Luxury 5th Gen Maxima

Does anybody have any pics of a 5th gen maxima with luxury mods. Like Cefiro mods. I have seen plenty of 4th gen luxury mods, but i am leaning towards getting a 5th gen.

Are you referring to the Infiniti I35, maybe?? While I wouldnt call it luxury mods, it's physically identical to the Cefiro with a better motor and nicer interior. $.02

first of all, what is your definition of luxury?
if you want luxury buy a luxury car.

AE stuff isnt really luxury.

you can already get heated leather seats and auto climate control stock. what other "luxury" mods do i need?

Gee when I compare my 03 SE to my 91 SE the new one has quite a number of significant luxury upgrades:
Leather Interior
Dual Heated Power Seats, with memory
Heated Steering Wheel
Heated outside mirrors
Compus in mirror
Trip Computer
HID headlights
Tinted Glass

What sort of Luxury "Mods" would you be talking about??

I was thinking more along the lines of grille, hood ornament. That kind of stuff. I am driving my moms 96 I30t, I would make it look like a cefiro now if she would let me. But anyways, I want a maxima, not an i35, cause I cant afford it. So I was wondering if they had anything for the 5th gens. Kinda like this:

yes, there are billet grilles available for the max, though IMO they don't look all that good. Also, you can get the "eyelids" like the above car, as well as front lip. I don't know that the front lip, eyelids, and ventshades make that car look "luxury though"...looks like the owner is confused as to what exactly he's trying to do with the car....He's going for the stock/sporty/luxury/redneck look?

and hood ornament? I hope you're kidding....
please. be kidding. But seriously, I've never seen a max with a hood ornament that sticks up like that....

Maxima has always been marketed as "4SC", the "4-door sports car" so the look has been more slanted toward looking "sporty" than "classy" IMO. I'm sure you could get a I30 or maybe a 2k2 I35 for a reasonable price, then you have the muscle of the maxima with the luxury "look" of the Infinit....just a thought...

yea, I agree. The type of classy look your looking for won't be truly represented in a maxima, but rather a I30/I35. They have more subtle aero additions and other classy looking exterior modifications.

Exc for RR, Jag and MB I didnt think cars came with vertical hood ornaments. But that is a nice looking package. If you had a 2G I30 (Y2K - 2k1), those exact parts may be interchangeable with the Cefiro parts pictured.

Personally, I wouldnt want that look for my 5G.

The first Maximas 81-84's had hood ornaments and the 85 and 86 Max had one glued to its nose as well.
