I would get rid of all the chrome. you already have the darker wheels and grill so it would really match up.

That sounds good. Should I change them carbon fiber, or just to different set ? I seen someone in here changed them, and it looks good.

Congrats on the Max you'll enjoy it man.
Since you already have tints, you can replace all the bulbs out for LEDS in the interior and trunk and add HID fogs and headlights. If you have those already... Stillen lip, roof wing, Eibach or coil drop, custom headlights by Kmoney, change out your grill or paint it, tint tail lights.. or sarona body kit but it looks odd to me
There's engine mods also CXJ BOPs, CXJ V2 -Thermal Intake Manifold Spacers, stillen UD pulley, Custom CAI like Ghozt's Max or Short ram like K&N, R2C.... Stillen cat back, AAM Competition exhaust system.. or make a shop weld on a muffler like flowmasters or magnaflow.... y-pipe...

I added simple things for now to make the car look nice. I have HIDs in the front headlights, I haven't done the fog lights as of yet, but planning to make them HIDs too. 6K all in the front, since the car is already pearl white. I also added white LEDs in the back license plate. Soon, putting in illuminated Sills with another part on the door, that allows the nissan emblem illuminate the floor white. What do you guys think ?

I like it! The dark wheel matches with your white exterior very nicely.

Thanks, I just didn't like the stock 19's and the standard 18'. Even though they do look nice, just wanted something different. Plus, I rarely see anyone with the rims.

When I open up the door(s) whatever one that is open, every door has its own emblem. Meaning, on the ground itself, when someone opens a door, that particular will illuminate the floor with the nissan emblem. Some people have different colors, but I rather keep it white, cause the car itself is white.

Not a howto link for a maxima, but same idea I guess:

http://blog.modifystreet.com/how-to-...ourtesy-light/

Nissan LED's were for sale here through this ebay auction, but the auction is over. If you're interested, the seller probably has more in stock. Wouldn't hurt to send them a message:

Thanks fellas. That's the same one I was looking for, but the actually item and installed is 100 dollars. Some guy does it in his garage. He has his own shop too. Anyone lives in NYC, I have a contact number. He also does all LEDs. And headlights.

Ah man, why did you have to get the same color as me???? LOL... Just kidding, the rims look real good against the white. I plan on getting some 370z anniversary rims in the next month or so. Keep us posted on your mods.
