so i finally posted ~ pics included!!
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

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!!
