Almost the owner of a chameleon maxima

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

I was out bid by $50 in the last four seconds. I was hoping the high bidder would end up not paying but no luck yet.At first glance it looked horrible but the more i looked at it it grew on me. It was mainly going to be for my girl to drive.

if you look very carefully at the trunk area, the trunk line(taillights) doesn't line up perfectly. and the paint job, ugh why would you even want that color?

Ok the rims are ugly and they wouldn't have come with the car anyway. The altezzas would have to go also.It was probably lowered with crap but i will never know. But with the shaved door handles and the custom paint shows that the car would have been in mint condition.

WOW never knew that, his maxima is rear wheel. Most of been a major mod on that one. That maxima looks kind of fishy to buy. He did all that mod and is selling it? What a waste.

The guy selling it on ebay was not the owner. He does consignments.

yea... RWD? my butt. that's a FWD car, he just listed it wrong. there's no way he put all the work into it to make it FR. the tint is cool, but 0%? can you even see out that at night? dangerous. i like the mirror tint tho, dunno why. weird paint job, it's cool that it changes color at different angles, but that works on a TVR Speed 12, not a max. bleck to the rims, but whatever that car sold for cheap w/all the stuff done to it. shaved door handles, that's tight, show ****. ah well.

You guys are all harsh.My girl actually liked the car also. It wouldn't have been her first chamelion car. She likes to be diffrent and stand out. It was well worth the price.I wouldn't have picked the color myself but still.
Maybe i should warn the buyer to not come to maxima.org and admitt to owning a chamelion maxima.LOL

Interior looks nasty, the carpets have grease and dirt everywhere, leather doen't look that good either. The body looks ok.... well it could be nice or a bondo nightmare, hard to tell from a picture. I think you lucked out getting overbid at the last minute. I love doing that to people last minute who think they have it.
