. For the fog holes, I had to use good ol' hot glue and silicon. I'm not a huge fan of my grill right now, so eventually I'm going to get a 97-99 bumper with all the holes and just do a grill in the top, leaving all of the holes in the bumper. I think those look the best.

The eyelids were simple and cheap, other than the fact that I had to sand the upper **** down, which didn't go well since the headlights are glass. After sanding, I just got a little sheet of black vinyl and stretched it over the headlight using a heat-gun and water. Then I used a flexible metal ruler to cut the line straight.

The Evo5s were passed down through my family. My oldest brother first had them on his Legend, then he sold them to my other brother for his IS300, who then sold them to me a few months later to put on my Maxima.

As for the seats, they were only about $600, but that is because my brother owns an accessories business and has an account with Katzkin. I installed all of the leather myself, so no labor cost was included. If you were to have them put in by someone else, the final cost would be $1000+ just because it is a slow and tedious process.

I would lower it more, but the ride is bad enough as it is. There are also plenty of other problems that seem to come from a lower drop: rubbing, camber, etc.

 

Looks good. Let's go race sometime. lol. I vote you get some foglights like this instead of using the mesh...


PS -- Yeah, I'm his bro -- and the Evo5s were MINE first! hahaha

 

yeah i like the mesh flat like that, my mesh isn't the same but i want mine to look clean like yours. Mine does this sort of "Bubble" out look. where did you buy that mesh?

 

nice maxima.i like it. but whats up with those eyelids? did you make em?are they still on? nice interior

 

very tasteful interior. Good Job

 

Looks sick man... I like it.

 

nice car not too shabby

 

The bubble look is accomplished by keeping the stock plastic grill insert and putting the mesh over it. You will achieve the flat look if you cut out the plastic insert and form your mesh within the grill shell and fasten it using zip ties. I did this before getting the 97 grill on my 95 SE. It looked really nice but I got tired of it after having it for a year.

 

Yeah, the mesh does get old but until I can afford a 97-99 bumper this is what I'm doing.
Where do you get other mesh designs? The gutterguard look is wearing on me too.
