might consider selling mines

 

In all fairness your brother's rims themselves certainly are nice.

'sides, I'm biased, I'll go for the Max everytime

 

Nice cars.....
I just don't understand almost EVERY max owner removes the amber color up front.

 

wow owesome looking machine !!!!!!!

 

Because it looks good? (confused look)

 

Meh. Monkey see, monkey clears the amber. Personally, I like the amber.

All that aside, there's really nothing amiss here with that Merlot Maxima. From these pictures, it's absolutely gorgeous. I'd take that over the TL any day of the week. But then, we're all biased to that preference.

This thread would be a big hit in the Members Rides section, because of the whole Nissan vs. Honda sibling rivalry thing.

 

to add to rochester's comment...
when i blacked out my headlights on my 03 i made it a point to NOT get rid of the amber. i think the amber ovals in the front set the front end nice!
and yes merlot looks hawt. considering that as a repaint color on my 00 as well.

 

Blacking the headlights, or a gun-metal gray... that's the one visual mod that keep haunting me. I prefer a stock look, but the the headlights on the OP's Maxima look real, real nice.

 

Not me, never.. Stock FTW when it comes to lights.

 

Looks great

 

Neat

 

car looks good, rims are hot

I just dont know if I would have put those rims on that car. They seem over-sporty (is that a word) esp for the rich looking Melot! To me the max needs a more refined rim.

But I aint mad @ you playa!!

 

In the OP's defense in regards to the amber, those lights are not stock. The amber bulbs that come with them are not as attractive as the oem circular amber cover. In essence, he didn't really 'get rid' of anything.

 

agreeddd^ thanks lol

 

Stock max's with merlot dont look the greatest, but when done up right it looks fantastic. Nice job.

BTW what lights are those? ebay? They look nice as well.

 

Lovely ride man. How low are you on your D2s?

 

thanks alot bro and yea those are the ebay headlights

 

im not exactly how sure i am lowered i eyeballed it from the get go but i can check

 

loving it!

 

I honestly wasnt a fan of merlot maximas.... untill now, that car is absolutly stunning. Keep up the good work bro.

edit: Makes me want 350z wheels now

 

nice ride for sure. my favorite wheels. seeing them on a 5.5gen makes me want them even more. i see your window trim is blacked out, what method did you use? trimbrite tape?

 

if i had a set of 5.5 head lights...id bake them open..paint them black..and seal them back up..i love the amber up front..i hate the clear...on all color cars, seriously

 

I want the Merlot...the ones in the bottle!

 

Car looks perfect with the wheels and ride height. What percent tint is on your car? 30%?

 

yea i used trimbrite for the window trim, nd yea 30% percent

 

The wheels look really good on your Maxima.
