I like the roof spoiler and would LOVE to do that... Shame they don't come prepainted to match your car.

Your car looks fabulous. I also have a SL and wanted to get a rear spoiler. Did you have to cut/drill the body to fix your spoiler? Where did you get it done from? How much did it cost you -- parts+labor?

I would like to get this spoiler: http://www.slickcar.com/bigshot.asp?ProductID=4886

Hope it will fit in the 07'SL

How do you post on here? Site won't let me start a new thread. Been a member since mid August.

Actually, I think you may gain access to start new threads after you reach a certain amount of posts in existing threads. Something like that.

15 posts. Why would you get the SL over the SE?? Those tiny 17" wheels and burlwood simulated panels are great for gramps.

blah blah blah

Honestly, I would take a SE or SL, I dont prefer one to another..Its just the car they showed me was an SL, and I liked it..ha

philoforlife

SL rules. Don't listen to him.

all for a 6th gen. age 85+ section say "I"...

Your car is really good lookin bro... I do hear what they are saying though. Did you really look at just the SL version? You must have seen at least a couple SE's at the stealership.

evilstevie

Buy that brand new? Very nice in black. Not sure if I'll get black or blue... My local dealer has had some 07's with high 20k miles for $20k.

LOL c'mon guys I'm not hatin', and I wouldn't take anything from the SL, they are definitely nice rides. I actually drove a friends '07 SL and was pleasantly surprised. Honestly, there aren't a lot of differences but I like to give peeps $hit with SL's is all. If I had one, I'd give guys with the SE's $hit lol.

I like SL's prefer the wood grain trim, and the softer ride, but they didn't come with the 18 inch wheels. It was almost a toss up each has there pluses. I just made sure my SE had leather like the SL.

bb700092

The SE's are heavier than SL's

LandsEnd

How much, and what makes it heavier besides the wheels?

RHMax

Depending on options, base SE is lighter.

bb700092

Base SE with the cloth seats and with almost no luxury features is not worth buying. Its better to buy a base Altima SE 3.5 V6 and add 18" wheels to it. Thats even lighter than a base Maxima SE and also lower priced.

Fully loaded SE is heavier than fully loaded SL. Base SE is heavier than base SL. Can you please elaborate on how or when SE is lighter than SL?

bb700092

I dunno but with the stock wheels, SE's are heavier than the SL's. BTW, why is the weight without the wheels important? Do you drive without the wheels?

I think without the wheels the weights will be the same or very very close because fully loaded SE and SL are almost the same except a few minor differences (like wooden trim, etc.) that doesn't make much difference to the weight. The difference in weight is due to the wheels. I had to make this weight a big deal because some people here (like Mack, etc.) are making a big deal out of 1" difference in the wheel diameter. My point is that you guys with SE have gained a 1" in wheel diameter but also gained 12 lbs in weight, so nothing to party about. In Mack's language, I am just giving guys with the SE's $hit because I own a SL lol.

Its time we do away with the misconception that SL's are for old people and SE's for young. It might be interesting to note just as an example that Mack (SE) is 37 and I (SL) am 29, and there are many more such examples. There is absolutely NO correspondence between age of a person and wheel size of his car.

BB you have a great point. I just use age as a harassment tactic LOL. Bottom line is they really aren't very different but we know the SL is the "luxury" model with more comfy ride and woodgrain interior effects, wheras the SE is the "sport" edition with more modern brushed interior and larger tires for looks and handling etc. Both great cars in their own right just boils down to personal pref is all. Personally, my SE is loaded to the max (no pun intended) heated steering wheel, retracting mirrors, heated seats etc but it doesn't ride quite as nice as the SL, but then it wouldn't with my performance oriented setup. I think we can all agree that the Maxima is an awesome car however.

SickSE

lol, SL bashing the SE AGAIN!!!

Bottom line-6th Gen SL stock wheels look horrible. No if/and/but's about it.

bb700092

And 6th Gen SE stock wheels look wonderful. Someone here has great taste

bb700092

I totally agree with you. Also, whatever I said was in a humorous way, not like

I was in a dilemma whether to purchase the SL or SE. I really liked the bigger wheels of SE. But as far as I can remember, the Vehicle Dynamic Control + full-size spare was not being offered in the 07'SE. That is not the case with 08'SE though. Since I wanted the VDC, I went for SL. Also, I like luxury more than sporty. I am a laidback person

Does any of you with the 07'SE have VDC+full-size spare?

LandsEnd

I'm not sure if my rear view mirrors retract. They sure look like they do, but when I tap on them they don't budge. I think they retract, but the previous owner has never done it, so it might be stuck somewhat. Don't want to break it, so I leave it alone. Can someone tell what the retractable 1 looks like, or better yet a picture. (Talking about the manual folding mirrors.)

I do not have VDC, or traction control. Didn't even know about VDC at the time. Actually I assumed traction control was standard. I heard 2005 it was standard. Wish I had both.

blackmax07

Well I'm sure they fold in, I have the automatic ones and they just fold in with the click of a switch ahaha..It would be pretty stupid if they didn't fold in manually..whats all this about sl vs se..its still a 4dr sedan that weighs like 4000 lbs..its a LUXARY sedan ahaha.

Fastmax05

iTrader: (17)

its not 4000 lbs... and its a SPORTS sedan... not a WTF? " Luxary" hahah sedan...

a "Luxary" lol sedan in my eyes is a m35/m45 ???

just my .02

iTrader: (17)

Oh... PS.... Spell check is your friend :-D

Compusmurf

lol, there might be some correlation of older people and additional weight gain tho....

blackmax07

Ha, I'm not here to fight or anything..But if you think a m35/m45 is a luxury sedan, then I would say an m5/335i/g35 sedan are sports sedans..The max is like right between, it doesn't really have an identity..ahha

Fastmax05

iTrader: (17)

LOL

thats risky to say hahah... lots of old mods out there that will ban u for that

blackmax07

Anyhow, I'll post more pictures when I get the roof spoiler..Might get some rims after winter, not sure yet..

Compusmurf

hahaha, yeah, well, I'm "older" and feel the additional weight gain. So should be ok for me to say that...

Compusmurf

Yeah, blackmax, I'd love to see how it looks on your 07. I have an 07 black SE and considering doing this if I can only figure out how to get it painted/where, etc....

blackmax07

Any paint shop will do it, just give them our paint code..Should cost around 70-100 I'm guessing..
