Got a couple more car projects done over the past week!

I finally got my BluBat overlay put onto my 3rd brake light! It's a very subtle, but very nice mod!




I got my new wheels/tires put on! Thanks to Raz76 for the awesome wheels/tires...BOOOO to FedEx for screwing them up. I finally got them re-powdercoated and on the car!






I also got my calipers/brackets taken care of!

I also found out that "tuner" lugs WILL work for our cars!








Next up on the list...blacking out the crappy chrome roof strips!

I posted a thread asking about this about a week ago, none of the replies were very helpful. Most aftermarket lugs I found had disclaimers stating that they would NOT fit OEM wheels. Happens that they will fit our Maxima's though!

Looking good boss.

Just replaced my rotors, pads, and painted my calipers too. Went with red. I never realized how small the rear calipers were till now. I hope those 19mm bolts on the rear didn't give you as much grief as mine did. I almost broke out the torch.

Mine weren't too bad. I didn't even use the impact on them, I was able to break them free with my long 3/8" ratchet.

Nice mods!! Get the roof strips covered with vinyl from Bluebat. Mine are at least 2 yrs old and looking great.

i didnt see ur thread about that that. i must have missed it. anyways, the reason why they probably say that is because MOST oem rims arent conical while ours are. if u look into the rim ull see that where the hole for the stud is, it dips in a little

I checked all 3 auto parts stores in my city today looking for chrome blackout tape...nobody has it. I'll either need to order it online, or hit up bluebat. Was his vinyl flexible enough to make the subtle curves without bunching up?

Looks sick. Need to get rid of the hamburger badge though. Post some pics if you do the roof strips because I have the same color Max and I am curious what they would look like black.
