Very nice indeed!
-What tires are you running?

-Hows the ride? Any vibration at highway speed? - sorry guys, had to ask... :-)

If you haven't already, go smack your dealership for installing the front license plate mounts :-)

Those wizzles be the shizzle. Mad tite yo.

Seriously, it does look good. Maybe the Eibach drop springs are in order for your next mod.

245/35 Sumitomo's, no vibration, it rides fine.
I smacked the dealership and tried to get them to put on a fresh bumper but no luck, I just found some plugs at the hardware store, just painted them and put them on...

Canadianmofo:
The Eibach kit is on there if you can't tell then I hope it settles a bit more....

Thanks guys!!

Its a very subtle drop. I think I'd have to see before and after pics side by side to tell.

Maximas are known for having huge wheel gaps. If this max wasnt running eibachs, the gap would have been obvious to even the blind with 20's. Nice drop, keep it clean....Question for ya...How's the handling...any problems with rough road yets?

Thanks defsquad222, The handling is good, no problems with rough roads yet, the roads out here are pretty smooth for the most part.
Thanks for the feedback

I agree defsquad nothing like a Maxima with a clean Drop and 20's.

I don't know anything about the eibach kit, is it a set of 4 springs or just the fronts?? I think the body to wheel/tire gap is good in the back yet would like to alleviate about 2 inches in the front. Would the front eibach springs be firmer than the factory SE? I would not want anything rougher than my stock SE ride.

I do like your look - ie dropped front end!

Thanks for any info.

KJSmitty, check out this website on Eibach's springs. My guess is that the springs would make the ride a little(probably alot) tighter than the se model....here it ishttp://www.eibach.com/index1.htm

Got it...I've seen that one above in person I personally thought the 22's looked too big for my taste, plus he had to mod the fenderwells to fit, I have no rubbing issues at all. The 6th gen can definitely handle some big wheels that's for sure...

I want to get a grill but I don't want to go Billet, I want something in mesh like the street concpets Maxima. I've grown to like the adult tooth actually, I just want to get rid of the baby teeth....

Keep the stock grill, and the 20s are a perfect compliment to that car

I like those rims! It looks good on your car. The only thing about the 6th gens that I don't like is that weird smiley lower valence. Isn't there any way to clear that black plastic out, make it body colored?
