OK, Phase III complete. Had the RLM bumper removed, shaved (1.5" off bottom; scrap less), refiber-glassed and painted, also had the hood, front fenders resurfaced after 4 years of rock dings and repainted. Had all ground affects also removed sanded/painted. Activetuning Grill and Roof painter Onyx Black and added JDM Style roof spoiler from Jose at http://www.ionicdynamics.com/ also Onyx black

Last also had interior door handle trim painted to match the exterior Red Opulence color...

I still intend to have the intercooler powdercoated black so it's on my list...

how did you attach the roof spoiler, just 3m rape? Mind telling me how it lined up, you know how it sits on the plastic parts, did you have any space or did it completely cover the plastic part..thanks...ps looks great

 

Dig it man. I especially like the black roof w/spoiler. It's so clean. I'd be anxious to see some quarter-mile times, too now that you're turbocharged. Sweet!

 

ya got my vote for m.o.t.m

 

Wow man, that looks great! I like how you did the roof

 

that looks yummy....

that roof chrome trim piece....is that the 07 version? i haven't seen a single piece that stretches from the front to the back like that before.

 

That's the way my car came when I bought it in 03...


Thanks for the support all...

All we can say is WOW. I think you need a new challenge, let's exchange cars Chern, any time...

You should drive down on March 16th to the FL meet; then I'll be sure to go, just to see the Red Heat.

 

3M double sided emblem tape, lined up great IMO and I love the look...

 

Where did you get the Nismo Grill? I have looked for a Nismo grill and other Nismo components for an '04 with no results other than a shift **** and radiator cap.

 

one of the only non-4g maximas i kinda keep my eye on. love the roof, wouldn't have painted the grill. definitely hot.

 

Awesome Chern

I like the idea of coating the intercooler. Ive never seen that yet. IMO if you powdercoated black, and maybe added some word in red that matches your car color on the intercooler... that would look so sick. But you have the hottest max out anyways. Later bro

 

Great news, grill available from ActiveTuning.com, it's there S4.1 grill. I purchased the NISMO emblem on Ebay motors...

 

I hear you on the grill but I'll tie it all in when I paint the intercooler black...

 

Looks sweet.....Yeah the grill looks out of place black for now. But with a powder coated black intercooler....it'll flow nicely.

 

its sick and truely one of a kind....just a idea i thought of...what if u had the middle portion of the hood black, would that help the look or u don't think so?

 

car looks amazing...great job on the roof and spoiler. you should get the overlays for the chrome roof strips. are you going to fix the mufflers cause they seem to hang kinda low and not flushed with the rear? overall car looks good.

ps: i wanna see 1/4 mile times

 

Chern you put the musclecar and bad boy looks to the max ! Keep rock'in "The Redheat" !

 

I LOVE it Chern. I really love the black roof. Just keep going and make it look like mine, hahahaha. j/k Roof spoiler looks dynomite!!! Can you take pics of the door handles? Also, are you leaving the chrome strips or painting those too. Id really love to see red op lip on those rims, like this:



Any thoughts?>

 

yea that blk intercooler would be a world of diff. a guy here had a blk intercooloer on his 5th gen. was very sleeperlike Your ride is hot as hell except i dont like the muff tips

 

is it possible to arrange that my max can have sex with ur max?? LOL

Car looks Excellent 10/10 !

 

Blackened middle part of hood, red brakes, red lip:

 

to the blackend middle part of the hood idea.....doesn't flow at all IMO.

Keep up the great work Chernmax! Coming along nicely.

 

Looks Badda$$, and by that I mean good !

 

Very,very nice man.Have you thought of tinting the tails.That would look sik!

 

carbon fiber hood, unpainted?????

 

Prior to any other 'project #'s... can we please have some dynos... please?

 

Very hot looking my friend. I quess I won't see it till April when I head down south.

 

very very very very very nice man......
keep doin big things...
thats a bad *** max

 

I think it looks great.

 

nice.

can any1 photoshop the car with black hood? thanks in advance.

 

Looks great C...I like the black grille- flows nicely w/roof and rims.

 

your car is a beauty, i would love to see it in person.

 

very very nice.. the intercooler just looks mighty. have you consider painting the hood black as well?

 

Man, there are some ricey ideas in here.

 

Can't wait to get my roof/spoiler combo painted, I got the same roof spoiler as you. Got a quote of $300-325 for painting both and installation from a decent shop. Not having my maxie for 2.5 days kills me. Soon, hopefully soon.

As always, great job Chris H.

What is the exact black color on your roof. Does it have some sort of sparkle to it? My liquid silver has like particles in it and I am afraid that just black will look off. (not that its not supposed to look different)

 

Freakin awesome. the first maxima gtr. paint the intercooler and then no more. the only other mod you can do is put wings on the doors....chitty chittty bang bang.

 

like the new look but i think the grill should have stayed red, intercooler stay silver but polish the endtanks and i think the muffler tips need revamping!. overall nice car
