emblems from a 1986 maxima

I'm just playing around with the idea.



I need to heat it up to curve it a little to make it sit flat.

Anyways just playing around with the idea. The other maxima emblem will be going on the lower lip section, the vinyl is coming off, because I have a stillen lip coming (sorry Irish). I am also going to add a wind splitter to the underneath of the new stillen lip, basically like the one deus has.

So here is a fun shot.

The car is going in for paint in Feb. its being painted black (matte).

I also have a Datsun 810 logo in the engine bay.

 

I'm ordering a carbon fiber trunk and it will maybe go on there, who knows it was FREE and I think the old school logos are much cooler then the new maxima logos.

 

Personally, the less emblems the better for me, but if you like it, do what makes you happy.

Speaking of older Maxima's, my parents bought an '85 Maxima when they first came out. Really opened my eyes how good Japanese cars had become.

 

dont paint your car !

 

This thread was to show I found these, I don't think I'll really stick them on the car. I thought it was cool with I saw it.

 

Why not?

 

if you like it, i like it

 

i think the trunk would be alil better , if u get the cf trunk . I like the old school emblem though just not on the hood.

 

TYPE R badge is better

 

What about an STi badge?

dave and his ideas... nice

 

do you wanna know how many 03+ kia and Hyundai's I saw there, but no maxima's newer then 99. wierd

 

i got a **** load of honda accords and 1-2-3rd gen maxes here

 

No junkyards around here have 5th gen maxs in the junk yard, I wish there was some around here, so I can get some things.

 

the one by my uncles place in NJ has 4 of them too bad it 7 hrs from here

 

Our local yard just started getting 00's and 01s this year, at least ones that weren't totally destroyed.

The guy said that the "value" of the car for parts is finally higher than the cost for the junkyard to actually buy the car.

 

same thing here, no 5th gens at all at the junkyard

 

The pull and save place (LKQ) pays people between 250-500 for the cars. Most have been in accidents. Maybe I need to look harder.

 

does anyone know if i could get a different colored cover for the 3rd brake light at a junkyard or something?? im looking for black because i recently put tints on my '00 white maxima and my interior is beige. from the outside it looks pretty stupid because legally, you can't cover the 3rd brake light in jersey with any tints at all. so if i could pop out the brake light and put on a black cover, it may look better, no?

However....being that you've chosen matte black, I can not complain. Personally, that is the BEST color that a car can be painted, that is, if corresponding outer aesthetics match. I plan on doing my engine flat black later down the road when it has the go to match it.

 

lol well those are interesting...

my .02 dave.. if your going to spend money to paint.. buy the 02-03 front end/grill..oh and where did you find the cf trunk from.. ive been looking around...hoods seem to be a dime a dozen not trunks though

 

i like the maxima symbol itself, and I think it'll be a good idea to put it on the lower lip like you said....however i dont like that big rectangle maxima symbol

 

There is a cover you can find, the dealer might have it. I add the spoiler to my car after the fact and have the 3rd brake light just unplugged and sitting there. But search the junkyards for SEs that had the spoiler stock, they usually have them. Also check the classifieds here they pop up from time to time.

I'll forgive you for doing what you did for now, there is a sticky at the top of the page for questions like these.

Too be honest, I always wanted the 02-03 front, but after I did the 5.5 light setup, I just love they way they fit and sit flush with the bumper with the rounded edged vs. the sharpened edge. I don't know really I'm caught between the two.

also for the CF trunk:

I'm going to order one someday, everytime I have money, I but other things. These are cheap at 675. but will be worth it when my goal to reduce the weight in the car as much as possible but still have luxuries.

We will se what happens with them, I have enough emblems around the car and such, but the new trunk everything will be shaved again.

 

There is a reason for the matte black but everyone is going to have to wait till next summer when most everything is done.

 

kewl!

 

cool
its hard to find old cars like that at the junkyard

 

newbies posting to 15 are not hard to come by in this forum

 

a bit ricey imo, XD

 

wtfreakk..

 

it was a joke which people obviously didn't get....damn noobs

 

its looking really nice !!!! like the old school emblem but personally I'll put away the Nissan emblem on the grill.
