Whenever I'm driving I'm always looking/checking my mirrors for traffic but I always seem to notice the Shoulders (particularly on the Driver's side) sticking out and it just looks so cool.

I find myself just checking the mirror just to see the shoulders jutting out

Do NOT even consider those. You are going to want a hub centric spacer by eibach. Top quality and fit. The LAST thing you want to compromise is safety at the wheels

Yes! I do that too. Everytime I look in the rearview, it is hot!

As for spacers be careful. I think the look he is going for would be spacers in the rear only.

It is the first thing I point out to a new passenger. "Hey hey, check out those fender flares!"

I use the inside mirror for viewing both the rear and slightly to either side, and the outside mirrors for viewing what would normally be the blind spot (40 degrees to the side). As a result, I would have to put my head against the window glass to see the fender flares.

Maybe that inability to see these haunches while driving is why I constantly find myself opening the garage door, then standing at various distances behind the car just looking at it. I am glad we have no nearby neighbors; they would be very concerned about my mental health.

Yes, I do that too. I love the curliness of the fenders there. On the '01 Altima that preceded my Maxima, I set the mirrors so I didn't see any of the side of the car. I suppose I should do that now for a wider angle view, but I love looking at the car in the side mirrors.

This is what all of us do but I think it is also the reason why it is a little harder for us to notice people in our blind spots.

But man, those Shoulders, those Shoulders (say it til it fades......) LOL!

Well, the 09 sure does has hips. It looks like a shy curvy chick with an attitude. She's hot, though. I do like the curves on your 09s.

It's rediculous isn't it!! I know I'm gonna wreck my car one of these days, because, I'm always checking out my cars reflection in storefront windows. And yes, I'm guilty, I sometimes open the window shades just to look at it sitting in the driveway. I feel like such a douche sometimes!!!

I am disturbed at my own attraction to the "hips" on my '09.
I can't stop looking at it.
She has been in the body shop since I got hit at 3 weeks old
I hope to get her back soon!
I log here just to look at pictures of 09's because I miss it so much

This is a funny thread because when we were looking for cars we originally drove a Ultima (yuk) and I walked around the dealership and saw the Maxima's I told her to forget about that car, you have to come see this Maxima and it's big fat azz.

Sorry to hear your car got nailed, same thing happened to me exactly 3 weeks after I bought the car.

Don't worry, we're all in the same company of douchebags
