Im still in the air about the headlights, still researching what i want to do. I got the black series clear lenses so thats first, then i want to get rid of that fugly orange reflector. I already have custom 6k led side corners, and i custom wired the turn signal to only power when turn signal, not parking light or anything else, so when all lights are on its only the blue/white. I have 6k 55w high beams so not changing anything there. Ill probably upgrade stock d2s , still running the 4300k there. I would love to paint interior and do a led strip on the top to the inside of the front bumper, from nw to se on the passenger side, and ne to sw on the driver side, would look nice and flow with the body lines.

As far as the trunk, i took a pic of the badge and scanned it in, then printed out the lettering idk id say 4 inches tall, traced it into the trunk lid carpeting, next im going to cut out the lettering, then behind it place a smoked white somewhat transparent glass with an led strip behind it, and behind that wrap it a gloss white and close it off so the light wont escape. I have it in my head just need to get it out lol.

Youre tails look good. I have the sucky 11s that are all red and crap. I was going to buy a set of 12+s next year. I need a spoiler too lol. Im taking pics trust me, ive never uploaded a pic here yet but maybe ill figure that out soon.

Wow, sounds like you've got some pretty big plans lined up there for your next project. I'll look forward to seeing the progress there, and as far as the pics: photobucket is a nice way to go; it's easy enough to figure out!

Dude, its off topic but I was happy as ever when the Pats won. You're right, all butthurt sore losers can go home now.

And they won despite the refs clearly not calling some rough ****, Tom was not gonna be denied.

And I say all this, as a NY Giants fan. Congrats to Pats they deserve it and Brady is the real beast mode!

Amen to that. Your G-Men put that sickening feeling in our gut. Twice. I'm just happy that I couldn't care less about the 18-1 talk now and the, "you guys haven't won since SpyGate."

Heart attack city when Kearse made that play at the end there, though. Literally was having flashbacks to Tyree and Manningham. Crazy.

Pete Carroll finally got New England their championship!

How about that Max? What did you think? I thought it was sexy AF.

Yes, I'm curious as to what Auto Show will be the first to have that bad boy there and if you're able to sit inside, check it out, etc etc

Like others, am curious as to what the specs will look like as well.

As for the mufflers, I went with Magnaflow street series (don't recall model # and all that - - sorry) and I believe there is a video / sound clip on page 1, post #11. It was on a warm start during the summer. I think it's still up there. Let me know.

I come back to the .org to read up what I've been missing out on while my Max is parked for the winter. Aaaaaaand I gotta read about the Patriots... my interest in reading any further has, should I say, deflated?

Hahahaha yeah man, big things coming with the 8th Gen right around the corner. Exciting times!

As for "deflate gate," you're not being serious are you? Please, please, please tell me you were trolling! Lol

Boomer Esiason had an article today in which he literally said the following: The Colts and the Ravens conspired to embarrass the Patriots because they were embarrassed (Colts on the scoreboard -- pretty obvious -- and Harbaugh with the formations in the Divisional Round.

In fact, the one football that was significantly below spec was the one D'Qwell Jackson intercepted. Hmmmmmmm... kinda funny if you ask me, and not in a "ha-ha" kind of way. Esiason goes on to say that he thinks the Colts deflated it. Furthermore, the other 11 *****, although under inflated, were actually so close to spec that it goes to show there was nothing going on. Wow! Who knew! All good, though: if you can't beat 'em, smear 'em.

I, for one, will be looking forward to reading or watching the NFLs apology to Kraft, the Patriots, Belichick and Brady. I'm sure it'll be buried in fine print at the bottom of the last page in the sports section, though.

It's all good bay-bay, bay-buh!!

Black lugs for 2012+ oem 19" wheels? Anyone?

Having a helluva time trying to find some and have searched but found nothing too definitive; and apparently there is a difference in lug patterns from 2009-11 and 2012+ models...

I've never machine ANYTHING on any of my cars before as I previously took it to my guy for details 2x a year (apr & oct) and he delivered the goods. every time

So I'm not about to use my max as a guinea pig with polishing as I'm sure I'd burn right through the clear coat -- not about to happen. This sh*t, though? Holy sh*t. Incredible. We just did a two bucket wash on each of our cars and dried them, door jambs and all, and then we worked sections at a time with the nanoshock as I made sure to hit every nook and cranny I worked with the spray to keep it lubed up and would hit with the mitt. I'm telling you, if you're as meticulous with not only the cleanliness and appearance of your car but also with the paint protection then this purchase is no-brainer city as i'll definitely be buying another bottle

Pretty confident it made a believer out of omar as well and he can tell you how much of a difference it made on his whip

Just trying to put y'all on to that GOOD information if you're picking-up what I'm laying-down here

Anyway, a few pics taken from omars phone with no filter/trickery/tomfoolery - just as they are











Can you tell me what brakes you have on the maxima with after market rims? i just painted my stock calipers but i want to upgrade to a bbk.

Nothing really new on the mod front; I'll probably give it a good detail in the upcoming weeks here. I'll probably post a question over in the detail section about a full detail kit with everything needed from chemicalguys.com that I'm looking to grab on sale for around $230. Good reviews, etc.

Nice mods Dudemaine. Does anyone know if a panoramic (dual roof) sunroof wind deflector is available and where to get one? 2014 Max. The dealer does not list one.
