I know I need to Drop-it.... Full Tokico Illumina & Spring Kit is in Garage...

 

probably one of the nicest looking colors i've ever seen on a max or car in general. fits perfectly...great choice!

 

looks great, the rims are a lil small for my taste, but they go great on ur car!

 

Thanks bro.. It Honestly took me 6 months to get the color right to match the wheels....

Thanks i appreciate the comment.... mwest.

 

looks I like that color!

 

nice color choice but the hood scoop has to go. That is my opinion. I like the rims, what type are they? Good luck for your future projects for that car.

 

Drop it like it's hot.

 

oh man after that drop its gonna be insane, not that it already isnt....

 

I've never seen a max your color with DTMs. They look nice on there.

 

That color looks great on your Max. That drop will just accent it

 

I Know i really need to drop it........ it would dramatically change the car.
almost like a fat girl needing to go on a diet..... ya, that bad...

Thanks for the comments people... thats what ive been workin for.

 

yeah i havent either, now theres 2 in cincinnati b/c me and my friend did ours together and his is the same color also !

 

looks good man! nice taste in paint color!

 

color looks GREAT...take care of it, now drop it and get rid of the hood scoop, it looks weird.

 

looks very nice, its a different color. the only thing is do you like the chrome grill with the gold nissan emblem? id go black with chrome emblem.

 

Personally the Hood Scoop is Golden to me... it complete's the car imo..

that chrome grill & gold emblem are on purpose....
I have this thing against chrome for the moment. Im considering getting the entire grill in gold platting and then putting the gold "MAXIMA" badging on the back again.....

One thing that set the Paint to purple pearl when the real color-name is Blue pearl is the Fact that i laid down a purple dupont primer which changed the finished color...
rome06 : Im in St.Louis MO man.....

 

i'm not feeling the hood... IMO if u get CF hood it'll look better.

 

How much did that run you?

 

Paint cost.....
PPG blue pealcoat & PPG clear $750.00
Dupont ChromaBase200 clear $175.00
Primer and Fiberglass filler $250.00 approx.....

I did all the sanding and body work myself, which is why it took 2 yrs to complete... My cousin and I painted the entire car in 6 hours at the family sign company paint booth....

 

props for DIY

 

remember, just my opinions, the paint color is sick!! the hood scoop looks like it doesn't belong, the grill looks out of place with it being chrome and gold (you should get a color matched SE grill), and of course the drop....Other than that, JOB WELL DONE!

 

Very nice, lower it now like everyone says.

 

I know i konw i konw lol lol lol.......
If you notice i have posted 2 different threads recently tryin to get all the parts together....
IMO: Droppin it will help, But i need a crapper-car to scoot around in everyday. I cant stand the rough ridding. I use to drive a Mazda truck with 4pumps and 10 switches so that threw my back out and now i like stock rides but.................it will happen..........................very very soon.

Thanks ALL FOR THE COMPLIMENTS. MUCH APPRECIATED. MWest.,

 

is there any funtionality in the scoup (ram air) or just cosmetic

 

great work, but too flashy of a color IMO

Need some DAY shots.

If thats a gold emblem on the grille it NEEDS TO GO! Maybe its just the lighting

 

nice paint job.. its going to look hot when dropt

 

Definitely like the color looks real good, but im on the same boat not liking the hoodscoop. If I had the experience and money would have went with a raised hood instead to fit a 3.5vq with 350z lower and upper manifold with spacer. but thats only a deam of mine. Good work though.

 

You know, I was thinking the same thing. I have the same color car and have been thinking about a carbon fiber hood but didn't know if it would look right. Now you have me thinking more. Do you know of any that have one?

 

Hot color, but needs better quality pictures.

 

looks really good man like the rims aswell will like sick after drop keep up the good work

 

How come in the last picture, the paint on the bottom of your bumper seems messed up?

 

How ironic....cause im not digging the rims lol....just my 2 cents

Still a very nice looking car, color is beautiful....however as noted before, the scoop has gotta go IMHO....

 

Great color, ugly scoop

 

IMHO looks good, but not feeling the hood scoop.

 

looks like an wrx sti imitation....
i liek the color though

 

i know this is an old post, but damn, this is a hot ride. it's a better version of the first gen wrx 2.5 rs.

 

that is a hot color... can never go wrong with blue....

 

LoL.... i aint diggin ur plastic hub-caps either bro...lol..

Thanks all for the color compliments...

This is kinda funny though b/c when i first posted hood scoop pictures eveyone seemed to like it...... now people are changing their minds lol...

Its all good either way...... EVERYONE here and about 7 of you that posted in this thread i HONESTLY have to thank for everything, your troubleshooting help, ideas, opinions and support have kept me going this whole time...

,much apprecaited maxima.org. mwest.

 

Great color, need daytime pics, the evening shots arent doing any justice.

Hope you did good prep work, if so paint should last a loong time.

 

Nice color, definately stand out.
Whats the white stuff on the bottm front passenger side of your lip and bumper?
