cosmetic's???
 
ok I am looking to buy a couple of cosmetic peices but I am a little low on fund's. I need to prioritize what I buy or if I should even buy them at all i would like to buy the clear corners, stillen front lip, fog light bulbs, and a new upper and lower stilen gril or simular style. can yall put this in some sort of order my self i have no personal preferance. also can you guys maybe point me in the right directions for finding these parts cheap. i know there is a GD on the clears so i am fine there. also the grill's dont hae to be stillen i just want it to look like that. i think the diamond cut chicken wire doesnt look as good as the horizontal billet. Thanks for the help ahead of time

id say start of with doing your lights, try ebay.
Than for a gril i would go with JMS cus they dont seem to have a rust problem.
thats what i would start with

I have Grille Tech grills and there is not a spot of rust on them. I'm guessing it will be the same for you since your are in Cali. I would go clear corners and front lip first. Maybe try painting your stock grill body color. That looks really good to.

Man i have to say my fav thing on a max is the front lip get that first then.. fog light rewire and blue color fog bulbs. Then performance and lowering thats what i would do.

that merlot max is hot man, ive always love that color.

When i first got my max, I went straight for the clear corners with red and amber bulbs, because i like that look when the sun is setting... its just hot...

Next was the 35% llumar tint, majestic blue and dark tink just looks nice. Check out maximapolaks cardoman site. He even has black SE rims

I then went for the rear window spoiler from paradox systems because it looks really clean on the max. I also used polargs on my parking lights, piaa for reverse lights (the blue tint on the reverse lights are SICK!, piaa super plasma bulbs for fogs.

I still have to rewire my fog lights.

Later I went for the maxima.org license plate cover (5 bucks... you cant go wrong) and then i bought the Grilltech diamond upper and lower grills.

One of the biggest regret i had was not getting the 3m protecant film for the front of my car, i got some chips and scratches in the front... i cant really do anything about it, but it just really hurts to see them.... i would have spent 300 bucks on the film the day i got the car if i knew.

hope this helps.

I'm in the process of putting on the DDE's right now. I've got one headlight completely finished and reinstalled. I also cleared the turn signal while it was open. I also changed the fog light bulb to PIAA Super Plasma and installed the clear fronts while I had the plastic shield off under the car. I can say that the DDE's are more of a PITA than I'd anticipated, but I think the finished product will convince me that it was worth the hassle. Also, I wasn't sure that the Super Plasmas would match the stock HIDs, and I can say that they match perfectly. I've recently done the chrome guage rings on the instrument cluster, and that's a really cool and fairly simply upgrade.

If I could afford it right now, I'd prob be doing the stillen classic front lip, b/c man that thing is hot! Unfortunately I'm about to dump an a$$load of money into the stereo system. :nod:
