New Max Owner

I just got my 04 Max SE in April with 23K miles. This seems to be the best Maxima forum. I figured I would join you guys. I like the car alot and I like how the 04-07 Maxima looks. I know everyone doesn't like them but I do.

I'm looking to get a 07 spoiler put on and very light window tint. I went to a custom graphics shop and filled in the hood indentations with matching chrome.

It looks like the same grille I have. You can pick it up on eBay

Welcome home. I have to give you for the originality of the hood chrome. Can't see from pics but seems to flow with the rest of the chrome.
Your on the right track. Grill is nice too.

Thanks, I guess my age gets the best of me sometimes but I just had to do something to the hood. In some light/angles you can't see it. At night time though it blings. I get guys in their Acura's "trying" to take me on the highway. Just last week some older guy in his BMW 745LI tail gated me on an open two lane road when all he could have done was go around???

Thanks, I'm a little chrome crazy. To bad they don't make a ram air hood or something for the Max.

Thanks, I didn't notice the hood indentations until the grill was put on. Very aggressive looking from Nissan. I just thought I would help it stand out more.

Oh man, i get this all the time!!

I notice a huge difference in the way people act around me on the road with my Max, opposed to what i used to drive before this....84' volvo 740. Everyone around me is a ****ing nut now!

It's interesting to observe the way people are.

Majestic Blue..that was my Second color choice.

I have a question for you, Majestic..where did you get the blue sidemarkers? (I actually need silver).

A website or something would be great. Thanks!

Even people in Mini Vans....you notice them trying to keep up with you off lights. Or little **** boxes. Its just funny how see the Max can get peoples blood going.

Says something about the car for sure.

Thanks, The grill was easy. I got instructions with the replacement classic grill. I like this car alot. I also had the lower grill too but it was to heavy and made the car pull to the left. I want to have sway bars installed and I'll do front and rear Stut tower bars myself. I also need to find a good tint shop in illinois. I would like a very light tint like 38%.
