Well finally got around to taking some pics. Here's what has been going on:
Replaced front bumper with a fresh RLM bumper with matching lower steel mesh
07 rear bumper
Painted interior fake "aluminimum" pieces
Fresh claybar!!

I painted the center dash with blk textured paint. The fake aluminimum has gotten so scratched up, it was time for a change, it turned out sweet!





Closeup of the texture:

looks good J..good job with painting the interior

fcking sick... what did u pay for the rear bumper painted... ???

Nice job looks good

Your ride is HOT. I likr the idea of painting the interior. Did you use spray paint or brush?

Damn - that looks hot J - 10 thumbs up
You got me all wet now as I can't wait to put on my RLM bumper too. Where did you get that mesh from please? And yea, how much did the rear bumper run you?

Thanks all for the props!

I got a good deal on both, rear bumper (free) and paint for both (with cutting down and reglassing the front) for $550

Thanks Ramberg, it's spraypaint, super easy!

Thank you sir, the mesh was leftover from the orig RLM grills that were made, there was a couple of pieces left...

Post a pic of the paint J?


Looks great!

I think, correct me if I am wrong, but that is an '08 bumper, the '07 is one piece, at least mine is. Either way, looks good.

What gives you the impression that his bumper is more than 1 piece? I dont see it.

uhhh, so he just arbitrarily decided to paint the part above the mufflers gray?

The 07 SE bumpers come that way.

Smoking Hot!!!

I stand corrected. (although still actually sitting)

Jsmith! The ride looks spectacular, definitely one of the baddest maxima's out there. The over-all Concept is simple spectacular definitely continue the wonderful work on that bad azz ride, an keep us all posted as well.

I will tomorrow...and thanks!

Not completely clear on this but you see some painted and some not painted ont he 07/08's...and it's blk OEM not painted.

jsmith - are you still leasing this car?

Based on the way the car looks, I'd say no...


actually a while back J did state he was getting out of it...

Nope, I bought it. I was having thoughts of trading her in but decided to buy my lease out and keep the Max!!! The thought of starting over on mods is just out of reach right now, the 7th gen will have to wait (at least a year past the release so they can get all the bugs out!!)

That looks great!!! That 07 bumper looks sweet

Hey did you do something to your shift display? My 06 looks nothing like that

I have the 04 4AT....

looks sweet. i love your ride.

If you are refering to the shift ****, yeah its an aftermarket. If you are talking about the trim around the shifter ( P R N D ) yeah it was painted black.

Damn bro your ride looks hot also, love the nose, wheels, color and flow of your ride...

sweet!!

Looks amazing!!

Well I figured that was obvious. I think he meant the layout of the ( P R N D) beacuse I don't have the 5AT...

And thanks all for the props again!!!!!

Nice ride! Love the look

SUPER CLEAN!!!. well, as always...

where did you get your lower mesh?
(mine was never shipped)

also wish i found a free rear. some guys i tell ya...

Looks great... You have almost the exact same theme I'm looking to do to my Liquid Silver SE. Great job!

Post #8 NEWBIE!!! lol.
It was leftover from the few RLM grills they made....

ttt

Nice job on the paint, it looks nice and clean. Which brand did you use?

It was probably mine
since it was sent to me 3 times supposedly...

Um yeah, I guess we don't need to go there....
