Bought the '97 Max! PICS inside!

Well, got home today with the 97 Maxima.

The Brake fluid worked wonders on the headlamps "foggy" look. Thanks for that tip. You can see the headlamp results and the car on the cardomain website I created for her Max.

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2042380

The car is practically spotless. Only other cosmetic fixes are the wiper arms. The black is a tad worn off. And the piece in the rear door windows that separates the fixed glass from the rear roll down glass is slightly faded.

The tires are practically brand new. Michelins. They are a tad noisy, but we will utilize them till they are worn out. But what all seasons do you guys recommend for the 97 SE? I love my Falkens on my 02, and my '95 had excellent Dunlop Sports.

Thanks again

Thanks, but the Altezzas were already on it. The car is not mine, bought it for my niece. She loves the tails. Have the originals too. When she does have a chance to see the '97 originals cleared to just clear and red, and if she wants to go that route we will. But it's her car and her choice. So far she's Lovin' it!

I see car was already modded... but definatly show her the red/clears... they are so much nicer then any other type of tail you could get IMO. Are there any other mods already on this? Intake, y-pipe?

Altezzas look very different in person on the car than in pix. I've seen two with Altezzas in my area recently and they surprisingly don't look too terrible. They make the rear end look a bit bigger and aggressive. Not my choice as I've gone red/clear, but they aren't as bad as on many of the ricers flying around. Nice car!

We'll treat her well. BTW I have owned 5 Nissans. Three of them can be seen here: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/212850

Oh and btw, no y-pipe or intake on the '97. Just the few cosmetic mods.
