Ebay has the pillars.

I have been checking with the company that made the rain guards for both my 5th gen Maxima and my 6th gen Maxima. They are located near Atlanta. I have already committed to posting the details here on the 'Accessory' thread as soon as they are available.

 

Please do not put FUGLY chrome pillars on a Maxima, I can get by with rain guards but chrome pillars look...

 

need suggestions on what to do. when i first got my max. the dealer talked me into getting the car alarm that the dealer had. the reason that i got it was because the finance dealer told me that if somone other than nissan installs an alarm and if its not a product used by nissan than it would automatically void the electrical part of my warranty. well nissan had already charge me for their alarm but, they have not yet installed it. ive read somewhere that aslong as the item is not installed than the dealer can refund that charge. i went to the dealer on saturday and they refused to refund me the charge even though the alarm wasnt even installed yet. any thoughts or opinions?

 

I cant tell you what to do about the aftermarket alarm, but one thing is for certain.
This - "finance dealer told me that if somone other than nissan installs an alarm and if its not a product used by nissan than it would automatically void the electrical part of my warranty."
is complete and utter BS.

If the installer messes up your car while installing the alarm, the Nissan would rightly refuse to fix it under warranty. However alarms and after market components are installed all the time, by both qualified shops and DIY'ers without voiding manufacturer's waranty.

Actually, I changed my mind, you should demand your money back, after being blatenly lied to in your face!

good luck,
Max

 

Buy a Ipod, its the best interface.

 

Did anyone get the splash guards? how do they look? any thoughts??

 

I ALWAYS get splash guards. These splash guards on the '09 look good, and fit into the flow of the lines of the car. But they are rather strange, in that they run along the bottom side of the car for an unusually long stretch (well over a foot), and do not reach very far below the rocker panel (no more than two inches or so). I will be adding pieces of flat black rubber that reach down about two more inches to the front of these guards in order to give more protection to the side of the car from trash thrown up from the tires.

Of course the splash guards on the '09 Maxima MUST be color-coded to match the car, and someone on the ORG whose Maxima came without them said when he tried to order a set, Nissan told the dealer they were not available for ordering yet. That was a month or two ago, and they may be available by now.

Gotta have splash guards.

 

I ordered a set and they arrived... - instructions.

Guess Nissan is accidentally shipping them without install instructions. I'm in a holding pattern, esp. since it mentions DRILLING holes....

 

lightonthehill, thanks for the info. any pics?

 

I have a thought, anyone want to be "daring" and crawl under their car with a camera????

 

I have no camera, don't know how to down load photos, and don't yet even have my '09 Maxima.

BUT:

If you go to the 'ooooo, I saw a maxima and took some pictures . . .' thread here on the 7th gen board, then go to PAGE 4 of that thread, the first thing on that page is a dozen pictures of a silver '09 with splash guards. Look down through those. There is one pic that shows the back half of the driver's side (window sticker prominently showing) where you can see the rear splash guard fairly well. It extends almost all the way along the bottom half of that cigar-shaped indentation along the lower rear of the car. Strangest splash guards I have ever seen, but they certainly follow the flow of the car, and the graceful slight downward curvature near rear of the tire ties in nicely with the slight downward curvature of the rocker panel area in front of the tire. Neatly done.

 

thnx! just saw the pics. the splash guards doesnt look like anything though. it just blends into the car. looks like there isnt anything there.

 

Right. If you didn't know the splash guards were there, you could miss them entirely. They add more to the shape, style and flow of the car than they deflect water from the tires. The fact they only reach down a few inches is why I will be adding rubber flaps that extend down about two inches lower than the OEM guards to the front of each one.

 

waiting waiting waiting.........still can't find parts that i want!!

 

Does anybody know of a dual exhaust system for a 95 SE?

 

I am waiting on rain guards also. I have used the AutoVentshade brand, made in Lawrenceville GA, on my last three Maximas. I have always reached their site at www.autoventshade.com, but they told me they prefer that customers use their real name - www.lundinternational.com - to reach their site (both links reach the same site).

