Nice n Welcome

 

thanks i see your from the tri state , keep me posted on any car meets that you might have ,... on a side note what are you doing to your max to prepare for the storm ?

 

Nothing. Just parked it on my driveway n hide it from any trees or falling debris

 

Looks real nice. Like the tint and tails and interior LEDS.

Damn you guys make it hard for me to keep holding onto my 02 and not upgrade.

 

Welcome!!!!

Nice mods!! How long did it take you to do the cf mod? I was thinking about that too but based on my previous experience, I didn't want to deal with peeling in the hot weather.

 

it took me about 2 hours the radio was the hardest in order for me not to get it to peel i removed all the pieces and wrapped around the edges once you place back it its holding its self in ... so far so good only time can tell

 

Nice work dude!

 

Where did u buy the vinyl from? Do they have it in red and how hard was it removing the panels. Wanno do mine in red

 

ya Ray Ray can you post a how-to on removing the panels without breaking them? i can go start yanking on stuff but that generally doesnt end well

that's awesome - thanks Ray! you did a great job with the vinyl wrap keep up the good work!

 

Mine came with carbon fiber so no Need to do mine. Everywhere is covered with carbon fiber except the door panel where the window switch at.

 

Pics of said stock carbon fiber trim. When I put the radio's in at the plant, we did NOT have a carbon fiber trim. There was this black crap that supposed to look like CF but it looked nothing like CF

 

That's wat I have the crap Dat look like carbon fiber Lol my interior look will b my last mod.

 

yeah i have the "carbon fiber" too after seein the brushed aluminum in the '12 i like that much better so just grabbed some 3M brushed aluminum vinyl and gonna wrap all of it up

 

Welcome to the Org. Ray Ray, and very clean ride man...

 

can u post pics i would love to see were else i can add it lol

 

Sorry but that silver trim better not be like the Infiniti. Only after 10k miles it was chipped and peeling. Looked terrible when it was traded in. I'll stick to my "fake" carbon.

 

ok update on the car .. im taking it to the dealer this week to repair the front wheel bearings ... and to fix a fog light that has water in it ...

 

LEt us know what they say about your fog. I can see them saying the fog light isn't covered as you already took the rear cover off to install the HID and maybe did not reinstall it correctly.

 

was thinking of putting stock light back in and turing it in like that .

 

i cannot even lie....this max is money. i love all of your mods, even the CF touches, i just hope that it continues to look as nice as it does now

 

thanks phat

 

well i dropped off the max at the dealer and the changed the driver front wheel bearings and ordered a new fog light ill pick that up next week ....

i also got my switch backs but one of them doesnt work properly so i emailed the guy and waiting for a responce but they do look good ill post pics later..


how can i change the title of this thread ?
