My b pipe will have no resonator too, but make sure yours is Mandrel Bent. Most custom B pipes are not, they are crush bent... which is not as good.

No offense, but I think Merlot is kinda girly. I had a burgundy-ish 98 Altima and sometimes it looked purple. Also, it is very hard to get clean.

BTW- What is the point of this thread if you already bought the car?

Both are nice colors IMO. I had a black Max before and I worked like a wh@re to keep it clean. That is why I opted for Sheer Silver this time. I just switched to Zaino polishes too. Let me tell you, the Silver looks good when clean, but under Zaino, it looks wet. The paint looks like it has a sheet of water over it. I also have the Titanium edition wheels (for now) and they look great. The wheels I am getting, Moda R6s, also have that polished look, so I think they should look dyNOmite! on the car.

I love silver cars, but I'm not a big fan of silver Maximas. But silver is now the number one color for all cars in the U.S. I usually don't like white cars, but for some reason Maximas look great in glacier pearl to me. I also like majestic blue. Black always looks great but I am so sick of black on black cars after my second one--SO hard to keep clean.

The initial application takes time. I clay barred it, washed it twice, then did the polish. I also got their ZX7, which is their polish drying accelerator. I feel that Zaino is by far the easiest polish I ever used. Especially considering the end results. I HIGHLY recomend it.

I love these threads. The threads with a simple question that turns into a thread with us fighting about which color 5th gen is the best. BTW, on that note....
