New wheels part 2

Took some better shots of the Max just cleaned. Wheels were cleaned with Mother's top billet polish. Also, you might notice that my Max actually looks a little higher than the old photos. That's because I recently installed Koni fronts and KYB rears. And just like I mentioned in another thread(and got ridiculed) the shocks/struts changed the height of my car. Hopefully when the shocks/struts settle it will go back to it's normal height.

You might have to search for new wheels part 1 for info.

Bonus shot of the grill:

i love everything about your car except for the exhaust, honestly...it just messes up the clean, smooth look of the factory rear end.

other than that , it's tatas! :-)

The road feels great. The Koni/Kyb's make the most difference and I absolutely love them. Can't wait till my car settles again.

That's a first; to hear someone doesn't like the Greddy cat-back. I did notice my tips are crooked; I scraped them one time pulling into my driveway.

yeah, the rotors got a little rust on the non contact portion of the rotor. I can probably put a little lube on that to clean it up.

That's exactly what I have.

It's just called hyper black with a polished lip.

Great looking car. Love the rims and grill. NOt a fan of the mufflers. If they were tucked up more, I think they would be better-looking.

LUV the wheels like hell and I mean SWEEEEET!. Mufflers' I think double tips are double tips. Not that the exhaust is bad as I am sure its of quality, but the look just doesn't cut it for me.

Oh yeah, why is the 3.5 SE crooked?

Well the most glaring similarities would be the color, the tint and then the exhaust. I have quite a few more exterior mods though...hence similiar and not exactly like...the sig is definitely outdated though.

That is weird though. If it's not an SE then the dealership went through great lengths to con me. I bought the car brand new and from all appearances, wheels, engine cover, ride feel, etc. it's an SE. I'm sure I could have checked my VIN but...

I love that grill, really sets off the black. I don't think you can beat the Maxima in black with any other color. Where did you snag that grille??
