Anyone notice how the maxima headlights never cloud up? Look at the I30's, all cloudy....

are you talking crap about my beautiful i 30?


well unfortunately its the manager of a burger kings car or maybe i would have pulled out my screwdriver.....


jk

I actually prefer the maxima trunk with less plastic. other than that the i30 is more beautiful in every way.


speaking of cloudy how do i fix that?

theres a 96 maxima in the junkyard here.

The I30's headlights cloud up because they are plastic lens, just like the 97-99 Maximas were. 95-96 headlights were glass lens.

You can either spend a very long time doing some confusing stuff with sandpaper or you can spend $10 at Autozone and get a headlight lens cleaning kit. I used the Turtle Wax kit, which came with the sandpaper pads I needed. Takes like a half hour of...vigorous rubbing, but you get clear headlights.

Well, that is a newer, 4.5 gen I30 with the plastic headlights, just like the newer 4.5 gen Maxima. Old I30's and Maximas (95/96) got glass headlights which don't cloud up as easilly.

EDIT: Whoops nvm, didn't realize someone else just said the same thing.


My 97's were really bad. Really chipped too. I actually sanded with 200grit sandpaper and eventually moved my way up to 3000grit wet sanding and then plastic polish. They look brand new now.

Well I can park by this car anytime i go to burger kings so ive checked it out a lot.

Its obviously a top spec maxima. I dont know the year but obviously a 95 or 96.

It trips me out just how much more ghetto it is personally. It is older.. and the leather looks like plastic. I mean obviously interior on a standard car is not like the luxury version

Its weird the pictures make it look flattering but the paint on mine is way more alive

other than that.... well it is the same damn car so it does seem the same. I dont know how common this color is in maximas though i think his is rarer than mine to tell you the truth. Not a lot of gold maximas

Theres another maxima that was parked at BK, maybe they dont work there anymore, it was gold as well and had a dent in the side and failing tints, another one is also parked a block away by sizzler. Whats up with all the gold cars, mines gold as well. I still go to EHS so if you drive by and see the maxima on 20"s then thats me.

thats the same one

dent and failing tints

yep the picture i took makes it look good. Ya they do its the manager, parked in that same spot.

yasee this picture is art. It speaks to your soul. So I took pictures from angles where they looked the same. His car has a few big dents you can actually see one from picture one on his hood.

what trips me out in person is the difference in the paint but in the picture his looks fine.

His interior looks terrible lol I spared puttin it on the internet. I was actually going to figure out the differences cause there are a lot in the interior, lights and sheet metal.
