Here is what i traded and what i got
Thanks!

My old ride: 2002 Mercedes C320 Rieger



My New clean slate White horse

longisland09maxima

Nice. I regret not getting white. I had the black and white next to each other at the dealer and my ex-wife talked me into the blackand I regret it to this day. Donet get me wrong i love my car and teh black is super sexy especially when clean but the white has so many more aesthetic mods IMO.

Cant wait to see what you do!!

Rking21

^^ I agree I regret it too many. I smh everytime Im see a white one!

Ghozt

I don't regret getting silver cause I like my color, but when I see a white one I sure as hell know what color my 2nd Max would be if I senselessly bought a second. only in premium, that roof is killer.

Nice ride Eesjunin - welcome to the ORG!!

Kmoney

Welcome to the org n let the mods begin lol

eesjunin

Actually i was in the market for the silver/grey one but my wife talked me into the white one Thats funny!


Thank you!

Thank you! I had alot of parts/mods left from my benzo so the faster i sell them the faster the mods will be coming in.
The UPS has been already kind to me...mods are already rolling in
Will be posting as the mods are complete, i just dont like showing what has arrived before being installed

eesjunin

Here we go...first mod was the grille.
As i looked around a photoshoped several scenarios and color schemes- this is what i came up with.
me likey

eesjunin

A better pic of the grille, and the 3K HID's for the fogs

I like the grill, what did you use to black it out? I've been thinking of doing the same on my metallic slate. Also, any plans to move the license plate to a better location? I need one too here in Illinois, but i hate how much it sticks out from the front bumper.

killemall2k

that parking lot looks alot like norton, is it?

eesjunin

I took the grill out, took off the crome housing and taped everything. Then prepped the surface and used plastic dip..
Eah i played around with that lp location...the only solution that i am thinking about is actually painting the bracket the car color so it blends in...

eesjunin

ahahaha..10 points! it is!

eesjunin

Tinted rears..take one...not sure if i like it or not, but it grew on me over the weekend.

VERY NICE!!!!!!! Welcome!

eesjunin

Thank you! Deffinitely enjoying it!

eesjunin

End up scooping a Stillen intake localy! BTW the filter used by this intake is in fact K&N so it needs recharge kit to clean and not water only, FYI for those who might have heard otherwise...
Getting dropped with Eibachs as we speak
Stillen lip to be installed this week.
Was going to clear bra, but my front bumper needs a coat...so thats next week

eesjunin

First impression on the intake:
- Does sound louder
- not sure if i am noticing any gains just yet
-it does seem to open up in Sports mode with 3000Rpms +

Nice ride!
I was thinking about purchasing a clear 3m bumper guard as well.. Where did you buy yours from? How much? And are you installing it yourself?
Thx!

Infi30t

Nice looking car. My step-mom has the black on black and she absolutely loves it.

eesjunin

I bought mine from nuSolis from ebay( $60 for the entire car kit, pre cut). Its not 3m but very similar, just as thick and i have used it on my Benzo before...i think i had it on for 5 years? no problems...and yes installing it myself, wide curved on these cars , its a breeze...i already did the hood...30 mins max thats all it took!
If you need someone to do it, usually same people who do tint do the bra's

Thank you! Just starting with it Deff enjoyinh it so far!

funnyman82

thank you eesjunin! wow $60!! that is a deal! have you noticed any yellowing or cracking?
also when you order the entire kit and pick SV does the bumper include cutouts for the fog lights? do they include mirrors as well?
i have a black SV sport...i hope it is not too noticeable...

Ride is clean. Only thing is the tail lights. It would've looked better is you reversed that idea and had the reverse light section of the tail light not tinted.

eesjunin

I have had it on my dark blue benzo and in my opinion it actually more visible on white than dark. The only place i wouldnt suggest putting the film on is the headlights and fogs...thats where i saw the film go yellowish over 5 years....Depends on what kit you get, the seller offers just the front, or front and mirrors etc...i got the full kit which includes the bumper, the hood, the headlights, the mirrors, the windshield pillars, the rear bumper( horizontal ledge where the trunk opens)
Here is a pic of the hood that i did


I agree, on the other hand thats what everyone here has done...i wanted to do something different! The other problem i ran into is that this is not a tint or spray...i had a problem with the top section of the tails with this "protection" film not contouring it... At first i wasnt too fond of it, but it has grown and i am enjoying it! Thanks for the kind words!

eesjunin

Sooo...got lowered with Eibachs...first impression- This is how the car should come off stock! Love the stiffness on the corners and the front doesnt jump when you hit the gas...which was my biggest dislike comeing from the rear wheel drive car...

funnyman82

thanks again for you reply...
another question tho
does the film come with pre-cut holes so the fogs do not get covered up when applying the film to the bumper?
also all that product only cost $60??
is this the kit you are talking about? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissa...item1e622093cc

MaxAlamo

Really like the idea of the film, but there's such huge diff in price vs. 3M. It won't fade the paint or harm it? Would really love to do this ASAP as I only have 1500 miles on my car, but want to make sure there's no downside.

MaxAlamo

Also, how do you like the Stillen intake so far? Is it noisy?

What did you do to the grill? Did you have it painted or do it yourself? Looks awesome!

eesjunin

I havent taken it out to do the front numper, but from benzo experience its all precut.
Thats the kit!

Its been on my Benz for 5 years...didnt see any fading, only on headlights/fogs due to heat from the lenses...so i wouldnt recommend this for that

Thank you! Intake...i am happy with it...see i dont drive the car pedal-to-the-metal so i am biased about the feedback...its deff louder above 2500 rpms
The grille- yea - i took it all apart masked off areas and used HD's plastic-dip to coat the chrome areas...see you shouldnt really paint chrome since it will just peel off so putting the plastic dip eases the process of removing it and recoating if it peels...and it usually peels due to rocks hitting it, so plastic dip is liek rummerized coating so cracking and peeling off might take much longer

eesjunin

Stillen lip- Check!

6.5affiliate

VERY nice. It completes the look of the front end.

eesjunin

Thank you! It surely does...couple of custom mod ideas coming up

6.5affiliate

No problem, looking forward to seeing the progress of your ride.

Little decal addition

eesjunin

The pony got debadge...next i have to redo my front bumper since its all beat up..so resurface the front+style it up with new creative pait/color i got in mind+ clear bra+ thinking of white plasti dip rims+ tint or mesh blinds for the rear side windows+ headlights done

AlDente67

What did the Eibach mod run you? I'm trying to budget my mods, and the drop is on top of the list, along with the Stillen lip.

Dieseldan

car looks great!

jgoon1

gotta love that white =)

eesjunin

Hey, i think Eibachs are 300 for the set and i had a local shop install them for $150 both front and back...i tell you - BEST MOD for this car so far! I think you can either go through Stillen or Ebay-there is a Nissan distributor that sells Eibachs for little cheaper than Stillen.

Thank you Sir!

Most deff! the only dilemma that not all "white upgrades" will match out cars...but deff have a great look to them!

u dropped 2 inches or more??
