of the Max when I took it for a camping trip this past weekend, the weather and scenery were gorgeous.




Post your Max Thanks

 

I like your roof spoiler. Ionic dynamics right? Is that painted body color or black?

 

It is the ionic painted my body color- some people don't like it but I think it helps provide a sportier stance.

Rebound your pics people

 

When is it getting lowered?

 

I hope the next month or 2. Will do spring/strut or coilovers with 15 or 20mm spacers

 

you dont need spacers...just coilovers and a straight wheel during pics

 

Oooh, Is that grey luster metallic? /Jealous.

 

I like it I'm thinking about getting one for mine. How much did it cost you to get it painted?

Here's a couple pics I took a while back with my gf's camera when we were at the park.

 

I forget the price of the spoiler- i want to say 40 or 65 bucks- i had it painted from a mutual friend that works at a body shop. I also still need to black out the chrome trim- I loathe chrome >.<

And Phat- I like turned wheels for car pics. Your rims are purple- i don't expect you to understand

Nice ride 02pearl- I shopped for a white max(my 95 was white and so was my 300ZX TT). I'd recommend doing it if you don't have a moonroof spoiler- 3 spoilers is too much.

 

here is mine. Same color

 

^ I like the wheels but they should have caps so you dont see the lugs. At least yours is not 4x4 like the first max....lol

 

I dont follow your logic....the caps are on...no hub visible. As far as the lugs go...you can see everyone lugs. Its not like im the odd one out here?

 

I prefer wheels where you cant see the lugs and yes every wheel covers the hub.

Here are mine:


and without the caps, def worse looking:

 

Oh I feel ya man. Those look okay. But I like the lug look myself. To each their own I suppose

 

I don't have to worry about the 3rd spoiler because I have no sunroof . I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on that soon though. I gotta save up some more money since I just bought a Megan catback.

Also, you can't see it because of the lighting in the picture but I blacked out my trim with this:
Goes on like tape, then trim off the excess with a razor and you're done. It took me about an hour to do both sides. I put it on in April and it's lasted all through summer with no problems. I'll snap some pictures of it if you'd like.

 

live by this on forums lol

 

Here's mine...

 

Another Grey Lustre! I also am not a fan of chrome, how long does that trim tape generally last? Has anyone had experience painting it?



Some happy Nissan's at your friendly local Napa Auto Parts

 

I put it on in April or so and after all the summer heat and rain it looks the same as the day I put it on. I have no doubts it will hold up through winter too. I've heard of other people using plastidip on their window trim but this tape is much easier IMO.

 

you mean my car is a honda you dont expect me to understand

 

Doh! That's right! Keep the pics coming people- your cars look good

02 Pearl- can you point me to a site with that trim tape? I don't feel like plasti dipping all the chrome

 

ive put it on mine when i had it and it lasted about 2 yrs. another guy on here did both of his 5th gens and its still holding up after 2 yrs

 

Amazon.com That's where I got mine. I ordered two rolls of it just in case

 

 

This has turned into the "stock ride height" thread.

 

Allow me to break the cycle (somewhat).

Sorry pbs, wheels are turned in most shots.

This is the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. Some of the most fun I've had on public roads in a while. Lots of fast winding curves, you have to watch out for bikers everywhere though. If you just got done polishing your brass cojones turn north onto Hwy 151 (Pisgah Hwy) and get ready to work some apexes for about 3 miles. I think I need new tires after that stretch. This was last saturday and it was a bit overcast. Yesterday was much better with lots of sunshine but my girlfriend was already complaining that I was taking more pictures of the car than her on the trip.

 

Here's some pictures of the trimbrite tape installed on my max.

 

I did the trip up and down the Parkway a few times on my motorcycle. Here are a couple of pics (sorry, no Max).

 

looks damn good... and great squatty stance


















... for a 5 gen

 

Maxident, that's about what it looked like on Sunday. Absolutely beautiful.



A bonus to the trip I forgot to mention. I was browsing CL for various cities on the way back to FL and found a nice old lady selling a set of near mint grey floor mats for $20 in Columbia, SC. It was only a 15 min detour and now I have an option to the all weather mats that came with the car. It's nice to have something besides hard rubber to rest your feet on for those long road trips.

 

i'll just leave my little piece of old rice here

 

Even the tow truck driver was like "goddamn look at those rims!"
JK JK

 

 

What rims are those

 

Those are 18's from a Nissan Murano if I'm not mistaken.

 

So simple and so tough

 

Your wheel remind me of the Toyota 'trd' 18s.

 

03-05 Muranos I believe. Some people say they are old and played out at this point but I've always been stuck on clean OEM 5 spokes. My '96 had the 5th gen 16's (see sig).

They're probably the cheapest OEM wheels to find on craigslist, but they don't pop up very often. I got mine for $280. They're a bit heavier than the stock 16's the car came with but for the price and a +35 offset, they're hard to beat.

When you look at them on a Murano, it's hard to believe they can look so good on another car.

 

Ha that they do. Similar but no black on them