I contacted them again today; the ventshade molds for the '09 Maxima are being made, and the ventshades should be available within the next few months. When they are ready, you will be able to find '09 Maxima ventshades listed on their site. First one here to see them listed should let us all know by posting in this thread.

 

Looks like you got a lot further than i did with them... Its good news though cause i think that they would look sharp on the max... I'll keep checking back and seeing whats going on and will post if i find them.

 

chrome pillars http://sestrims.com/v3/nissan-maxima...1-p-16131.html

i don't like them, and I actually want to get the chrome on the door/window frames painted to match my car

 

i recently just bought and self-installed super white LED lights for the interior, I'll have pictures soon, but if you guys know what I'm talking about and need help let me know, it wasn't hard at all. All the bulbs cost about $67 and took 2 days to ship. I got the interior map lights, driver/passenger feet light, door step lights, rear passenger lights, trunk light, and license plate light, all super white LED, I think it looks amazing. Here is a direct link to where I got them from, and 194 is the bulb size.

michaelle8885 - Good info. Will probably be used by many folks here. Much appreciated.

 

Anyone put a moon roof wind deflector on. If so how does it look? Nissan's "Maxima Accessories" page says it's a no drill installation.

 

Agreed!!! Don't deface your MAX. It'll be ....

 

I did. Too dark to take photos tonight. It's the "factory" model, so if you find one, you've seen them all.

Simple install. You need like 3-4 hands tho.

 

Okay, thanks! Looking forward to the pictures. Also, no price on website. How much was it?

 

Mynissanparts.com has the price shown and they have all kinds of other tacky items. LOL. chromed gas door??? OMG I so do NOT gotta get me one of those.

 

Chernmax would love this...

"2009 NISSAN MAXIMA 1 PIECE GAS CAP COVER



YUP, surely. a 'sight to behold'.

 

The price on the deflector is surprisingly low. Looking forward to your pics to make a decision.

 

Any thoughts on these two grilles? Does anyone have knowledge of E & G's quality.

I like the first one it would have looked better with out that horizontal bar in the middle tho but deffinatly much better.

 

Yeah, the first one is closer to oem, but just a bit nicer.

 

does anyone know how we could get our hands on a stock grille without the logo.?... the only thing i can think of is custom fabrication.

 

I like the second one better.

 

I am still waiting to hear if anyone has had a REMOTE START ALARM SYSTEM installed on their 2009 MAX!!! I have had a remote start system on my last two vehicles and have become very spoiled.........Plus I live in the middle of no where in Warrensburg MO and it is starting to get pretty cold.....

I have called all the shops in my area and they all say the same thing......that they have not come out with the 2009 Maxima interface module yet.....one shop said they could use the 2008 DEI interface for push button start system but they don't have the updated wiring color code and layout and that it would take ALL day and would be very expensive......they could not give me an exact quote but referenced that it could possible be over $850.00 because of all the time in labor trying to figure out all the wires.......

Anyone else have this problem???

 

HI I RECENTLY BOUGHT MY SPOILER FOR MY 09 MAXIMA TO BE HONEST I HAD A GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH EVERYTHING I GOT IT REAL QUICK, THIS BY FAR THE CHEAPEST PLACE AT LEAT FOR THE REAR SPOILER I GOT IT INSTALLED WITH LESS THAN $500 WITCH IS GOOD.

 

I ordered the rubber all weather mats from mynissanparts.com. It comes in a set of 4. They all fit perfectly. They are pretty thick, but I don't even notice them.

 

http://www.abcnissanwholesale.com/ has good prices as well. i think their shipping charges are a bit cheaper. i bought my rubber mats from here. i'm thinking of ordering the splash guards and the deflector as well.
how do you install the splash guards?? is there drilling involved? can anyone shed some light on this? i would really hate to goto the dealer for splash guards!

 

DarkSlate, yes, you have to drill, no, there are NO install instructions included. I still haven't found the time to do mine, but I have them.

Find my "help needed" thread and look at pics that folks were kind enough to post for me.

 

i read through the "help needed" thread but there is no mention of how they were installed.

 

That's cause I haven't installed them yet. One of these days... Really!!
