Congrats bro looks great. My next project other than the BD is going to get the headlights opened and painted Black and doing the LED R8 MoD and maybe a Halo ring around the HID. Love the Maxima more and More Everyday.

heyyyy i got it done right by 65st, they did an excellent job considering the shape of the headlights, I did lose alot of light tho at night, I want you too see my car first in person and see if you like it ,if your gonna get it done, because the amount of headlight loss is alot, but in the day time it looks really good lol

it looks good, just not for me. i wouldnt want to lose the light at night, considering i like seeing the "blue" of the lights and they are expensive. at least this way i feel like i am using them. haha

Doesn't that draw unwanted attention from the cops? Plus that is a safety concern,not only does that diminish your view at night but also the other person might not be able to see you and bang you are in a crash and next thing a criminal and possible civil action. Just my 2 cents.Peace!

Sorry buddy. Car looks great but I am just not digging the headlights. Kinda looks weird but I guess if you planning on blacking other things then I am interested to see how the combination will turn out. Drop looks great too though.

Man, I love it.
The tints really sets off the front end and gives the lights more personality plus when you incorporate it with that Stillen front air dam-then it's like DaYUM.
I can't wait to get mine done but I've been to a few places here and can't seem to find any shop that knows or is willing to do them

Be careful with those tint films. The headlights on all the new cars these days have plastic lenses. In time, the heat from the halogen bulbs will cause the plastic lense to crack because of the film. I've seen this happen in many headlights. IMO, tinting the headlights does more harm than good, the main negative is that it reduces the effectiveness of the headlight beams. Unless you have Xenon headlights.
