On stickercity.com, get 60inch x 2 feet to be on the safe side. I can't remember the size I got but am pretty sure that size will be enough. You can either get it in matte black or satin black

i want to make the chrome pieces black also. I am not a fan of the chrome, i would like all chrome to be color matched black.

Where did you buy your vinyl wrap and how much did it cost? brand? and btw I have your car on my computers wall paper. I found it the night before I bought my max. I am going for the eibach drop and the stillen front lip. Your ride looks so clean. I am going for that look too. I dont want to copy but you keep it so fresh. I will have my own take on it. I will post up some pics after I install my drop on Thursday. How do you post pics from an android or smartphone to this forum?

I used 3M 1080 Black Gloss vinyl and wrapped it myself using their rapid-tac application spray.

Thanks man! I joined this site about a year ago myself and since then I've done the same as you, pieced together my Maxima from bits of what I saw. I do wish we had more options for parts but it's all good

I'm not sure what the best way to post pics from a mobile phone would be, I use Google+ to upload all my photos automatically to Picasa that I take with my phone, and then just link to them in the forum posts.
