This is my max so far

Mods include clear indicators, BMW M5 spoiler, 30% tint, H&R lowering springs, 4.5" stainless exhaust tip. I have also installed a pretty good sound system as well. I used Alpine, Boston Acustics, Infinity, JL audio, and Soundstream equipment and them wired up with monster cables. And yes those are chrome mirrors with built in indicators. I have no choice about those they came on the car I did not add them.

this is the view from the rear. The Jeep in the back is my modded 5.9 liter with nitrous.

I hope to have 20s soon. I will post some pics of my sound in the Audio forum on Sunday when I get my camera back.
I know it looks like an infiniti but it has a VQ30DE not a 3.5. Too bad

If you get some nice chrome rims, I think those mirrors will actually look pretty slick. They remind me of the S4. Man, there's much more chrome on your Max than the american I35.

Is that rear parking assist I see in the bumper?

yeah that is rear parking assist. Except for the grill and door handles the extra chrome stuff was added on at the dealer. I can also add a chrome frame around the front lights but enough is enough. I am actually trying to get some pimp wheels (sorry for those who hate them). If not chrome I will be getting 20 inch dark silver (for lack of better description). They are 7 split seven spoke so not completely pimp.
Glad you like the pics

Badge says Maxima, and it looks different than our Maxima logo, so it doesn't look like it was added on by hand. I think they call it a Maxima there.

I think you should get some OEM body skirts to give it a more agressive look.
EX front( I am sure they have the front skirt overseas), side and rear skirt.

Also are the mirror power fold like the JDM ones.

Yeah they are called Maximas here. There is a factory skirt kit for it but i saw a couple really niec aero body kits which I will be looking into.
About the chrome, I haven't really added any it came that way. Other maximas here have less chrome whereas other again have much more.

the 30J is the bare bones bottom of the line. That is mine. It has cloth interior with grey trim. Not very special at all. The touring is the next level with alloys and few nicer things inside. THe GV is the top dog and has the exact same luxury stuff as the infiniti I35. I will try and get some pics up soon.

Here is a pic of the interior. Remember it is the base model so nothing really special. Is it similar to the US 5th gen max?

So basically not much is the same. The wood was added at the dealer because this is a base model but it is a 'limited' go figure. Anyway upon receiving shipment of the car the dealer added a few chrome things around the tailights, chrome mirrors with signals, clear indicators, wood around the shifter and vents, integrated drving lights (these are very slick indeed), rear parking sensors, and a little chrome sticker at the back that says limited.
The guages are in KM/H and go up to 260. The sunglasses holder is actually very big and holds loads of crap. I also have 2 cup holders behind the shifter and another just below the passenger side ac vent which retracts into the dashboard. Don't know if you have that either. Interesting though how the cars are the same but really different.

Very nice, exteriorwise they look virutually identical to the Infiniti I35 here in the U.S but interior wise is far different. I never seen a sunglasses holder atop on the dashboard. Ours is in the headliner between the sunvisors. The car looks good. I love the chrome mirror, it makes it look very European and Audi S4 essence like

HOLY MOLY, the I35 is called a maxima in Dubai? damn, for a second i thought I was redirected to a foreign wanna be maximas. But this is something cool. So do you guys have the body style of our maximas there at all? Or are they called sentras there? hehe

But thats a nice I35 man, or a maxima in your case. Keep up the good job and also I heard that ALL car parts are cheap in dubai. Can you get me a price on HIDS and some real bright fogs?

get some 18's or 19's and you'll have a very sweet looking Maxima.

I had a friend that went to college in Dubai. Funny stories about his time there.

These cars are quite cheap here. I don't know about parts though. This car brand new cost under $16000. We don't have the US style max yet, maybe in 2006. The new Altima has just been launched here last night with the VQ35 engine. All maximas here have the VQ30 engine even the 2004 which looks the same as mine with a differeent grill.
Thanks for al the props guys. Oh by the way I am going to be getting 20s not 19s or 18s

Dont like the chrome around the rear lights. Looks good otherwise. Rims are def needed. They are way to bland. Goodluck.

I am not the biggest chrome fan either, especially when it is stick on chrome diped plastic crap. Needless to say I never put it on there it came that way.

Those wheels that you call bland are actually hubcaps. Under the hubcaaps are black steelies and even better they are 15".
