Still Chrome Crazy

Bought this entire lot of bits to add to my car off ebay from a guy in Hong Kong for under $80.00 Shipped. Made for the J31 Teana but will fit mine perfect. They had more items Door sills and Grill surround moulds ect,but they had Teana written on them so not a lot of use.

Most of the parts should also fit the M35 or 45 as well as it's almost exactly the same body as mine.

Engine cover chrome project is on hold due to techincal difficulties.

Mirror covers

Driving light surrounds

Front Guard Indicator Surround

Door handle protectors


Do you think all this chrome is going to be over the top ???

To give my honest opinion, it may be a little overboard. HOwever, I would really need to see them to give an educated opinion. But I do really think you got some Phat pieces there. I'm loving the mirror covers. I've been wanting those for a while and was wondering if someone was going to come out with those. They have similar ones on the 300C which are very tight. I'll give you props for getting those, getting new ideas for the game......Keep it up! If you like it, install it if there is no major drilling to do and see if you like it afterwards. If you don't like some of it, you can take it back off. PEACE OUT.......

Deus, now why does that comment not surprise me. Actually me either unless it's under the hood, Once I install the RedLineMax Bumper on my ride, eventually I will be switching to blacked out grill inserts for a more agressive look and dark lens fogs...

You may also want to consider op red colored grills. Photoshop it and post pics, if you can. It may look surprisingly good.

I've never seen G35 OEM 19s, but I got the OEM 18" for my car. The G-Max.

Hey Man!! How are you and your Max holding up down there? i just got a look at the news and I see its nothing too good. I'm suppose to be headed to Biloxi for my next assignment. I may not have a place to stay from the looks of things. I don't want my Max's to have to go through storms like that.

Well I've been watching the news and I seen nothing good about the area, but I've haven't heard much on the base. I haven't heard anything on a freeze, but I'll be home in GA for a few weeks before heading that way. Hopefully I can make it. I'm glad my cars aren't there yet.

Keep abreast of Navy ALNAV or NAVADMIN messages, that is where you'll first see official notification which your admin dept will answer from... Good luck, I am heading to the region for a 3 week tour for the American Red Cross because I am a volunteer disaster service specialist. Sorry Max Fans for being OT, last response on this thread...

The AF has frozen everyone headed to Keesler. Not sure if your an AF or Navy person. But here is the info for Keesler (its in a word doc straight from their site): Keesler AFB

Best wishes...

Sorry for whoring on this thread, got the memo of the freeze today - remembered this convo.

Yeah I just found out how sever everything was. I also recieved a call saying that my Maxima had been diverted to ATL instead of NO. This couldn't have happened at a worse time.

pkane3, I like your window tinting. Was that done at the dealer or did you have it done somewhere else?
