it took me about 45 minutes...it should have taken me about 20-25 at the most...but because i was learning and it was extremely cold out today it took me longer than expected...tomorrow i should b able to bang out the other 3 in about an hr or 1.5 hrs

If your thinking of removal, it dosn't look very good on a white car.

IMO only looks goo on a black maxima..... yea Im trying to be funny.

I did it on my white Max because it had a big scratch in it.... It looked horrible and I noticed how much the max can look like a crown vic police cruiser. haha.

I ordered two sets of vinals and stuck them back on..... looks better now...

Red might look decent, Like a sentra, ( I always connect red nissan 4 doors to sentra's. haha)

It all depends on one thing (in my book)...
Are you running with tint all around. That strip of color in between 2 large tinted windows can look rather silly.

^^^ +1....But, if you have a neutral tint, (looks silver) then it would look good.

yea i was planning on gettin some 28 or 20% tints in the near future. the white border around the window would look bad. better to have just a seamless black area.

im really torn between 20 and 28.......

Regardless of color, black pillars FTW with medium to dark tint.
