I bought a 2009 Metallica silver maxima a few months ago SV w/ Premium and am interested in seeing if anyone has pics of the same color with say a different grill or even a 2012 of the same color with the newer tail lights. Im thinking about getting the 2012 tail lights on ebay, but not exactly sure how good they would look on the lighter color paint.

Personally when I looked at the new Maximas I was sold on getting a 6th gen max or a last gem tl to buy, well after walking down the 2012 maxima line I fell in love with the silver and ended up leasing one. I couldn't stop looking at it on the lot, I still think it looks the best.

Pre-tint




One thing though is I think the dark wheels and tint bring out the lights more, I'm not sure what you have

I've done a thing or two to mine. I love my silver Max too

WOW!! That thing is beyond beautiful. I feel like my silver isnt that bright though...

Ghozt, I am sure you have been asked this before, but what kind of rims are those? And what are the dimensions of the tires you need for them? They look amaaazing. Also, did they come that color or did you get them done?

He's running 370z wheels and he painted them like the GTR rims color...

Ghozt has a ton of Zaino polish and gloss enhancer on his paint... so it looks and shines better than the OEM brilliant silver finish

I have like a metallic silver. I think it is called Radiant Silver

Yeah that's my paint color too. Super glossy though and in the right light it looks white

what kind of polish, wax, ect do you use?

Zaino everything now. even the glass cleaner and tire gloss, everything they make is amazing.

No ones modded one yet.

Dang, Ghozt, your max is practically glowing. Love that mirror sheen. Should have known these forums were gonna make me want to spend more money! Would you recommend the All-in-one?

Here's mine. Yes, I know, that was a bit too close to the wall.

I haven't tried the AIO (all in one) Zaino stuff before, so not sure. I got the starter kit and then supplemented it with a few others. Z6 is now my favorite, quick mist and wipe down before meets does wonders. here's a random pic from last night

Looks awesome, one thing I really wanna do is some LED drls like that, how flush are they to the car? I never thought about mounting them under the little ridge

Or Airstream!

And After:



I Don't generally talk about what Mods I have on the forums! However, I have a lot done, and clearly you could see some VIP Mods..Plenty of Ones that involve lighting, but you can't see from pictures. If you are ever in NY, You'll spot my car right away!

Radiant Silver is a very nice color, blends in with scratches from careless individuals who have no respect for cars. Its definitely an attention getter. I get compliments and looks every time I drive this Maxi.

GHOZT if u like Z6 then u will love Z8 a 100 times better than z6 and giving the paint the wet/pop that silver needs

it lasts a LONG time one spray per panel just empty some out into a eyeglass cleaner bottle wityh a spray head.

Great insight all around. Thanks, Ghozt, thanks, Dieseldan. I'm beginning to think the best way to let Radiant Silver stand out is give it a mirror sheen and gloss it out. I might give the all-in-one a shot. I'll report results if I do.

ima have to check that out then, i just took a 320 mile road trip and the car still looks spotless except for a few bugs on the front...damn I love Zaino!

yeah they're flush, I cut an opening with a dremel and modified some v-leds DRL's to fit. i dont have them on in most of my pictures cause i mainly use them at night. daytime=halos, nighttime=DRL/iron man
