you need to realize that every look you get isnt necessarily a positive thing...they may look at yours first because yes it does get attention, but they will look at mine longer

and mine isnt even modded for looks...its exterior is modded to be subtle and NOT get attention...ill let you keep your car that does its job sitting still...mine does its job when its moving

BS .

What do they look at longer?... A plain simple Max! Ahh come on!!

and mine isnt even modded for looks...its exterior is modded to be subtle and NOT get attention...ill let you keep your car that does its job sitting still...mine does its job when its moving

Does the same job as mine! (for now)

But wait till next winter (my Max doesn't like winters, it hybernates

) and we'll see which one does BOTH jobs (still & moving).

here Sooner... while you wait!!

most of my mods arent visible from the outside...people will look...and if they dont, like i said, it wasnt modded to look good siting still

teins are for looks (lower drop) and are terrible for normal driving...look at the experienced and knowledgeable suspension people on here...they dont have teins...and springs/struts arent my only suspensions mods...and i have illuminas now

and driving experience/ability are more important

wow.. we agree on something

I would also add... how much "*****" also!!

It all depends on which settings I put on the suspension. I love my Tein's because I can "play" with them!

But Sooner... we're going off topic here!!

Sooner.. go check my profile, and see what I do for a living!

aprox. 1,000,000 miles driven up to now in USA (been in all 48) & Canada (all our provinces).

Oh BTW... I don't drive with my cap looking backwards !!

Cars are like "little" toys for me!

I was at that age living in Spain... and my ride was a Renault 5 Turbo til I was 20, then changed it for a Lancia Delta HF Integrale 16v.... ahhhh the good old days!!

Here some pics:

1.4 litre engine, Turbo... 200 km/h (140 mi/h aprox.) and 0-60 in 8 secs.

2.0 litre engine 16v Turbo, 4wd, 200hp, 220km/h (160mi/h), 0-60 in 5.7 secs.
This amazing car won 6 straight Rallye Championships back then... wow!!

Ahhhhhh wish I was in my 20's again!!

a maxima is an adult car...most of us (most younger than 40) are smart enough to mod it without changing that....

You will have a hard time finding a mountain around our (Sooner & I) parts. The closet thing to a mountain around is the city landfill off of I-240.......
