Mods I installed over the winter...pics

With all the snow in the North East this winter I had plenty of time to mess around with my Maxima. I installed a full stereo: Kenwood headunit, Audiobahn 6.5s and a Audiobahn 12. Also, I cleared the headlights and painted the amber section of the tails red. Over all I'm happy with the new look/sound of the car. I wish I could be posting pics of my new Maxx Tuning lip but...as most of you know 7 months later it still hasn't been shipped out. I'll update pics soon...these crappy ones will have to do for now. I'm open for suggestions on mods for the summer...

Hamy, when you first started posting here you said that you were going to be working on something really big.. something that no one has seen before. What was it?

Car looks great esp. w/the cleared out headlights
What brand spray paint did you use for the tails? Is it noticeable the difference betw. the red on the top part & the orange + red on the bottom or does it look seamless?

(still can't get over how awesome those SSR's look on your grey lustre )

Well at that time I was slammed about 3" on 20" Enkie LM1s...I dont think anyone has seen that yet, but that setup didn't work for daily driving...I had big plans for my car but I got a G35C and put the Max on the back burner.

Oh and Jonx...whats the difference between our wheels they look the same to me?

Besides the fact that you are pimpin' with the real stuff I thought I remember that the SSR GT3s were 2piece. Or am I wrong and thats an option?

The GT3s come in 2 and 3 piece. The ones I have are 2pc, I had them powder coated grey lustre. I think the difference between the 2 and 3 is the lip size and some have little holes in the face and some dont. Who knows...
