paint looks good in pics, but the bumper needs repainting- front and rear, there are quite a few bad spots on the car that I tried to hide from the camera 
Its the original 112K mile paint. I'm getting it repainted soon I hope, I need all the dings and stuff taken out of it also. I am conteplating on getting some Stillen side skirts from South West Autoworks but I'm affraid its going to be a pain to life the car up with the skirts.

I don't remember the tint % but its one step below limo in the rear, and 2nd lightest tint in the front. My friend who owed me some $$$ got a guy to come out to my shop and do it while I was working last summer.
to black early 5th gens in the auto-x (looks familiar 
)

you run out of TIE RODS when you lower it more. You get what its called bump steer. I played around with it some and it does look cool but I won't be able to get out of most parking lots. When looking at a normal non lowered Maxima or any car Tie rods come out like this ---- when on my car they are more like this / (pointing up) - its not that extreme but I cant draw it out good. When the car hits a bump it pulls on the tie rod end and creates what is called bump steer. I don't want any of that, plus the axles are doing the same thing- pointing a bit up instead of being even or going down some like they do on a OE suspension.
