Speaking of the rear window noise I think I am gonna do something about mine. I noticed that the noise problem is worse in the winter when temperatures are colder and a bit more quiet in the summertime. I think I'll use Housecor's solution.

I can send pics of this installed in my car if you are interested. You do have to change a few pins on the 3 rear plugs but it only takes about 15mins once you figure out how to get the pins to come loose from the plug.

Let me know if anyone is interested.

MetaOrbits I35 looks sweet with the lip kit installed. With a six speed conversion, an I35 would be perfect.
I think I'd prefer a 6mt max than an auto I 35 though.

Whatever, I geuss I'm one of the few. Oh, and about the gauges, yes they are to bright, but on the 3.0 I like how I can dim them down till they can barely be seen, the 3.5 oesn't dim down enough, never liked that.

So are you Maxima owners forgetting about the i35's insta-tint option for the rear window? Yeah i know, it's gay, but I like it.

So do the 5.5 gen maxima's come standard with vlsd? I know that all A33 I35's do.

Umm..there you'd be wrong.

I35s didn't come with VLSD. They didn't come with any kind of LSD.

Wow, I think you're right! I could have sworn I remembered seeing vlsd on the window sticker, but I just looked at it and it's not there. Every single heater I've left has been 2-wheel-peel, so I'm going to borrow a jack (Mine is holding the 3.0 motor up) and finally get around to rotating the tires, can't wait to have my heart broken when I spin one wheel and see if the other spins opposite.
