Any slight curb rash touch up paint available anywhere? I thought I'd be nice and allow my bro in law to drive F**k.... Rest is history. Tried so hard keeping my cool.... I also have crimson black with sport package and those beautiful 19's.

Help! Any suggestions on touching these up..

Thanks,
Kam.

My bro in-law did the same thing, LMAO! Anyways, if you don't have one.. get a lip. Nice add-on and as long as you're driving you don't need to worry about the rash anymore.

aw Crimson Black.. I have it and just recently got my windows tinted. I'm going the chrome route ( not too much ) because in the sun it really pops! Do you guys prefer I get the lower spoiler and the roof spoiler or just 1?

Maxipad2011,

I've been waiting to do the DRL's in the same place can you please give some insight as to what brand you used and if you were to do it all over again what would you do different.

Thank you.

Save your money, just do the Stillen front lip. You have enough chrome type accents as-is so I wouldn't add anymore. I did the lower front chrome adhesive trim strip about 3-4 years ago, I probably wouldn't add it today but it's there and it still looks OK so it stays on for now.
The front grill is billet Alu (not really chrome).

Don't know if there's any Crimson Black family still out there still modding, but I was looking through the boards and saw maxipad's chrome delete. Best looking one I've seen for this color imo (I think the murdered look looks pretty bad in sunlight with this color) so I had to do it on mine. For some reason I've hated the the chrome handles on this car from the first time I ever saw this Maxima so I knew it had to be one of the first things I did.
​​​​​
I did my bottom window trim and handles, wrapped with vinyl. I wanted to match the car's paint but crimson black vinyl is near impossible to come by, so I got some samples. I decided on 3M's Ember Black; it's not a perfect match, but it fit my needs. It's black with some red and purple metallic specs (borderline glittery), as compared to the paint which is a very dark red with fewer specs. I think of it as what people imagine my car looks like in their head when I explain the color to them.

I was between Ember Black and Black Rose (darkest dark red vinyl color I could find), but the Black Rose wasn't a dark enough red (but metallic-ness more matched the car's). Ember Black looks like a near perfect match at night, when not in direct sunlight, and passes the 2 foot rule. In direct sunlight, they just shine a little more than the rest of the car, which you kind of expect from the handles anyway. I like the look, so I'll probably color-match paint the handles in the future.

Here's some pics. Hopefully I can resurrect some Crimson Black Max owners 🙂

The Cafe Latte interior is a nice contrast, and my preference (not that it matters in the least) over the gray or charcoal.

Thanks. I like the look, but it's a pain to keep clean unlike the darker colors. At least it's leather. Car could still use a tint though, had to give up the 10% it came with. Was never gonna get away with that.

Found these mats on eBay to bring it all together:
