Veryh nice maxima. Clean. I like how those HIDs go nice with the white exterior.

Just get an aftermarket grill like the one on KPazzo6's max, then it would be FLY!

I didnt think about the whole hid theft issue, so I dont blame you for not going W/ the 2k2s.

Notice how your rear rim sits in the wheel well a couple inches and isnt flush with the rear fender? wheel spacers will push it out so the rim and fender is flush.

but I do like your car.

Looks good I say. Maybe paint your stock grills white like I did?
I like the look...

And like someone else said, toss on some tint!

CF hood is hard to pull off on a white car, but you've got everything else to make it work, so get a CF hood and some tint, and it'll look tight...

Don't paint your grille white. It looks better black.

Honest opinions? Here goes........

1. Tint.
2. Scrape the paint off the inside of your headlights.
3. Silverstar H4s.
4. Side markers- clear.

Heh, leave the HIDs.. I think the above poster though you had blue coated rice halogens. I really do think wheel spacers would be a good idea, the back wheels look really far in. The stillen kit would be very nice as well. A black mesh grill would go well with the look IMO, and as others have already said, tints. There isn't a whole lot else really... A cf hood I think would look good, but some people don't like them, so do whatever you like. I'd say leave the 5000k fog lights, they're probably a lot more functional as opposed to 8000k.

Naw, I really don't like the AE headlight look- it looks much better cleared out (stock).

Hmmmmm. No wonder they are so blue. That's what I was getting at with the Silverstars. Damn, those are REALLY blue....... Maybe it's just the pics...

I'd say rear wheel spacers are a must. I love the side markers. They look hot with the black/white look you have going. Tint would be nice, oh and the stillen aero kit is a must!

I like the AE lights, but the black paint you used for them is way too contrasting to your white paint. I think a more smoked color would look better. The same goes for your sidemarkers as well- while I think they would look badass on a black Maxima, it contrasts too much with the white. And the wheels... same thing about the contrast.

Maybe it's because the body looks too stock for all the contrasting details you have on your car. An aggressive kit would go well with all the dark accents on your car.

I think that your car looks really nice. Those black wheels are cool & thus no need to paint the grill white.

You know what to do next ... what ever YOU think is cool. You've made good choices so far man.
