i've been lurking for quite a while now absorbing as much information from the 5th gen community about maximas ever since I bought my own in September of 2003. and i thank you all for putting up thousands of great educational posts for Maxima newbie's like myself.

short story of why i chose the maxima over the other japanese sedans. i was a previous owner of a '98 MBZ ML320, and on my trip up to canada w/ gf for vacation my gf totals my car in Eugene, OR of all places (tboned @ 35 mph) when it was her turn to drive (i've driven for a good 6 hours before).

We eventually make it up to Canada via Greyhound Bus (never again!! ) and since my car was in MBZ heaven, gf's uncle lets us borrow his 2003 Maxima SE Auto...and after driving that car around canada for a good 5 days i was sold.

so after everything was settled i used the insurance check and picked up a used 2001 20th Anniversary Edition 5 speed (all options) with 31,500 miles for 17k. the previous owner had already installed stillen goodies FTSB, RSB, Intake, eibach springs w/ tokico shocks. so i thought it was a good deal. 2k2+ Maxima's around Orange County were all cloth and autotragic.

It's been almost 3 months now and I'm totally in love with the Maxima, every time i drive it, it just brings a huge to my face...anyways here's are some pics of my 2nd GF

Well, Im in Temecula which is about an hour from you........never take pics on dirt.. it ruins your car's looks !
Read West coast forum, and hook up with us !

 

Always good to see another AE join the fam! Maybe we should start a thread to have all the AE folks post a pic.

 

yeah i know, but i was trying to get a shot of the sunset in the background...eh i guess i was too late.

i'll be sure and check out the west coast forum.

AE for life!

 

Sweet car man!

Damn!! i wish i could get that AE body kit for my car.

 

thanks. the stillen aero kit would probably be your best bet, but it has a more exaggerated front lip.

Yea, i've seen it...but it doesn't call my attention. I'm hard headed....if nothing else comes out i like i might just buy it and have the front lip extended a bit, we'll see. No rush, i have no money! hahaha

 

Sweet Max! Keep us posted on the future mods...

 

Your Max is the same as mine. I have Eibachs also, but mine seems lower than yours for some reason. When I get a good camera, I will post some pictures. Anyways, nice choice and looks great!!

 

your paint looks awesome...doesn't look like there are any chips...keep up the good work
