true dual exhaust? I think the car looks sweet. Only thing I don't like is the sideskirts.

Thanx alot guys i didnt expect so many good comments.

i have the stock suspension because my bumpers are too low, so if i change springs/struts i will rub on every little bump, but i do want to get new struts for better handeling.

Lower would be better but thats easy for me to say since I dont have to drive it every day. The wheels seemed to finish the car off nicely. Over all its different looking which is very good.

wow on stock suspension that looks really good the wheel gap isnt as big as i expected with 40 series tires make up alot of gap. Thats interesting i just picked up a 2k2 and some 19's i dont want a crazy drop i may have to look into that.

good job again by the way.

see thats the wierd thing about these rims, when u look at them in person the middle looks black but on the pics you cant really tell. but the middle is really gunmetal.
As of now that gap doesnt bother me too much its alot smaller than i thought it would be. but maybe some coil overs in the far future.

Thanx

i was thinking about getting the 02/03 headlights because they would fit right in since my front bumper was originally made for an 02/03. but im not sure cus i like the way my headlights look w/the eyelids. But always a posibility in the future

Looking at the pics again the headlight gap doesn't look that bad as it did it the last pics you had taken. Rear bumper looks like it fit better then I have seen. Good job and way to set your maxima from others. Me and Who Cho have the offset twins. Maybe a set of AE headlights if you don't want to get the 2k2's yet.

yeah im glad u noticed, i had the front bumper lifted a bit,and the rear was a Bia#ch to allign cus of the crappy design. yeah i was thinking about the AE headlights,maybe the new Projectors would look good, w/ the black housing. but will that be too much?

Nice rims, but body kit is a bit too ricey. Front looks good, the side skirts are a bit too much.

nice choice on the rims. because your body kit is so aggressive i agree it definitely needed some aftermarket wheels for the exterior to look 'finished'. good job.
