Hey guys, Just thought you might like to see these, as I've pretty much completed my mods and done the full front end blackout treatment, cleared the amber turn lens also. Lot's more pics on my domain!








Sorry guys, should have given it a better wash first.

 

Very clean and tasteful. Nice job!

 

Good job. Looks very clean. Exactly what I would do if I had black.

 

Looks great!! I'm in the middle of doing the same headlight mod. Just got my angle eyes today so should be doing the mod this weekend.

 

Great looking Maxima! That front fascia looks a lot like my 2001 20th Anniversary Edition fascia.

 

very sexy, black all around, nice 5.5th gen

 

Your maxima looks great!..very clean looking and all the black looks nice

 

everything looks just awesome.my front end will soon be completly blacked out as well. nice ride

 

Looks Awesome man!

 

Wow, very nicely done. Very clean

 

did u paint the grill yourself?

 

Looks nice and clean. Doesn't need anything else.
I'm about to do the same, just have to paint my lips and grill.
Did you paint the whole grill black or just the outside of it where it was grey?

 

Looks perfect. Unfortunately, I think I'm gonna have to copy that. Sorry man, just looks too damn good.

 

What kind of paint did you use i.e. brand and color? Is it flat black? My car is majestic blue and I think I'm going to do this mod. Looks damn nice.

 

Damn thats sick. Very nice! Im a newbie. Can someone point me to the writeup on clearing out our headlights?

 

BTW are those 350z wheels?

 

i like..............

 

very nice

 

Only thing left is to black out the sidemarkers...make 'em disappear!

 

Nah, I had it painted at the body shop when the skirt kit was done.


Thanks, painted the whole grill


No probs that's the best form of flattery, good luck.


Thanks, I used a gloss black enamel generic brand for the headlights from the local hardware store.

Thanks, http://www.innerbean.com/housecor/clear_HIDs.html

Here's another great write up:

The note to add to Housecor's is there are three tiny phillips head screws that need to be removed before separating the clear plastic headlight cover from the housing, one is under the plastic ballast holder ( need to remove the ballast 3 screws and the holder another 3 screws) and the other two are on either side of the fender mounting pin.


No, They are Alessio F1's as my sig says


Thought about it, but I'm happy with it as is, same as the suggestion of blacking out the window trim.... not my thing I have chrome burger logo on the front, left the chrome trim in the headlights, chrome window trim, chrome emblems on the back and polished exhaust tips, bright wheels, clear sides it all carries nicely IMO, but thanks

 

Totally understandable. That the best thing about cars...you can do whatever YOU want! I think your car looks awesome, smooth, dark and evil...the way cars should look

 

Yesss, I love it!!!! There's somthing different in your max, from all the others. Not sure what, but I think it's the black out look, and it sure looks tight!!!

 

Thanks, I remember looking at your domain, you did a helluva job on restoring that sucka. It looks really clean, Paint matching the grill is a must IMO, are those 19" evo's ?

PS Is your sig from the British TV show Top Gear? That's the best! Jeremy is hilarious

 

i just picked up my 5.5 6spd on sat at about noon. my headlights were in the oven 5 hours after i picked it up....car is looking real good

 

5 HOURS?????? Hey congrats, I came from a 4th gen to mine you're gonna love it! Funny white is the total opposite to black but it was my second choice, happy modding, did you sell or trade your 97?

 

Did you black out the rear lights as well? Or did you put a 5th gen lights instead of 5.5 gen?

 

No they are 2001 Anni Tails

 

it looks really good man, nothing more nothing less

 

looks good, but if you truly want a blackout look, you need to smoke the side markers and get rid of the clears.......

 

INSPIRING good job man lookin sweet

 

thanks for the comment bro. Those are 18" Evos I have.
yeah my sig is from top gear British TV show. Just love that show!!!

 

good job 2 thumps up

 

gr8 job very clean i'm doing the same mod next week

 

very nice max....the contrast is sick with the hamburger on the black grill IMO

 

very sweet max.

 

She looks gorgious~

 

i would like to get the black headlights , taillights , and side markers but i'm a newbie at this and i've looked on ebay ! i'm so lost !!! any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated !!!

 

For your year to black out the headlights you'll need to crack them open ( oven method). Same procedure pretty much as the 02/03's. Here's a write up specific to your model year:

Tails lights on my car are from an 2001 Anniversary edition, and for side markers: EBAY, lots of clears if you want smoked they are around but more $$$ or there is a film method or spray.
